Catholic Exorcists Falling Apart: "Our Circles Infiltrated by New Age Practices"

The International Association of Exorcists (AIE), which represents 900 members worldwide, has issued a warning on January 8 against charlatans and unauthorized practices.

Some [unnamed] persons are performing exorcisms on their own authority, without the necessary training or without authorization from the responsible Novus Ordo bishop: "Some of these people even advise the faithful not to go to the official exorcist of the respective diocese".

The association also criticizes the use of esoteric or New Age practices that have infiltrated some exorcism circles. Such methods are "theologically wrong and promote a magical way of thinking contrary to the true faith".

Doctors and psychologists should be involved in order to rule out natural causes of suffering.

Finally, the association stresses the importance of avoiding sensationalism and media excessive media coverage of exorcisms.

Books or websites mixing Christianity and magic fool more than one.
On the other hand, Catholic exorcists also learn misconceptions, even in special training for exorcists in Rome.
My best example among many:
When a demon finally reveals his name after several refusals despite the imperative questioning of the exorcist, he is therefore defeated, then the exorcism is continued until the next demon says his name, and so on until the last demon. After what, the exorcism is considered successful.
FALSE !
Demons are good actors. They can brilliantly simulate deliverance, cease all bodily torment, and remain still for a few days.
This idea comes from a misinterpretation of the Gospel.
A demon can say his name or any name, and doing so is of no effect. It does not cause self-ejection out of the one who is affected by the possession.

This is what you get when demons rule the Vatican.

I know of many catholic priest (exorcist) that in Jesus name have liberated so many people... why such harsh judgements...

A new archbishop was installed in Milwaukee this week. He is an exorcist. He will have plenty of work to do.

Another important reason to remain in full communion with the Bishops in union with the Pope.

Only if the bishops and pope are in union with Christ and His Church.

What we should come to realize in recent years is that the entire world is possessed by demonic forces. How else do you explain that the number one cause of death on the globe is abortion. Last year alone we murdered over 73,000,000 unborn babies. Just consider that alone and we make past societies that had child sacrifices look like child’s play. The deadly and sinful lie is carried out in the name of freedom and democracy. And we have said nothing about so many other problems like pornography, human sex-trafficking and the horrible list goes on. The world needs an exorcism.

The world needs saints !!!! The small parish priest "Curé d'Ars" when fighting the devil, said that if there were 2-3 more saints like him, evil would lose its grip real fast... The world will change when we focus on being saints, as a consequence the world will become saintly.

A great saint, one of the most merciful saints there is when you read his story and realise how much of a pastor he was to his faithful. When his faithful members were astray he would himself bear what was lacking in the faith of his sheeps. A true example of what every christian is called to be for Jesus held our sins on his shoulders. Isn't there nothing more beautiful to think that my little prayers and my daily choirs can help a priest or a faithful somewhere to love God more and to move closer to him. God is so good with us that we can participate with him to his glory and might.
