Demons claim they conspired to create confusion around pope's teaching
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - A prominent exorcist priest, interviewed in a new bestseller on demonic possession and divine deliverance, is claiming that the Devil is terrified of Pope Francis.
"I hate Pope Francis because he is the vicar of 'that one' [Jesus], but he scares me because of his power," the Devil, speaking through a possessed man told an exorcist priest from a large diocese in Mexico, the exorcist testifies in the book.
Francis' Fiasco
According to the exorcist, the Devil said that "God inspired Francis to proclaim the Holy Year of Mercy so that people would pray for him. But it was a fiasco. No one prayed! We conspired and created confusion around his teaching."
The rite of exorcism does not allow the priest to converse with the victim, but "these were utterances spoken by the devil under duress, forced by the Lord Jesus," the exorcist explains in the book Exorcists Against Satan: Face To Face With the Devil.
Since it was released in Italian bookstores on Tuesday, the book by Fabio Marchese Ragona, a Vatican journalist for Mediaset (a television empire owned by Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi), has become a bestseller on Amazon.it.
The book features a thus-far unpublished interview with Francis, who admits that he has never conducted an exorcism as pope but that if he were to encounter a victim of possession, he "would ask for the support of a good exorcist, as I already did when I was archbishop."

Must be afraid of the competition...
Satan is a liar.
I thought they were working hand in hand.
What a load of crap!
Because Francis was once a bouncer at a titty bar?
You nailed it.
Not too many folks go gunning for Satan’s job.
Agreed. Satan is the great deceiver. Deception is his greatest tool. If Satan says that he fears any mortal man then we can assume he does not and that man is his ally.
Satan will welcome that Marxist Pope to He** with open arms.
And demons never lie.
What a bunch of crap.
The only thing Satan worries about Francis is that he might be fudging on his timecard.
Francis is Satan’s bitch.
Why? because he wants his job.
Sounds like an April Fool’s joke
Why would Satan fear one of his subordinates?
Unless he thinks that subordinate is a F-up.
😂
Men have no power over a demon or the devil. It is all God. 100%. By His mercy alone are we saved.
