Vatican's Exorcist Says Possessed Vomit Metal
|
Mar 11, 2010 9:11:07 PM
Inside his small third floor office at Vatican City, Father Gabriel Amorth, prepares for his next client. In the corner, a bed with restraining ropes. On the walls, pictures of the Virgin Mary. Near an armchair there is a Bible and other copies of prayers. Looking his 85 years, Father Gabriel is still dressed in his pyjamas, but his face shows signs of energy that has helped sustain him as the chief Exorcist for the Vatican during the last 25 years.
In a rare interview with the Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, Father Gabriel, stongly defends his work and that of the Association of Exoricists.
"The devil is not everywhere," he says, "but when he is present it is painful." He says he has treated over 70,000 cases.
