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?
I have said for decades, we all worship the Lord, Jesus Christ our Savior, so WHY all the petty fighting? How much stronger would we be if the different denominations would stop attacking each other and focus instead on a united front against Satan?

Makes zero sense - unless its another planned division to keep us in dark. Light destroys dark, if we were not infighting, it would be much more difficult for the dark.
It makes sense. Someone thinks the scriptures mean one thing, someone thinks they mean another. The two understandings aren’t always compatible. One of Jesus purposes seems to have been to correct some portion of that.
I imagine there has to be a better way to resolve the issue than “I’m separate here, you’re separate there”. Christians have to do a better job at dying to self than we’ve done…
In my experience, its mostly stupid shit. End of day, belief in Jesus, Lord and Savior, is what gets you to God.
