Rome priests get exorcism lessons

A two-month course is being offered at the university
A Vatican-backed college is launching a new course for exorcists - Roman Catholic priests who cast out evil spirits from the possessed.
Lessons at the prestigious Athenaeum Pontificium Regina Apostolorum will include the history of Satanism and its context in the Bible.
Practical lessons in psychology and the law will also feature.
Concern is high in Italy about the influence of Satanic cults - especially among the young and impressionable.
And there will also be seminars at the Athenaeum, or Upra as it is known, on the spiritual, liturgical and pastoral work involved in being an exorcist.
The ideal exorcist
Father Giulio Savoldi has been Milan's official exorcist for more than 20 years.
He did not have the benefit of training but is in no doubt about what he would include in any course for candidates to take on the task of fighting evil in the raw - and the qualities needed of any would-be exorcist.
"I would include the supernatural force - the presence of God - and then suggest that the man picked to do this kind of work be wise and that he should know how to gather strength not just from within himself but from God," he says.
"Because each case of possession is different, each person possessed is different. Those studying to become exorcists should also study psychology and know how to distinguish between a mental illness and a possession.
"And - finally - they need to be very patient."
Next week - in a case that has captured the public imagination - a court outside Milan is due to consider murder charges against a group of young people accused of killing two teenagers as part of a Satanic rite.
For Father Savoldi, the case just confirms his belief in the power of evil to make the most of human weakness.

Romes chief excorcist warns parents against Harry Potter
Rome's official exorcist, Fr Gabriele Amorth, has warned parents against J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter books, suggesting that Satan is behind the works.
Fr Amorth, who is also the president of the International Association of Exorcists, told the Italian ANSA news agency, Rev. Amorth said "Behind Harry Potter hides the signature of the king of the darkness, the devil."
He said that Rowlings books contain innumerable positive references to magic, "the satanic art". Amorth noted that the books attempt to make a false distinction between black and white magic, when in fact, the distinction "does not exist, because magic is always a turn to the devil."
In the interview which was published in papers across Europe, Fr Amorth also criticised the disordered morality presented in Rowling's works, noting that they suggest that rules can be contravened and lying is justified when they work to one's benefit.

Las Vegas, March 14th, 2005 - Following the National Catholic Reporter’s report on the Vatican’s requesting Condoleeza Rice to intervene and dismiss a U.S. class-action lawsuit naming the Holy See as the defendant in a sex abuse case*, the International Raelian Movement (www.rael.org) and thousands of victims worldwide plead for the world to see this deceitful, sleazy act for what it is – an attempt to escape from justice.
Why were these people concerned for a dying pontiff?
Was there no faith that he would go to Heaven, and be cured there?
Is this not in the Catholic Religions teachings?
If over 4 Million people from all over the World came to see the deceased pope, and on a conservative estimate if they each spent $100.00 for their Pilgrimage. This would then equal $400 Million that could have saved the lives of thousands of starving and sick children around the World. The ex Pope could then have still lived on in your fond memories, and you would have done something more positive than just looking at a deceased 84 year old body...
