Pope Francis Approves The Revival Of Exorcism As A canon Catholic Practice by Nobody: 9:37am On Jul 03, 2014
COMING soon to a street near you: An exorcism. It’s for real. The Pope has officially revived the medieval practice in a fresh fight against evil.

Spearheading this fight against demonic domination are 250 priests from 30 countries. Now, the International Association of Exorcists has gone mainstream.

The Vatican officially approves.

Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano reports that a Vatican governing committee has put the exorcist organisation’s constitution to the test — and found it pure.

“Exorcism is a form of charity that benefits those who suffer,” the head of the association, Reverend Francesco Bamonte, said.

His group of holy warriors are now a part of canon law.

Unlike his recent predecessors, Pope Francis has a strong focus on the personification of the Devil. Satan is regularly mentioned in speeches and presentations.

He was quite clear about the personification of evil in one of his opening speeches as Pope: “Anyone who does not pray to the Lord prays to the Devil,” he declared. grin

The Pope has even tried his own hand at exorcism: Last year he placed his hands on the head of a man said to be possessed by four demons. Exorcists say the words he uttered were part of a prayer of “liberation”.

The Vatican has denied that Pope Francis intended to perform an exorcism

“The Holy Father did not intend to perform any exorcism,” Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said in a statement, after the claims by TV 2000, which is owned by the Italian bishops’ conference.

“As he often does with sick and suffering people who are presented to him, he simply intended to pray for the suffering person,” Lombardi said.

That is a fake story and it didnot come from the vatican it somes from some reporters from the TV in Italy.
