Witchcraft is rarely mentioned in official documents of the
contemporary Roman Catholic church, but ideas about the dangers of
witchcraft and other forms of occultism underpin the recent revival
of interest in exorcism in the church. This Element examines
hierarchical and clerical understandings of witchcraft within the
contemporary Roman Catholic church. The Element considers the
difficulties faced by clergy in parts of the developing world,
where belief in witchcraft is so dominant it has the potential to
undermine the church's doctrine and authority. The Element also
considers the revival of interest in witchcraft and cursing among
Catholic demonologists and exorcists in the developed world. The
Element explores whether it is possible for a global church to
adopt any kind of coherent approach to a phenomenon appraised so
differently across different cultures that the church's responses
to witchcraft in one context are likely to seem irrelevant in
another.
