This guy isn't just an exorcist. No, he's a "noted" exorcist according to the Catholic News Agency. And, he's figured out that the devil is controlling the media coverage of the Pope and the child rape scandal. The devil also caused priests to rape kids, too. Apparently, none of this is the fault of Benedict, the church's leaders or the abusive priests:
Noted Italian exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, commented this week that the recent defamatory reporting on Pope Benedict XVI, especially by the New York Times, was “prompted by the devil.”Yep, the devil. All Satan's fault. The Church is absolved.
Speaking to News Mediaset in Italy, the 85-year-old exorcist noted that the devil is behind “the recent attacks on Pope Benedict XVI regarding some pedophilia cases.”
“There is no doubt about it. Because he is a marvelous Pope and worthy successor to John Paul II, it is clear that the devil wants to ‘grab hold’ of him.”
Father Amorth added that in instances of sexual abuse committed by some members of the clergy, the devil “uses” priests in order to cast blame upon the entire Church: “The devil wants the death of the Church because she is the mother of all the saints.”
