I may think something you say is un-Christian, and I will let you know.

Catholics are not Christians BECAUSE you worship idols. Additionally, since God has commanded us not to associate with heathens &/or pagans those associates of yours are not Christians either. An idol celebrating Astarte, Isis and Aphrodite remains an idol even if you re-name it something else (but change no other details as a quick search will reveal) and anyone bowing in its general direction is worshipping
SATAN.
All catholics thereby worship him, whatever your priests tell you
Matthew 23:9† which brings us to your aunt. The demon occupying her is not dealt with except by the ministry of the Holy Ghost and that will not be happen until she associates with Christians. Or at least stops seeking after idols and physicians. The so-called personality "disorders" described by headshrinkers these days are all described in The Bible and when the symptoms are mentioned the remedy is
always exorcism. By way of contrast, illnesses are addressed by healing. When Jesus encountered autistic demoniacs He
never said, "oh this is not demon possession, this is autism," did He.
But whether or not you agree with that, there is a specific exclusion of disabled persons from the congregation of The Lord. Now I know that people might say, "that applied only to the priestly caste," or something but they don't know what they are talking about BECAUSE there is now no priestly function except in the form of the priesthood of all believers. Sure in the Old Testament times it was a simple exclusion, but we are not living in Old Testament times and now, were a Christian so afflicted, Jesus would intervene with healing or exorcism (or both) as required that we may be presented perfect before God.
Catholics do not qualify (obviously). Neither do autistics because if they were Christians they would have been exorcised.
Matthew 5:48 Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect. D-R†
