A priest has carried out an aerial exorcism over the seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia in Italy to cast away demons believed to be plaguing the area following a series of thefts in churches and crosses being turned upside down.
Following a request of a local prayer group, a priest used a helicopter in performing a minor exorcism over the whole town, the Catholic News Agency reported.
“If Satan exists, he has taken control of Castellammare di Stabia,” the group said in a statement. “There was nothing left but to try the exorcist.”
