How would you know? Ever talk to an evil spirit before?
Fr. Amorth admits himself that "we can be saved only in His Name" (An Exorist Speaks Out, 22). However, in his conclusion to the book, he describes Mary's role as "an instrument of the divine plan," in the war against evil. Also, in a chpater where he describes the behavior of demons, he talks about how demons react to certain holy names. Obviously, demons are going to hate the Holy Name of Jesus. But most of them also cannot say the name of Mary, saying "she" or "your Lady" to indicate Mary. If the demon posessing a person is high-ranking, they can say these names, but "always followed by horrible blasphemies."
If you want to turn from a skeptic to a believe, I suggest you read his book.
I've been a believer for almost 20 years. I'm just not putting my faith in both Jesus *and* Mary.
I'm sure evil spirits hate Mary, but it wasn't her blood that was shed to defeat them. Is she cool? Yes. Does she deserve respect? Of course. She was the baddest woman of the Bible. But at the end of the day there's still only one Name.
And yeah, Pyro, I'm with everyone else on this one. You need to find yourself another church if your priest is telling the congregation to read books that glorify witchcraft.
Run, run, run.
Mary was the prototype for all of us: where Eve failed, Mary succeeded......she received all the grace to conquer sin and to mother Jesus.......many reason for the devil himself to fear Mary and her followers.....ie us! I always admire a priest who loves Mary.
