A man of science confronts demonic possession (CNN)A small group of nuns and priests met the woman in the chapel of a house one June evening. Though it was warm outside, a palpable chill settled over the room. As the priests began to pray, the woman slipped into a trance - - and then snapped to life. She spoke in multiple voices: One was deep, guttural and masculine; another was high- pitched; a third spouted only Latin. When someone secretly sprinkled ordinary water on her, she didn't react. But when holy water was used, she screamed in pain.

Leave her alone, you f***ing priests," the guttural voice shouted. Stop, you whores. You'll be sorry."You've probably seen this before: a soul corrupted by Satan, a priest waving a crucifix at a snarling woman. Movies and books have mimicked exorcisms so often, they've become clichés. But this was an actual exorcism - - and included a character not normally seen in the traditional drive- out- the- devil script.

Dr. Richard Gallagher is an Ivy League- educated, board- certified psychiatrist who teaches at Columbia University and New York Medical College. He was part of the team that tried to help the woman. Fighting Satan's minions wasn't part of Gallagher's career plan while he was studying medicine at Yale.

He knew about biblical accounts of demonic possession but thought they were an ancient culture's attempt to grapple with mental disorders like epilepsy. He proudly calls himself a "man of science." Yet today, Gallagher has become something else: the go- to guy for a sprawling network of exorcists in the United States. He says demonic possession is real. He's seen the evidence: victims suddenly speaking perfect Latin; sacred objects flying off shelves; people displaying "hidden knowledge" or secrets about people that they could not have possibly have known."There was one woman who was like 9. She threw a Lutheran deacon who was about 2. That's not psychiatry.

That's beyond psychiatry."Gallagher calls himself a "consultant" on demonic possessions. For the past 2. 5 years, he has helped clergy distinguish between mental illness and what he calls "the real thing." He estimates that he's seen more cases of possession than any other physician in the world."Whenever I need help, I call on him," says the Rev.

Gary Thomas, one of the most famous exorcists in the United States. The movie "The Rite" was based on Thomas' work."He's so respected in the field," Thomas says. He's not like most therapists, who are either atheists or agnostics."Gallagher is a big man - - 6- foot- 5 - - who once played semipro basketball in Europe. He has a gruff, no- nonsense demeanor. When he talks about possession, it sounds as if he's describing the growth of algae; his tone is dry, clinical, matter- of- fact. Possession, he says, is rare - - but real."I spend more time convincing people that they're not possessed than they are," he wrote in an essay for The Washington Post. Some critics, though, say Gallagher has become possessed by his own delusions.

They say all he's witnessed are cheap parlor tricks by people who might need therapy but certainly not exorcism. And, they argue, there's no empirical evidence that proves possession is real. Still, one of the biggest mysteries about Gallagher's work isn't what he's seen. It's how he's evolved. How does a "man of science" get pulled into the world of demonic possession?

His short answer: He met a queen of Satan. A 'creepy' encounter with evil. She was a middle- age woman who wore flowing dark clothes and black eye shadow. She could be charming and engaging. She was also part of a satanic cult. She called herself the queen of the cult, but Gallagher would refer to her as "Julia," the pseudonym he gave her.

The woman had approached her local priest, convinced she was being attacked by a demon. The priest referred her to an exorcist, who reached out to Gallagher for a mental health evaluation. Why, though, would a devil worshipper want to be free of the devil?"She was conflicted," Gallagher says. There was a part of her that wanted to be relieved of the possession."She ended up relieving Gallagher of his doubts.

It was one of the first cases he took, and it changed him. Gallagher helped assemble an exorcism team that met Julia in the chapel of a house. Objects would fly off shelves around her. She somehow knew personal details about Gallagher's life: how his mother had died of ovarian cancer; the fact that two cats in his house went berserk fighting each other the night before one of her sessions. Julia found a way to reach him even when she wasn't with him, he says. He was talking on the phone with Julia's priest one night, he says, when both men heard one of the demonic voices that came from Julia during her trances - - even though she was nowhere near a phone and thousands of miles away.

He says he was never afraid."It's creepy," he says. But I believe I'm on the winning side."How a scientist believes in demons. He also insists that he's on the side of science. He says he's a stickler for the scientific method, that it teaches people to follow the facts wherever they may lead. Growing up in a large Irish Catholic family in Long Island, he didn't think much about stories of possession. But when he kept seeing cases like Julia's as a professional, he says, his views had to evolve.

Some priests say those who dabble in the occult are opening doorways to the demonic."I don't believe in this stuff because I'm Catholic," he says. I try to follow the evidence."Being Catholic, though, may help.

Gallagher grew up in a home where faith was taken seriously. His younger brother, Mark, says Gallagher was an academic prodigy with a photographic memory who wanted to use his faith to help people."We had a sensational childhood," Mark Gallagher says. My mother and father were great about always helping neighbors or relatives out." Their mother was a homemaker, and their father was a lawyer who'd fought in World War II. My father used to walk us proudly into church. He taught us to give back."Gallagher's two ways of giving back - - helping the mentally ill as well as the possessed - - may seem at odds.

But not necessarily for those in the Catholic Church. Contemporary Catholicism doesn't see faith and science as contradictory. Its leaders insist that possession, miracles and angels exist.

But global warming is real, so is evolution, and miracles must be documented with scientific rigor. One of Gallagher's favorite sources of inspiration is Pope John Paul II's encyclical "Fides et Ratio" ("On Faith and Reason"). Watch Online Watch Frankie And Johnny Full Movie Online Film. The Pope writes that "there can never be a true divergence between faith and reason, since the same God who reveals the mysteries and bestows the gift of faith has also placed in the human spirit the light of reason."The church's emphasis on faith and reason can even been seen in the birth of its exorcism ritual.

The Rite of Exorcism was first published in 1. Pope Paul V to quell a trend of laypeople and priests hastily performing exorcisms on people they presumed were possessed, such as victims of the bubonic plague, says the Rev.

Mike Driscoll, author of "Demons, Deliverance, Discernment: Separating Fact from Fiction about the Spirit World.""A line (in the rite) said that the exorcist should be careful to distinguish between demon possession and melancholy, which was a catchall for mental illness," Driscoll says. The church knew back then that there were mental problems. It said the exorcist should not have anything to do with medicine. Leave that to the doctors."Doctors, perhaps, like Gallagher. Gallagher says the concept of possession by spirit isn't limited to Catholicism.

Muslim, Jewish and other Christian traditions regard possession by spirits - - holy or benign - - as possible."This is not quite as esoteric as some people make it out to be," Gallagher says. I know quite a few psychiatrists and mental health professionals who believe in this stuff."Dr. Mark Albanese is among them.
