Woman granted protection order after husband claims he's an 'exorcist priest'

Court hears the man claimed the family’s Bible caught fire while he was performing an exorcism

A woman was granted a domestic violence protection order after a judge heard that the woman’s ex-partner claimed he was an exorcist.

The woman told Arklow District Court that the man claimed he was a priest who specialised in exorcism, and he purchased a “Mass kit” containing a cross and holy water, the Irish Times reports.
