Sorry, I confused 2 posts... post #212 has the quote where he is communicating directly with the spirits, during his “mass”.

Not a problem. I had not seen that post because I first saw your post to me directly via "My Posts" in my account. I'm sorry I asked a question you already answered:

"The priest has found an effective formula is to have a Mass said for any soul that seems to be disturbing a place and gently telling the soul, "Call to Jesus. Keep saying 'Jesus' over and over, until He comes.""

I will admit that this is probably the only thing in the whole article that I question. First, because I had never heard of using the Holy Mass to pray for souls that are "disturbing a specific place" (rather than praying for "the Faithful Departed/souls in Purgatory as a group) and I have expressed this a few times in this thread already. Second, I have never heard of saying the things that the priest says during Mass.

Having said that, I have a feeling that this sentence is worded strangely. Although it appears that what he is saying is said *at Mass* it may be that he does the two things in his "formula" separately (ie. both work). Also, regarding your concern that he is communicating with the dead, what about exorcisms? Didn't the apostles exorcise and doesn't that require speaking to the dead (while also praying to the Lord)?

I would want to know more about this part of the article. Unfortunately, this is where the article ended. I am willing to give this priest the benefit of the doubt, but I do wonder whether his actions are in accordance with Catholic teaching/practices.
