I’m not all too convinced that the Catholic Church is trying to convert anyone by stating that demonic possession is possible through paganistic rituals or other forms of occultism. What they are trying to say is that one should refrain from dabbling in any of this stuff. It’s like playing russian roulette, where you put a bullet into a single chamber of a gun. You then spin the chamber and press the trigger, hoping that you’re lucky enough not to have gotten the one with the bullet in it. This analogy can be applied to dabbling with the occult or paganistic rituals. You’re playing with fire.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just a function of the Roman Catholic Church. Many evangelicals believe the same thing, that we pagans are possessed by demons that must be cast out. *sighs* My brother is, unfortunately, one of them and fervently believes that I am going to hell unless the demon is cast out. It’s why I generally have no contact with him unless it can’t be avoided.
