Jesus performed exorcisms and from him the Church has received the power and office of exorcising 178 In a simple form, exorcism is performed at the celebration of Baptism. The solemn exorcism, called \u201ca major exorcism,\u201d can be performed only by a priest and with the permission of the bishop. The priest must proceed with prudence, strictly observing the rules established by the Church. Exorcism is directed at the expulsion of demons or to the liberation from demonic possession through the spiritual authority which Jesus entrusted to his Church. Illness, especially psychological illness, is a very different matter; treating this is the concern of medical science. Therefore, before an exorcism is performed, it is important to ascertain that one is dealing with the presence of the Evil One, and not an illness.\u201d (179)
