15 Interesting Facts About Popes

Classes on exorcism in the Vatican

This isn’t really a big advantage of being the Pope, but it’s just an interesting fact. Exorcism is a ritual acknowledged by the Catholic church and there are special educational courses for exorcists in the Vatican. Of course, not just anyone can take these courses, only priests. There is a textbook and a professor, but there is nothing “Hollywood” about these courses: exorcists are taught to free the possessed with prayers, qualified doctors, and psychiatrists.
