Gabriele Amorth an Exorcist for Rome!
The Exorcist, Exorcist, The Pope's Exorcist, books, more movies, demonic possession, documentaries, demons, demonic children, priests, the Catholic church, so many things come to mind when we hear the words The Exorcist...but what of it, right, is it real, does it happen, do demons exists?
In this episode we wander through the world of Gabriele Amorth, a Catholic Priest who was an Exorcist for the Vatican, who has written over 30 books, and Russell Crowe portrays him in a movie titled: The Pope's Exorcist.
This episode will take you on a journey through some twisted minds of religion, faith, and non-religious views from different perspectives. How does society handle Exorcisms, how has history handled it, what has history told us, and does the church still practice them today?
For an interesting trip to one of our earlier episodes, go back and listen to our episode on the possession and death of Emily Rose...it helps set the stage for this one.
Do you believe in demonic possession? Do you believe social workers and police officers should aid in the practice of exorcisms...that is a question that remains to be answered.
Hope you enjoy the show today...it was an interesting an sometimes difficult topic to tackle...lots of controversy!
