About this sermon
An international Catholic organization that provides support and training for exorcists is expressing concern over how some exorcisms are being administered. The International Association of Exorcists has named 9 practices to avoid when fighting the devil, saying some of these "do not correspond to the authentic work of Christ". The tactics to avoid include focusing on the work of the devil and not on the Gospel, excluding medical and psychological sciences and trying to heal previous generations. Author of "Diary of an American Exorcist" and Research Associate Professor in Pastoral Studies at the Catholic University of America, Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, joins to share his thoughts on these new guidelines and what prompted their release. Of these 9 practices to avoid, Monsignor Rossetti tells us whether any of them apply to the lay faithful or whether most or all of them are directed towards exorcists. He discusses how widespread these 9 practices are and what the reaction has been since the text was released. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
