For all those (and I know many) who make light of Ouija Boards, Seances, Fortune telling, Tarot Cards, Channeling, Wicca etc., you have no idea that all of these things are opening you and those around you up to the devil. For those who do not believe in him, you already belong to him. Wake up! Father Gabriele Amorth, exorcist – obituary". The Telegraph. 2016-09-20. ISSN 0307-1235 . Retrieved 2023-04-13.

As long as films like The Pope’s Exorcist continue to perpetuate the Catholic Church’s effectiveness against demonic incursion, exorcism will remain as a viable spiritual practice for the foreseeable future .Read it and live! Read it and learn about narcissism...its diabolical in nature! Read it and be FREE in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord! Learn the prayers and pray it over your household! Over your job, your kids, your life! Ever since director William Friedkin terrorized audiences with his 1973 classic The Exorcist, films about demonic possession have become a horror staple. So it was only a matter of time before the story of Father Gabriele Amorth, who claimed to have performed tens of thousands of exorcisms prior to his death in 2016, hit the big screen.

Vatican II, an international conference of Catholic bishops held between 1962 and 1965, signalled a move away from exorcism as the church attempted to modernise. Movies like The Exorcist changed the conversation around exorcisms, which was previously regarded as witchcraft. This shift in perception made Father Amorth's career as an exorcist possible. Now, Russell Crowe’s new supernatural horror film The Pope’s Exorcist fictionalises Amorth’s exorcism ministry, adding in a centuries-old Vatican cover up for good measure. urn:lcp:exorcisttellshis0000amor:lcpdf:14e2d756-8cb8-4037-9980-c4fdf1107420 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier exorcisttellshis0000amor Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2md98d03nz Invoice 1652 Isbn 0898707102 One, to be clear, I am a spiritual person who finds truth in every religion and spiritual practice. I was raised Catholic and find so many of the Catholic traditions beautiful, meaningful, important, significant, and filled with truth. I also am a yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, have studied Buddhist meditation, astrology, mythology, and have many personal pagan practices. By those accounts, I suspect this author would happily let me know I was going to hell, despite the fact that my most meaningful spiritual practice is...Amorth claimed that Emanuela Orlandi, a Vatican City schoolgirl who went missing in Rome in 1983, was kidnapped for a sex party by a gang involving Vatican police and foreign diplomats. He said that she was later murdered and her body disposed of. Amorth claimed that girls were recruited at the Vatican for parties, adding that her death "was a crime with a sexual motive." [29] As of 2023, Orlandi's disappearance remains unsolved. The Vatican last codified the rites of exorcism in 2004 in an updated Latin-language document, De Exorcismis et Supplicationibus Quibusdam. [19] Books [ edit ] Amorth’s claim of performing over 60,000 exorcisms requires further investigation. In his biography An Exorcist Tells His Story Amorth clarified an exorcism was an individual prayer or ritual ranging anywhere from “a few minutes” to “many hours” in length. He could thereby perform dozens of exorcisms per day, usually on troubled souls appearing on his doorstep.

I could NOT get through this. This is a DNF but I am counting it because it gave me so much to say about it. If you don't believe in demonic activity, you'll have a hard time with this book. You'll have to conclude that Gabriele Amorth is outright lying about the things he's seen and the work he's done.First of all, you are expected to take it as read that, sometimes, people have problems which are caused by demons. This is a given. You can tell straight away that demons are involved, except when you can't and have to work it out later. You have to be careful, though, because sometimes problems look like they're caused by demons and it turns out they aren't. Fr. Gabriele Amorth is the Chief Exorcist of Rome. He has performed hundreds of exorcisms over many years.
