...The doctrine that the devil is a personal expression of fallen evil spirits was recently recognized by the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) and confirmed by Pope Paul VI. However, the view that the devil acts from the outside on humans to make a contract with evil, or even resides within individuals through a contract with the devil, leaves room for medieval institutions such as exorcism, which exorcises evil spirits that exist in individuals, and the Inquisition and witch hunts, which eliminate local communities possessed by evil spirits. Therefore, even within Catholic theology, an internal understanding that links the representation of the devil to the universal evil that lurks within humans is becoming more and more prevalent. The devil, who is the enemy of God and the enemy of Christ (Antichrist), inevitably gives rise to Satanists who worship the devil, the antithesis of God, as the supreme god. *Some of the terminology that refers to "exorcism" is listed below.
