El Jefe de los Exorcistas dice que el demonio se ha colado en el Vaticano

El padre Gabriele Amorth ha trabajado durante 25 años como Exortizador Jefe de demonios. Ha visto más de 70.000 casos de posesión demoníaca. Dice que el espítitu del maligno se ha colado también en lo pasillos del Vaticano, y que éste se manifiesta en forma de las blasfemias que pronuncia o las angustias que sufre la persona poseída. El diablo puede hablar diferentes lenguas, transformarse, y "en ocasiones hasta puede resultar divertido".

Los casos de pedofilia en la Iglesia serían una de las más terribles manifestaciones del demonio.

Father Gabriele Amorth, 85, who has been the Vatican's chief exorcist for 25 years and says he has dealt with 70,000 cases of demonic possession, said that the consequences of satanic infiltration included power struggles at the Vatican as well as "cardinals who do not believe in Jesus, and bishops who are linked to the Demon".

He added: "When one speaks of 'the smoke of Satan' [a phrase coined by Pope Paul VI in 1972] in the holy rooms, it is all true – including these latest stories of violence and paedophilia."

Father Amorth told La Repubblica that the devil was "pure spirit, invisible. But he manifests himself with blasphemies and afflictions in the person he possesses. He can
remain hidden, or speak in different languages, transform himself or appear to be agreeable. At times he makes fun of me."
