‘And [Jesus] asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.’ (Mark 5:9)
One need not be a trained exorcist to recognize all around us that today’s world is experiencing a surge in occult and Satanic practices.
But the men who actually are the top exorcists in the Catholic Church have gone up to Pope Leo XIV with a single plea: reinforce their numbers.
Leo received representatives of the International Association of Exorcists (AIE) in a private audience on Friday, March 13 – perhaps not the most auspicious day.
The AIE heads presented the Holy Father with a report on the growing number of cases related to occultism, esotericism, and Satanism.
The report also examines the spiritual consequences this has for many people.
