ANSWER! / COMMENT!

According to the 1614 rite of exorcism in the Roman Ritual, which was influenced by earlier church teachings and practices, the four marks of demonic possession are generally understood as follows:

Unnatural strength: The possessed individual may exhibit extraordinary physical strength beyond normal human capability.

Supernatural knowledge: The demon may reveal knowledge that the person could not possibly know in a natural way.

Aversion to sacred objects: The individual shows strong dislike or resistance to holy items such as crucifixes, holy water, or relics.

Violent reactions to prayer or holy things: The person may react with aggression, convulsions, or resistance when confronted with prayer, exorcisms, or sacred symbols.

These signs help exorcists identify genuine cases of possession and distinguish them from other mental health issues.
