Interesting Italian movie clip about Padre Pio and an exorcism (I guess). Funny, I wasn’t searching for anything like this — was looking at motorbike videos or something and this appeared in “related”. Weird.
"Funny" indeed! In 1964, I was 14 years old. Yet another saint that was living during my childhood. I just picked up a beautiful Padre Pio scapular when I was purchasing Fr. E's book, and I will be wearing it to a Tridentine Mass we have in the area, where many (even men!) wear "visible" scapulars along with most women wearing mantillas. St. John Vianney ("coincidentally" the name of the parish we'll be attending the TLM at) was another saint that was physically harassed by Satan.

BTW, my husband took part in an exorcism when he was quite young, in his teens, and his mother, upon hearing about it, quickly put an end to it. She was afraid the devil might enter his soul or trouble him, but yes, the movie clip you saw was a depiction of an exorcism. Thanks for posting!

Interesting in the clip how Padre Pio was able to directly view the devil, as he was able to view the state of souls. I can't see Satan directly so I stay the hell away from things like Harry Potter which are an obvious draw for him.
