Well God Bless the Pope and the Priests trained in this area. The little I have had to do with this area has highlighted the fact that it takes a very specila and well trained person to venture forth taking ground from Satan and his minions. There should also be prayer warriors who meet to support these Priests in prayer.

Doing this work is like paiting a big bullseye on your back. It takes a very moral and spiritual person to resist the temptations and assaults that can come though the spiritual world

Blessings

I don’t know if or how exorcisms work, but I suppose using spiritualism to combat a spiritual force might work. One need only look to the middle east to see Satan.

"Thanks be to God, we have a Pope who has decided to fight the Devil head-on," he said.

There's the money shot. That's wonderful. I couldn't agree with him more. The more I hear of this pope the more I like him. God really does send us what we need.

Personal opinion only, an exorcism and $9.00 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. But go for it if that’s what flops your mop. Better than spending Sunday watching the Chiefs and Jets.

We've been had! Copied from a post on another thread:

I just found this at Catholic World News:

Vatican, Dec. 28, 2007 (CWNews.com) -

The Vatican has denied a report that Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) plans a new emphasis on exorcisms.

In an interview with Italy's Petrus web site, which concentrates on Vatican affairs, Father Gabriele Amorth, the official exorcist of the Rome diocese, said that the Holy Father would soon undertake a new campaign to combat demonic possession.

"Thank God," said the Italian priest, "we have a Pope who has decided to confront the devil head-on."

Father Amorth-- who has gained a worldwide reputation as an expert of the subject, and the author of a popular book on exorcism and demonic possession-- told Petrus that a new Vatican document would call for the designation of exorcists in every Catholic diocese around the world. He also said that Pope Benedict would restore the tradition of reciting the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, composed by Pope Leo XIII, at the end of every Mass.

But Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Vatican press office, flatly denied the Petrus report. The papal spokesman said: "Pope Benedict XVI has no intention of ordering local bishops to bring in garrisons of exorcists to fight demonic possession."

The topic of exorcism commands considerable public interest in Italy, and Father Amorth has frequently generated attention with his warnings about the unchecked spread of diabolical influence. In a new course on the topic, being offered by the pontifical university Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Father Paolo Scarafoni has warned that Satanic cults are making inroads in Italian society, and cautioned that the influence of the devil is real-- although he has also reported that most suspected cases of demonic possession can be explained by other factors.

The devil?

PUDDY: (pounding the hood) Hey, what are you doing?! Watch where you're driving, man! (He approaches the passenger side window) Don't mess with the Devils, buddy. We're number one, we beat anybody! We're the Devils! The Devils!! Haaaa!!!

(Puddy runs away, leaving the old priest shaken.)

FATHER HERNANDEZ: El Diablo! Dios mio! El Diablo!!

Didn’t they do this during The Inquisition?

This can ony help combat evil rampant among the faithless.

IN Russia within the Russian Orthodox Church, exorcisms are being done with great success.

Mar 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Mar 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

Mar 16:17 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;

Mar 16:18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

If you are Christian [not just a member of some religion that use the term 'christian'] you can and should be casting out demons. Forget the hollywood and RCC nonsense and DO what Jesus has told you to do.
