Francis’ Preferred Exorcist Is a "Lutheran"

Francis’ Preferred Exorcist Is a "Lutheran"

Professor Giuseppe Ferrari, an organizer of the annual “Course on Exorcism“ at the Roman University “Regina Apostolorum” which belongs to the Legionaries of Christ, told the fake-news New York Times (April 19) that for next year’s conference he wants to invite "the Pope’s preferred exorcist, a Lutheran”.

Ferrari does not mention his name.

However, in March 2013 the Argentinean Diario Popular named the flamboyant Lutheran preacher Manuel Acuña as “Pope Francis’ Favourite Exorcist”.

Acuña who calls himself a "bishop" and dresses up like a Catholic bishop, is a personal friend of Francis. He belongs to the "Charismatic Lutheran church of Argentina". In March 2015 he performed an "exorcism" of a 22-year-old woman in live broadcast. Debate.com.mx called this live show "sexy and unusual".

Bergoglio used to recommend Acuña as spiritual healer when someone showed signs of a diabolic possession.

That is the first time I have ever seen the words “flamboyant” and “Lutheran” together, lol.

Charitable words fail me. There is a quotation from St. Theresa Benedicta somewhere about how dangerous it is to be a quick witted person in the midst of an ironic situation.

It was much more eloquent than what Thumper’s mother said—if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

Is the pope Catholic?

Hell, no. Not if he thinks that apostates can fight demons better than Catholic priests can. Don’t get too mad at me, Lutherans: it seems the “Charismatic Lutheran” church is inventing its own rites. This isn’t a guy born into his own schismatic church (Lutheran), but who created his own apostate church.

I probably should’ve followed your advice.

There are few things more dangerous than an incorrectly performed exorcism. Don’t fool around with Satan or the other demons, as C.S. Lewis demonstrates in several of his books, fiction and non-fiction.

Yes, Chesterton makes the point, too.

I know of an Episcopal diocese who now refers all of their cases of possession to the Catholic diocese because one of their Episcopal priests conducted an exorcism and he went crazy and/or possessed afterwards.

Just say'n.

And we have better sausages.

Italians have better sauce.

Back to the topic... I have heard rumors of this. “In the field” (Madagascar) there are many Lutherans and Catholics working together.

Francis needs to pace himself. At this rate he’ll run out of ways to roil and estrange the faithful before his term ends.

Most likely not a confessional Lutheran and one of the apostate groups. But I notice Luther lives rent free in your head. I would think you have enough to do to take on the error in your own sect than to always worry about Luther, but thats just me.

Maybe the Lutheran Exorcist could take care of that (fails to heed own advice).

And our disagreements are still Family.

If it you and I, it is me. If it is Us vs Them, it is Us.

Just don’t ask us to say we like you......

It wasn't I who mentioned Luther; it was Bergoglio who recommended a Lutheran "exorcist".

Well Luther did exorcise a lot of error the RC church engaged in. But the fact remains you post a large number of articles mentioning Luther. I think you have a man crush on him.
