Around 95 minutes, Father Karras has just seen Regan, and had a long conversation with her, tape recording it. Regan/the demon/the devil" has clearly shown (at least) 6 to 8 "things" in his presence which support an exorcism (IE: Speaking in tongues; Opening a drawer without touching it; Telling Father Karras he could "leave a message for his mother" (she recently died); Speaking in Latin, French, plus backwards in English (none of which Regan had previous knowledge of); Speaking in another voice; Projectile vomiting intentionally; Violently moving her bed and body, etc. Father Karras comes out of the room and speaks with Regan's mother "Chris MacNeil" (played by Ellen Burstyn). Even though all these demonstrations by Regan support an exorcism, all Father Karras tells her mother is one thing which doesn't support it: Regan asked him "What is that" and he replied "Holy water". He then throws the water onto Regan and she reacts violently, writhing and screaming "It burns, it burns". Father Karras says "It was tap water." Chris replies "So what?", and he tells her "This does not support an exorcism." Therefore, even though he has been shown and given many things by the demon many things which support it, the father mentions the single exception to this (which he had lied to the demon about) it being "Holy water" which is a mitigating factor. This is clearly a huge hole in the plot.
