Fr. Amorth says Satanic influence in Vatican

I saw this article originally on St. Louis Catholic's blog(an excellent blog by the way)Saint Louis Catholic: Spanish exorcist addresses claims of Satanic influence in Vatican



Now today Drudge picked up on the story that The Times in the UK picked up today. 

Fr. Amorth has written two well written books on Exorcism, An Exorcist Tells His Story and An Exorcist, More Stories.  It's been a while since I read them, but I remember the first book being better and the second being more of a discussion of sacramental(exorcised water versus holy water) for keeping safe. Both good books but not as good as Fr. Malachi Martin's Hostage to the Devil

At any rate, I did bring Fr. Malachi Martin into the discussion.  Martin also wrote a book called Windswept House where he claims the same thing that Amorth now claims.  In the general sense, of COURSE there is Satanic influence in the Vatican.  If the devil can influence little ol' me(quite well at times) how much more would he be interested in the leaders of the Church of Christ.  But on a more specific note, Satanic worship at the Vatican, it is impossible for me to say.  Judas among the twelve certainly shows us that even an apostle who knew Christ personally can be possessed by the devil.  So to be honest, I do believe Fr. Amorth, but this is certainly not the first age to suffer this.  Satanism is not new.  Our three enemies are the world, the flesh and the devil.  And the devil has a superior intelligence and...  Well like my great grandpa would say The devil works overtime.  He never takes a holiday.

So in conclusion; always remember to brush your teeth and pray for priest!

NOTHING about Fr. Amorth's dicta surprises me--although there are Catholics out there who vigorously attempt to discredit him as a guy with a fixation.

Uh-huh. 50 years' experience counts for something.
