Was it exercised or exorcised?

Remember that line from 80s era templ film (and may be still in there?) "He is very much exorcised / exercised and seems to be sincere."

Was this a reference to physical fitness or having be recently rid of demonic posession?

Re: Was it exercised or exorcised?

It was exorcized, and had nothing to do with driving out demons. It was using the (pretty much) archaic difinition, meaning, "sworn-in", or, "giving an oath".

thanks - I guess I'll go back then!

Is that line still in the ceremony? I am delighted to report that I haven't been since maybe 1986.

Don't know, msmom, BUT ...

... the real question is:

"If I don't pay my exorcist will I get re-possessed?"

That's what I worry about!

LOL Timothy!

Drdad hadn't know it was related to an oath either. Thanks other brother for the info.
