Just came across this rather intriguing video about an analysis of the movie "The Exorcist."
I wonder if it could be possible that the boy that this was based on was sexually abused and hence the reasons for his behavior? Also given the fact that a lot of stuff centered around Catholics abusing young boys around this era. Also strikes one as suspicious as to how the Catholic church made sure most of the real story was kept a secret, and also the fact that the boy's identity protected also strikes me as suspicious. One cannot help but wonder if the real story did refer a case of sexual abuse; it most definitely wasn't one of supernatural demonic possession and that's for sure.
What do you think?

I’ve dealt with troubled children in real life though and have to say that her character’s behavior (minus the parts which defy the laws of physics) does seem to suggest that the “demon” was nothing more than a metaphor for some type of abuse. I believe a doctor in the movie suggests that might be the cause. The creators of the movie removed any implication of wrong doing by anyone though if that was the origin of the story
Not sure what to think about that whole church conspiracy either. Good luck getting to the bottom of that. Could be church haters spreading rumors or it could be church people concealing dirty secrets. It would make sense that the church would quickly assemble a ham fisted film with a flimsy plot which includes two heroic priests in retaliation to such a scandal. They’d have the money and influence to see that it reached a large audience too
