Exorcist: "I wish that one day a Great Exorcism will be carried out in the Vatican."
Kathloishes
Father Gabriel Amorth, who died in September 2016, was severely criticized when he repeatedly said in interviews that there were satanic sects in the Vatican. Now another exorcist, "I wish that one day a Great Exorcism will be carried out in the Vatican."
In January 2008, Father Amorth said in an interview of Alexander Smoltczyk for the weekly magazine Der Spiegel :
"There are satanic sects in the Vatican. You can not see them. But there are."
Criticism of this statement also came from other exorcists. Father
Amorth was exorcist of the diocese of Rome from 1986 until his
death. From 1992 he was even the main exorcist in the diocese of the
Pope (see Father Gabriele Amorth, the main exorcist of Rome, is dead - 30 years in the fight against the devil ).
Now Father Amorth was indirectly affirmed by another exorcist. Don
Antonio Fortea, also priest and exorcist, said in an interview to the
Spanish edition of Newsweek :
"I hope that one day a Great Exorcism will be carried out in the Vatican."
Don Fortea himself has already led aseveral large exorcisms . In one even "a cardinal" also took part.
The Spanish Don Antonio Fortea was ordained priest for the diocese of
Alcalá de Henares in 1994. In the following years he devoted himself
mainly to demonology. In 1998 he completed his studies of theology and
Church history at the Facultad de Teología de Comillas with
the work "The Exorcism in our time." When confronted in the course of
his pastoral work as a priest with "problems of demonic nature", he
deepened his studies on the subject and was awarded a doctorate at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome with a thesis on "Theological problems of exorcism practice."
He developed his own form for the Great Exorcism, which is directed
against the presence of demons in certain places, buildings or even
whole cities. This form is not approved by the Vatican, according to his
own account. This is true, but it is more important, if it is not
"forbidden" by the Vatican or any other ecclesiastical authority,
specifies Don Fortea. There had so far been no Church complaint. Even a
Cardinal had participated in such a Great Exorcism. He is always willing
to defend this form before the competent authority.
