Demon infestation
Infestation means to inhabit or overrun in numbers large enough to be harmful or threatening. Demons are real (James 2:19;4:7; Job 4:15; Luke 8:2; Luke 8:30; Mark 3:11; Mark 9:29; Matthew 8:29; Matthew 12:43-45).
This seems to be a bad problem in the Catholic Church because they have incorporated many pagan practices into the Christian religion. It is especially bad in Asian countries because they have added many superstitions to it. So it is no surprise that Demonic possession is so prevalent. People's mind's are open to it the Catholic Church.
A true Christian cannot be Demon possessed because they have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5; 1 Corinthians 6:19).
Catholic beliefs
Catechism 1793 of the Catholic Church states " if the ignorance is invincible, or the moral subject is not responsible for his erroneous judgment, the evil committed by the person cannot be imputed to him." Invincible means that ignorance cannot be overcome or conquered. This is not so. Granted all of us are ignorant about things. but if we want to find out about that thing we are no longer ignorant about it.
They have taken John 9:41 completely out of context. Back in John 9:39 it says " And Jesus said, for judgment, I am come into this world, that they who see not might see: and they which see might be made blind." This means Christ is the Light and reveals the heart. Sinners and Publicans were able to see, while the Jews and the Pharisees were not although they claimed to be enlightened, they were not, because they had closed eyes. They were not blind the way we think of being blind. They simply refused to believe. So blinded here means those who would not see.
Romans 1:20 says there is no excuse for not believing in God. The qualities of God can be seen in creation. Micah 6:8 also talks about ignorance not being an excuse.
