THE NEXT THING HE DID WAS MAKE STATEMENTS ABOUT ñ IN 1999 THERE WAS A NEW ROLE UNDER WHICH THE VATICAN URGED PRIEST TO SAY IF SOMEONE COMES TO YOU AND THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING A MENTAL PROBLEM IT IS POSSIBLE IT IS NOT THE DEVIL, IT MIGHT BE A MENTAL ILLNESS ISSUE IN WHICH CASE SHOW THEM TO A DOCTOR. THE POPE SETS THESE KIND OF AGENDA ITEMS. HE SAYS THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS. THAT IS THE ONLY JOKE I CAME UP WITH AHEAD OF TIME TODAY. >> THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION, THAT IS THE POPE SAYING I DON'T BELIEVE THIS. BUT IT IS STILL A POWERFUL FORCE IN THE CHURCH. COME ON THOUGH, FIRST CONFIRM WITH A REAL DOCTOR. AND THEN CONFIRM WHAT THE NON- HUMAN SCIENTISTS CALL EXORCISTS. HE IS TRYING TO STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE WITHOUT STEPPING ON TOO MANY CATHOLIC TOES. IT IS STILL FUNNY TO SEE THE FRAMING. HE SAYS YOU SHOULD DO THE EXORCISM ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. AND HE SAYS IF THERE IS A REAL SPIRITUAL DISORDER AS OPPOSED TO A FAKE SPIRITUAL DISORDER. TRUMP TWEETS ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. >>I THINK HE IS TRYING TO MAKE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN SPIRITUAL DISORDERS AND MENTAL ILLNESS. THIS IS THE PURVIEW OF THE CHURCH. I THINK THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COMMUNE AND DABBLE IN THE OCCULT. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SEE YOUR LOCAL RELIGIOUS EXPERT PENDING THEIR TRAINING. I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BUT I THINK THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO DABBLE WITH SPIRITUAL STUFF WHO NEED TO SEE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. >>I DON'T AGREE. >>I SAW THE MOVIE THE EXORCIST SO I AM AN EXPERT. I AM NOT A DOCTOR BUT I DID WATCH GRAY'S ANATOMY SEASONS. >> GRADE A ANALYST HERE. BRETT EHRLICH, ON OUR EXORCISM A TEAM. >> THERE IS A PLACEBO EFFECT. SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE ñ I THINK THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO OVER DRAMATIZE AN EVENT WITH AN AUTHORITATIVE FIGURE AND LENDS CREDENCE TO WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH THEM. BUT THEY CAN GO THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE AND COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE THE SAME WAY YOU CAN TAKE A SUGAR PILL AND JUST BELIEVE YOU ARE CURED AND BE CURED. IT IS THE MAGIC FEATHER. >> I SAW MY GRANDFATHER DO SOME MUSLIM VOODOO PRAYER READING. IN ISLAM YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WHISPER AND DO THIS BELOW. EVEN AS A 16-YEAR-OLD I THOUGHT IT WAS TOTAL BULLSHIT. IT WAS THE PLACEBO EFFECT. I KNOW MY GRANDFATHER, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WORKED WITHOUT ANY REAL INTENT OR ANYTHING BEHIND IT. YOU SOUND A LITTLE BIT MORE SPIRITUAL OR RELIGIOUS THAN I AM, WHICH IS NOT A HARD THING TO DO. >> I'M NOT TIPPING THE SCALES HERE. >> THERE IS NO ñ YOU SHOULD NEVER DO AN EXORCISM IT IS NOT A REAL THING. YOU SHOULD GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST AND GET SOME REAL HELP. I ALWAYS TELL THE STORY OF BOBBY JINDAL. I'M SORRY BUT DEMONS DON'T EXIST AND THEY DON'T POSSESS YOU AND YOU CAN'T GET THEM OUT BY DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL. >> I AM NOT SUBSCRIBING TO EXORCISMS OR THESE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS WHICH I DID NOT KNOW EXISTED. I THINK MENTAL ILLNESSES ARE REAL. I THINK ALL OF THAT IS RIDICULOUS BUT I DO THINK THERE ARE CERTAIN INSTANCES WHERE PEOPLE BELIEVE OR EXPERIENCE EMOTIONS AS SPIRITS LIKE DEPRESSION. I THINK IF YOU WANT TO GO TO YOUR RELIGIOUS LEADER FOR PRAYER THEN I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. I DO THINK ULTIMATELY IF YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBLE RELIGIOUS LEADER HE WILL TELL YOU TO GO SEE SOMEONE. >>I GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I HEAR YOU, BUT I DON'T AGREE. THE ONE THING WE CAN ALL AGREE ON IS THAT IT IS AMUSING THAT THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL EXORCISTS. I LOVE WHEN THEY SAY GET A LOT OF THESE AMATEUR EXORCISTS. >> EITHER EXORCISM BOARDS YOU HAVE TO TAKE? >> WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET ONE OF OUR REPORTERS TO DO AN EXORCISM GRADUATION.
