Bishop as Exorcist

Hi Father, It is my understanding that every Bishop (as successors of the Apostles) by nature of their consecrated status has the authority as an exorcist for their Diocese/Eparchy. However, they delegate that task to priests, such as you, because they are very busy. Are there any Bishops who do exorcism? Couldn't Auxiliary Bishops be tasked with this. Would their status as a Bishop with the fullness of Holy Orders make them more efficacious? Thank you.

Malefice vs curse

What is the difference between a malefice and a curse? How do you know if you've subjected to a malefice, what can you do to prevent or get rid of it? And have you had a case of someone who was subjected to a malefice?

Two Fold

Please address the position of the Church about Gays/Lesbians. And...your view of Donald Trump; on CNN.com "I drink my little cup of wine..and eat my little cracker". That is so horrendous and against anything Jesus died for on The Cross for True God fearing Christians. Thank you for all you do

Do Exocists usually have a second job/assignment

Do most exocists have a second job in the church? for example Fr Martins also has Treasures of the Church. Thanks

lists for confessions

I remember in a previous episode someone talking about not having a list for confessions. Is this an absolute no or ok in certain circumstances. For example I'm a doctor and always tell patients to write down questions they want to ask so that they have something to remind them during the appointment. I tend to be someone who will forget in the moment so make a reminder so that I dont miss something I planned. Is that ok? Is there a limit on the number of things you can address per confession? Thanks
