Lawrence Member Registered: 02/20/03 Posts: 1817 Loc: Illinois	I haven't been able to find much on this topic, but I was told that there are 2 or 3 if I remember correctly, within the Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Elizabeth Maria Orthodox Christian Member Registered: 12/20/03 Posts: 1196 Loc: Narnia	Aren't all Eastern Priests allowed to pronounce the prayers of exorcism? The two prayers written by holy saints and found in the book of needs are (1) Prayer of St. Basil the Great, and (2) Prayer of St. John Chrysostom. Both are extremely powerful and effective prayers.

Paul B Member Registered: 11/11/01 Posts: 342 Loc: Falls Creek, PA	The rite of Baptism has two prayers of exorcism, although these are more prayers for protection rather than prayers for expulsion. An exorcist should be appointed by his bishop; I'm not certain that a priest can even perform an exorcism without authorization, unless in an emergency situation (and I'm not sure about even this.) I don't know why we don't have one in the Archeparchy.
