Pope Urged to Strengthen Exorcist Support

0:00On March 25, a group of exorcist priests met with the Pope recently to push for better support against spiritual threats. They called on him to make sure every diocese worldwide has at least one fully trained exorcist on hand. The priests also asked for more widespread training across the church. That includes adding lessons to seminary programs, special sessions for new bishops, and straightforward rules for dealing with tough spiritual cases. Father Francesco Bomonte, a leader in the group, warned that ignoring these issues leads believers struggling without real help. It could push people toward dangerous fake solutions instead of solid church guidance rooted in Scripture. The Pope shared fond memories of his old friend Father Gabrielle Morth, who started the International Exorcist Association years ago. The group presented him with a new book on exorcism guidelines and a holy image of Saint Michael the Archangel. This push highlights growing church focus on spiritual warfare, aiming to equip priests everywhere for the battles ahead.
