* ArtisticLicenseReligion: The Catholic Church believes that demons can be exorcised with a single ritual, and no special rare book is needed. Granted, the ritual in the movie requires reciting a very lengthy prayer, so it's likely the book is needed because it contains the prayer for reading as such a long prayer would be near impossible to memorize.
