Satan Is Afraid of Francis, Says Exorcist in Bestseller

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The book features a thus-far unpublished interview with Francis, who admits that he has never conducted an exorcism as pope but that if he were to encounter a victim of possession, he "would ask for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."

So, Satan is afraid that Francis is going to take his (its?) job?

Because Francis was once a bouncer at a titty bar?

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.

What a bunch of crap.

The only thing Satan worries about Francis is that he might be fudging on his timecard.

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.
