What will pope do if his egzorcism fails?

[Viktor]

The pope or a priest performs egzorcism against you (or whom ever).
His attempt fails and this denigrates his pathetic church proving that "god" does not exist.

What will pope or a priest do next to cover up this shame of theirs that is so sound it's heard on entire planet?

He will ask you for advice on how to boil his eggs next time.

That's almost correct, because they might want to take closer look at you to see why they failed.

Truth however, is that according to their doctrine a Catholic egzorcist is by profession required to distinquish between obsession by the devil and mental illness.

However since they already failed, to cover up their failure they declare you mentally ill person and do all what's in their power to force you into mental hospital.

This way if somebody points a finger at them for their failure (which is very uncommon btw.) they can point their finger at mental illness.

However shall their egzorcism succeed they would happily point a finger at the devil even if it was mental illness to blame.

Historically speaking (in times of Jesus and before) there were no doctors to treat mental illness, so egzorcisms were always successful at the expense of mental health of a person being egzorcized.

That's why today egzorcisms are so rare, and can easily fail. (and are much more shameful for the church due to mass media and internet) so they rather avoid it or do it secretly.

I think it's more common today for people to say / believe they have a mental disorder because medicines and attention gives them more comfort than a priest trying to drive out their evil thoughts or harmful desires (because that would be a one time thing instead of a subscription)

Full disclosure: I am not a doctor nor a priest and have never felt either possessed or having a mental disorder.
Edit:
Moving this to controversy

there were no doctors to treat mental illness, so egzorcisms were always successful at the expense of mental health of a person being egzorcized.

There were times in the history when doctors and priests were working togther either in a same place or worked together on doing both aspects of physical and spiritual treatments to heal

It is common in the church for priests to drive a cross into their stomach and die through this fashion to recover the church's honor, especially Christ's.

+ I heard from a witch friend that failed exorsims are matter of the permission of person who is possessed before performing the exorsim rituals
She explained that back in the days of priests where attempted to cast out the demon or evil spirit without the actual person's permission that matter alone was the cases of the hard and harsh exorcism processes and sometimes person's accidental death during the exorsism process

I would recommend you to read the father's amorth 2 volume books on exorsim if you havent yet

its not a shame to begin with. when someone comes to church to heal and the church cant find god in the patient, then its quite hard to heal tru church means. in this day and age we have psychiatry its a 'technical' way of how the brain works and has nothing to do with having gods conscious or not.

that the way of expressing 'sorry i cant help you there, ask an other doctor' is very poor. i agree with that.

I never heard of this, I suppose it's a good joke.
I only know of samurai doing similar thing by cutting their stomach to death.

Actually exorcisms can be and are performed without one's permission.

Nowhere did Jesus asked for permission to perform one if you read the Bible.
Also exorcists in middle ages didn't ask witches for permission to burn them (a brutal form of exorcism)

Today is no different, they happen without permission quite often and I was referring in fact to exorcisms without permission.

It's a shame when pope does it because he is "infallible" and does not do mistakes, especially not with exorcisms.
But since he failed that proved he is not holy man, and proved that he doesn't have holy spirit in him to perform exorcisms.
That was my point.
