In a recent Facebook post, well-known Roman exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth said the Islamic State (ISIS) “is Satan,” also questioning the lack of response from Western nations.
“ISIS is Satan. Things first happen in the spiritual realms, then they are made concrete on this earth,” he said in an April 8 post on the social media website.
Father Amorth continued, “there are only two spiritual realms: The Holy Spirit and the demonic spirit.”
He said the demonic enters in “because evil is disguised in various ways: political, religious, cultural, and it has one source of inspiration: the devil. As a Christian I fight the beast spiritually.”
“The political world, which today seems to lack a response in face of the massacre of Christians, will also have to fight ISIS and it will do it in a different way. If it advances as it seems to be doing, we ask ourselves what has the West done over the course of the last decades.”
The priest, who founded the International Association of Exorcists, explained that Satan “keeps saying that the world is in his power, and what he says is true. Biblically speaking we are in the last days and the beast is working furiously.”
ISIS took control of the largest Christian city in Iraq, Qaraqosh, in August last year, causing tens of thousands of people to flee.
The terrorist group has persecuted and murdered Christians and other religious minorities in parts of Syria and Iraq.
Fr. Amorth, age 90, has performed over 70,000 exorcisms during the past 29 years. The number is so high because carrying out an exorcism can require multiple sessions and each time the rite is administered it is counted as one instance.
Fr. Amorth has previously spoken about the danger posed by people no longer believing in the devil, as well as a shortage of exorcists.
L'ISIS E' SATANA. Le cose accadono prima nelle sfere spirituali, poi diventano concrete su questa terra. I regni spirituali sono solo due. Lo Spirito Santo e lo spirito demoniaco. C'entra perché il male mascherato in vari modi, politiche, religiose, culturali, ha un'unica fomte ispiratrice, il demonio. Da cristiano, combatto la bestia spiritualmente. Anche la politica mondiale che oggi pare priva di risposte di fronte al massacro dei cristiani dovrà combattere l'Isis e lo farà in modo differente. Se avanza come pare chiediamo cosa ha fatto l'Occidente nel corso degli ultimi decenni. Ha mandato Dio al diavolo. Via le benedizioni dalle scuole, via le croci, via tutto, largo allo squallore. Satana mi risponde solo quando lo interpello. Ripete che il mondo è in suo potere, e qui dice il vero. Biblicamente parlando, siamo negli ultimi tempi e la bestia è al lavoro freneticamente.
I read his book in 2005 in AL Hillah Iraq (Babylon)...when doing my intelligence assessment as Operations Chief for the regional embassy office....I again referenced it when I wrote Babylon’s Covert War...the guy is spot on and knows what he is talking about...my assessment of battlefield for Islamic forces in general still stands...
Would love to hear his thoughts on Team Obama.
That was my first thought, especially after seeing the thread talking about Hillary having Obama as VP.
Thank-you Father for telling the TRUTH about ISIS. God Bless.
English Translation:
“Isis is satan. Things happen before in the spheres of spiritual, then become concrete on this earth. The kingdoms spiritual are only two. The holy spirit and the spirit of the demon. There comes in because the evil masked in various ways, political, religious, cultural, has a single fomte inspirational, the devil. As a christian, i fight the beast spiritually. Even the world politics that today seems devoid of answers in front of the massacre of Christians must fight isis and will do it in a different way. If it makes as it seems we are asking for what he has done the west in recent decades. God sent to hell. Away the blessings from schools, via the crosses, everything away, largo at the squalor. Satan responds to me only when you going. Repeats that the world is in your power, and it says here the true. Biblically speaking, we are in recent times and the beast is at work frantically.”
If ISIS is Satan and Obama sides with ISIS, that makes Obama a tool of Satan.
Actually, it is bigger than that. Simple to say islam is satan.
Can’t argue with his on that one.
I can get behind this priests words—In all their actions they have proven themselves to be agents of Satan.
I respect your opinion.
So I may encountered a FB problem then?

Says Father G: “The kingdoms spiritual are only two. The holy spirit and the spirit of the demon.”
You do the math. :-)
90 years old and still swinging. God bless him.
And he’s right.
What's that mean, BG?
God love Fr. Amorth. Spot on as usual. He has spoken out, over the years, against Harry Potter books as well, but many a Catholic paid no attention, and still to this day, meet his words with mockery.
I wonder also myself.
