A minor exorcism consists of sacraments and blessings used to treat demonic influence. The priest will usually deliver a prayer, invocation or litany upon the afflicted. Lay people may also pray on the afflicted’s behalf. The Pope's Exorcist (15)". British Board of Film Classification. Archived from the original on March 24, 2023 . Retrieved March 24, 2023.
