The Devil in Disguise: Demonic Dealings at the Vatican?
According to a recent statement by Father Gabriele Amorth, chief exorcist at the Vatican, “The Devil resides in the Vatican and you can see the consequences.” Using his powers of evil to shape shift, disappear, speak in different foreign languages, “or even appear to be sympathetic,” Father Amorth says the Prince of Darkness works constantly to undermine his holy efforts, but still claims to be “a man who is happy in his work.”
An interview the priest gave to news source La Repubblica was recently picked up by European news sources like The Telegraph, in which Amorth describes William Peter Blaty’s 1973 film The Exorcist as a “substantially exact” representation of demonic possession, though a few circumstances pertaining to exorcisms he has performed in the past may actually be more startling than those witnessed on film.
