An Exorcist Tells His Story

Product Information

Also realistic in terms of talking about how demon possession/oppresion can have very few symptoms, and yet at the same time we shouldn't go around saying how everything is demonic, etc. Yes I believe in demonic possession, and the power of Mary to intercede. I believe in Jesus as a significant teacher and role model and who rose from the dead, because I believe in miracles. I am open and receptive to the concept of the Trinity (which appears in many religions) as it pertains to Catholicism, as well as the concept of a spiritual teacher sacrificing his life to teach us about sacrificial love, redemption, and our soul. I believe in Saints and angels and their power to guide us. I didn't really relate to the author in regards to the spiritual aspects of exorcism and the responsibilities of being an exorcist. For that, the responsibilities of an exorcist, is not clear, which subjectively... isn't the problem, but what is the problem is that - "The revolving understanding of what exorcism is, and the spiritual relationship of exorcism with that of a person's wellbeing, spiritual identity, spiritual life, and overall generalized existence... contradicts itself. Which makes me, feel very uncertain with the intentions of exorcism.

While many clergy remain sceptical, support for exorcism is present at all levels of the Catholic Church. And in the last decade, the practice has experienced a worldwide surge in demand.

Very interesting book. The author talked about staying away from superstitions, etc. and yet at times I felt he felt prey to them. The other part of this book is he himself has gone through alot, and helped alot of people take their ground as victorious in Christ...and he provides a realistic view that sometimes it takes longer and sometimes less time to fully exorcise demons from people/places. A good book, not necessarily one I'd recommend, but quite eye opening to get a glimpse within the Catholic Rites and a challenge to Protestants: why do we not reject Satan at the time of our initiation into faith? Be it "born again" or "Confirmed" why do we not have that part of rejection as we accept? It's something more to ponder!Amorth is the ideal figure for dramatisation. He neatly embodies the archetype of the Catholic exorcist: the courageous man of faith who rescues afflicted souls from the Devil’s clutches. Amorth, Gabriele (2016).

[25] 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.

In 2012 he made headlines for asserting paedophilic cults operated within the Vatican. Father Amorth wrote more than thirty books in Italian, many of which have been translated into other languages. The following are his books in English: At a film festival in Umbria (where he was invited to introduce the 2011 film about Exorcism called The Rite), he is quoted as saying that yoga is satanic because it leads to the practice of Hinduism and "all eastern religions are based on a false belief in reincarnation" and "practicing yoga is satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter."
