Exorcist: "I wish that one day a Great Exorcism will be carried out in the Vatican."
Eponymous Flower ^ | 1/30/17

Father Gabriel Amorth, who died in September 2016, was severely criticized when he repeatedly said in interviews that there were satanic sects in the Vatican. Now another exorcist, "I wish that one day a Great Exorcism will be carried out in the Vatican."
In January 2008, Father Amorth said in an interview of Alexander Smoltczyk for the weekly magazine Der Spiegel :
"There are satanic sects in the Vatican. You can not see them. But there are."
Criticism of this statement also came from other exorcists. Father Amorth was exorcist of the diocese of Rome from 1986 until his death. From 1992 he was even the main exorcist in the diocese of the Pope (see Father Gabriele Amorth, the main exorcist of Rome, is dead - 30 years in the fight against the devil ).
Now Father Amorth was indirectly affirmed by another exorcist. Don Antonio Fortea, also priest and exorcist, said in an interview to the Spanish edition of Newsweek :
"I hope that one day a Great Exorcism will be carried out in the Vatican."
Don Fortea himself has already led aseveral large exorcisms . In one even "a cardinal" also took part.
The Spanish Don Antonio Fortea was ordained priest for the diocese of Alcalá de Henares in 1994. In the following years he devoted himself mainly to demonology. In 1998 he completed his studies of theology and Church history at the Facultad de Teología de Comillas with the work "The Exorcism in our time." When confronted in the course of his pastoral work as a priest with "problems of demonic nature", he deepened his studies on the subject and was awarded a doctorate at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum  in Rome with a thesis on "Theological problems of exorcism practice."
He developed his own form for the Great Exorcism, which is directed against the presence of demons in certain places, buildings or even whole cities. This form is not approved by the Vatican, according to his own account. This is true, but it is more important, if it is not "forbidden" by the Vatican or any other ecclesiastical authority, specifies Don Fortea. There had so far been no Church complaint. Even a Cardinal had participated in such a Great Exorcism. He is always willing to defend this form before the competent authority.

“There are satanic sects in the Vatican. You can not see them. But there are.”

Certainly explains a lot.

We might not see them directly, but their fruits are painfully obvious.

Too bad he died before performing the only exorcism the Church desperately needs...

Do not under-estimate the prayer power of the lowly masses.

Ditto here too. You can never do harm by shining Light on darkness.

I was in the Vatican (St. Peter’s Basilica) several years ago when security guards very rudely just started pushing and shoving people to create a wide path so one of the top officials could strut through the middle of the room with his staff, high hat, golden decor and velvet robes. It was sickening. It was not part of a service, just his passing through.

This was shortly after John Paul II died. I loved that man.

I’m just now reading “An Exorcist Explains the Demonic” by Fr. Amorth. It’s very accurate in its details.

I have no question that Fr. Amorth is helping us even more from Heaven than he did while here on earth. We need more like him.

How about whole countries? Like the USA, where the demons hate God, hate the family, hate fetuses, hate freedom, hate, hate, hate.

Just watching the "Women's March" and the words and signs, it was about as demonic as you can get.
