Ecumenical ‘Exorcist’ sequel reflects profound cultural changes since the Catholic original

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: three evangelicals, an atheist, an ex-nun, and a rootworker walk into an exorcism. Fifty years after William Friedkin’s The Exorcist shocked America, director David Gordon Green has delivered a new entry to the franchise with Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair reprising their roles from the original.
