Under Pope Francis, Exorcism & Demonic Possession Become Mainstream

Post by Riddick » 01-04-2019 01:35 AM

Exorcism and demonic possession have enjoyed a kind of renaissance in modern-day Catholicism. More and more Catholics report seeking exorcisms, and as the BBC reported last year, 250 priests from 50 countries traveled to Rome for exorcist training.

Francis is encouraging this: in 2017, the pope told priests that “they must not hesitate” to refer their parishioners to exorcists if they experience “genuine spiritual disturbances."

In the recent past, examples of demonic possession in everyday life have included yoga, Harry Potter and gay marriage, according to one prominent exorcist. And according to an item published in the National Catholic Register last month, gender-neutral clothing and Celine Dion also qualify for the list of demonic “genuine disturbances.”

How much of this should you—or anyone, non-Catholic or otherwise—take seriously? That’s up to you, but it appears that satan and exorcism are now a part of our secular culture wars.

Exorcism and Demonic Possession Are Now Tools in the Culture Wars

Just more of the same of the same........The re-wireing of the human race, into "Well Mannored (in their view) Human Bots" . I see humans being washed free of their own humanity and uniqueness, and turned into Machines. Perhaps, one day a Machine(Robot) will be able to re-teach humans to be "Humans" again? :shock: :confused:
