Is Exorcism a Church Sacrament?

0

A. 2. The belief in Roman Catholicism is that unlike Baptism or Confession, Exorcism is one ritual that isn’t a sacrament. Unlike a sacrament, exorcism’s “integrity and efficacy do not depend … on the rigid use of an unchanging formula or on the ordered sequence of prescribed actions. Its efficacy depends on two elements: authorization from valid and licit Church authorities, and the faith of the exorcist.” That being said, Catholic Exorcism is still one of the most rigid and organized of all existing exorcism rituals.
