Pope John Paul II performs "impromptu exorcism"
As the pope was about to bless a 19-year-old last Wednesday at St. Peter's Basilica, she began "yelling obscenities at him in an agitated and cavernous voice clearly not her own," witnesses reported. The Pope took her aside and prayed with her for half an hour. "It appeared afterwards that the Pope's intervention had only a temporary effect on the girl," reports
The Telegraph.
