      So which was it, 300 demons/year or 300 exorcisms/ year only 100 of which were real, the others sent for Psychiatric help???
      Or are you saying he completely lied about 300/year over his lifetime and only ACTUALLY witnessed 100 genuine real cases of possession??
      You have contradicted yourself.

      He's incorrect on some dogmas like papal infallibility. This probably stems from the Church's way of defining dogma when people start disagreeing with the Church. Some see this is creating dogma when that just isn't true.
