An Exorcist Tells His Story

Product Information

Maybe if this had been written more recently, or it had been written by someone with a more loving, understanding, and inclusive perspective. Although he admits some Protestants are more inclined to fight demons than Catholics, he's rigid in the way that it can be done. Amorth has in fact tried to make the book more organized and thus arranges the chapters into various points.

Groeschel is a Capuchin Friar, and is a celebrity in the world of Catholicism, known for his insights, intelligence and holiness. Amorth very simply lays out all those things in life that the evil one uses to draw people in and then to make them suffer. If people deny his existence, it is easier for him to do his work, because no one protects against him. He bashes psychologists for not considering spiritual problems after years of little success in patient treatment, however when he as an exorcist needs years to free a possessed person this criteria doesn't apply. He gives the reader categories of demonic influence, which he labels as Possession, Obsession and Oppression.

It is very Italian, somewhat rambling, and using inconsistent terminology (at least in translation). The cooperation of the victims is necessary and very helpful, in the form of much prayer, frequently going to confession and receiving communion, a habitual state of grace, and a truly Chistian life.

The idea that every astrologist, spiritual healer, aura reader and so on can cast a demon at you is not something I subscribe to. It is difficult to believe this is an in-demand service if the church is acquiescing to its gradual extinction. Sometimes it will work but you will still need a doctor to fix the damage the demon did in the meantime.

Unlike, the flamboyant, megalomaniac American Exorcists who claim to have more powers than God himself, and who have converted this warfare into an ugly commercialized market, Fr. If one of your ex's has suddenly dumped you with no explanation it could have been due to a curse, yo.

It is a matter of fact presentation of the reality of the spiritual realm by a man who touched it without fear every day.Its a shame that so many priest in this devil run modern world avoid talking about the devil and his demon companions. To me the chapter from a viewpoint of a formerly possessed person was absolutely indistinguishable from a PoV of a mental health patient. I truly hope who ever reads this takes in all he can and realises what's going on in the spiritual world.
