I am Protestant, baptized and raised, but I do not ever hear about Protestant pastors driving out demons in exorcisms. We know the spiritual world is real, so exorcisms have to be real by default. Demons can call out our sins to accuse us and drag us down with them, so that is also universal between Catholics and Protestants.
So what is the defining difference that gives Catholics the power to do the exorcisms and not Protestants?
Do they teach in a way that gives more divine authority? Are we doing something wrong? Or is it withholding information within the Catholic church?
Also, not to belabor this, but think about what demons are.
They're definitely intelligent beings. They are not constrained by the physical realm as we are. They have millennia of experience and accumulated knowledge about humans in general and the people they interact with in particular. And God has allowed them to have powers that we don't completely understand.
From what I've read of exorcisms, the demons are constrained by God, but God also allows them free will and the ability to resist. The exorcism is as much as test of faith for the exorcist as it is a process for the possessed. It's not just utter a few incantations and demon-be-gone. And they don't just go sulk in a corner for eternity when they've been expelled and some are particularly experienced and difficult to fight. The Gospels call for putting on the armor of God. Like any war - putting on the armor is just the first step in preparation. You still have to fight and it is a war.
Yet they can be rage baited easier than humans.
