The End of Exorcism

and the triumph of satanism!The Illuminati understood that it would be far more effective to infiltrate and subvert the church than to try to destroy it by frontal attack. They have applied this strategy successfully to all important social institutions.

The year 1962 saw the opening of the Roman Catholic Second Vatican Council. The Council drew to a close on December 8, 1965.
In 1963, I was in the seventh grade at our
local parochial school where my pastor was in charge of our Catechism class. During
the Council, he kept us up to date on what was being decided by the Council.
One
very important detail remains imprinted in my memory to this day. Father told
us the Council had decided that seminarians would no longer be taught the Rite
of Exorcism which was, up to this time, a sacramental of the Church.
He said
the decision arose from that the new belief that the "Church no longer
believed that Satan was an evil entity, but that evil came from the heart of
man."
I, a normally shy thirteen-year-old, raised my hand in objection:
"But Father, if the Church is going to teach that Satan is non-existent,
isn't it logical that people will believe God doesn't exist
either?" It seemed I offended my pastor's sensibilities with the
logical conclusion of a child.
The end of the Second Vatican Council saw the New Rite of Exorcism substituted
for the Old Roman Ritual.
In the past, according to Scripture and Tradition,
ONLY a validly ordained priest whose valid ordination came by way of historical
Apostolic Succession in either the Roman Catholic or Orthodox Churches
could successfully free the truly possessed victim.
Today, the lines are
blurred. Current ambiguities concerning the New Rite give the impression that
anyone in the laity has the authority to carry out an exorcism. Fr. Gabriele Amorth,
the Chief Exorcist in Rome and the world's most famous exorcist, has
added to the confusion with statements like, "In severe cases, the Church
should immediately be consulted; the stole of the priest is a tremendous
protection. Without it, there can be danger. But that doesn't exclude the laity
from active spiritual deliverance."

Question. How does a lay person identify what is and is not a severe case
without risk to the victim or themselves?
The Psychiatrist Morgan Scott Peck (23 May 1936 - 25 September 2005) also
doubted the real entity of Satan. He realized later he had erred.According to Wikipedia,
"Eventually after having been referred several possible cases of
possession and being involved in two exorcisms, he was converted to a belief in
the existence of Satan. Peck considered people who are possessed as being
victims of evil, not evil themselves. Peck however considered possession to be
rare, and human evil common."
He also saw Narcissism (Pride) linked to the
pathology. The afflicted individual was required to go through a battery of
physical and psychological evaluations by licensed professionals prior to
consideration for performance of the Rite.

EXORCISM, THEN AND NOW
Traditionally, exorcists
were assigned by the Local Ordinary, the Bishop of the Diocese. The choice was
carefully based on the priest's piety and ability to stay focused.
The level of
concentration needed is akin to that of an engineer. His identity and duties
have always been kept secret so as to safeguard the priest's virtue of humility.
The Demon's weakness rests in the sin of Pride, which is also used most
effectively to destroy all faith in God. The exorcist is usually accompanied by
an assistant priest who also prays, records the session and / or takes notes. The
assistant priest is also there to assist aid the primary exorcist should the
latter experience any problems.
The new breed of Exorcist has become more of a self-aggrandizing public celebrity,
defying all that was formerly understood surrounding the Rite.
A prolific author on the subject, he often gives interviews posing for photographs, which can be, considered nothing less than narcissistic. Priests like this turn the traditional solemn and private rite into a three-ring circus.
Fr Amorth does not
consider pedophile
clergy to be possessed. But the exposure of the Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, negates
this expert theory.
As one writer pointed out, "The phenomena are both spiritual and
psychological. How to keep narcissists out of positions of authority? I wish
there were an easy answer; but conditions in the church, chiefly clericalism,
both attracted and enabled narcissists and psychopaths.
The case of Fr. Maciel is probably one of
the most disturbing in the history of the Church." http://www.podles.org/
Ironically, it is the
priests of this diabolical religious
order, once headed by Fr. Marciel, who now host the Vatican's
new course on Satanism and Exorcism!
This course is taught
once or twice each year at
the Pontifical Academy Regina Apostolorum operated by the Legionaries of Christ!
Is there any reason to wonder why the internet has been set afire with articles
and commentaries specific to Fr. Thomas Eutenuer and Fr. John Corapi, arguing
the alleged sinfulness or sanctity of this new breed of "Rock Star"
priest? It appears the average person is desperate for answers.

Ken said (April 9, 2011):
Henry, I would like to comment on the article on exorcism. Shortly after I became a Christian, I had a friend who every time I was around him what came from him was torments to my soul. He wasn’t doing or saying anything particular. I didn’t know how to handle this. I took my problem to a trusted Christian brother, who, with his wife, has a deliverance ministry. What he gave me was Luke 10:17-20:
17And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
The next time I saw him, the pain and torment of my soul began without him saying anything. But what I found was that as I internally quoted the above scripture, that pain turned away. That’s when I realized it was a demon who was using that friend to get at me. Since that time I have encountered many such incidents when a demonic accompanying a person or persons without their knowledge attempt the same kind of attack that is manifested in pain and torment of the soul. Never once has that scripture ever failed me along with many others I have since learned to employ.
You don’t have to have a Catholic Priest to do exorcism or as Protestants call it, deliverance. Jesus came to make all whosoever will kings and priests, Rev. 1:6, giving us The Holy Spirit and all the promises in all the scriptures available to everyone who is saved under the blood of Jesus. Power to trample on serpents and scorpions is this: serpents in the Bible are tempters such as accompany Luciferians or people subject to Luciferian temptations of deception or who Luciferian spirits are targeting; scorpions are agents of death such as accompany Satanists or people subject to sadistic and or Satanic behavior or who Satan spirits are targeting. These demons and fallen angels attach themselves to and use any people they can, most often those people aren’t even aware of the presence of such entities.
As I understand it, according to Malachi Martin, certain Jesuits in the Vatican, right before Vatican II, held a Satanic ritual inviting Lucifer to come and be god of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church. Could this have something to do with the Roman Catholic hierarchy continually marginalizing this ministry in the RCC?
