ITS WORKING PEOPLE! KEEP OF THE GOOD WORK!
THE CHURCH IS SLOWLYBUT SURELY UNRAVELING...
Vatican Satanic Panic
Father Gabriele Amorth, an Italian priest noted as an exorcist, has published a
book-length interview entitled (in Italian) Memoirs of an Exorcist. It's
typically lurid fare, and of course Italian media are lapping it up. Getting
most attention is Amorth's claim that there are "Satanic cults" operating inside
the Vatican, involving priests, monsignors, and cardinals. Panorama quotes him:
Anche in Vaticano ci sono membri di sette sataniche. Sono preti, monsignori e
anche cardinali.
We're also regaled with tales of paranormal phenomena including Elvis
Presley's spirit guide:
Il sacerdote descrive inoltre case infestate di spiriti, indemoniati che
«lievitano» sotto i suoi occhi, messe nere, vergini violentate, talismani e
feticci che evocano presenze demoniache. Ma ricorda anche spiriti guida, come
quello di Elvis Presley che ha visto trasferirsi su un pranoterapeuta, oppure
anime dannate che spingono giovani adolescenti al suicidio.
Amorth is not the first priest to allege Satanism inside the Vatican - although,
as with the others, actual evidence is not provided. In the 1990s Archbishop
Emmanuel Milingo made the same allegation, and Amorth is described by Panorama
as his friend. John Cornwall's book Powers of Darkness, Powers of Light featured
an interview with Milingo:
Now Satanism is at its strongest throughout the world. These are the years of
the Devil. Black Masses, and blaspheming God, and Judas priests. Before he died
Pope Paul VI knew what he had done [post-Vatican II]. He knew it! He had let
Satan free within the Church. He said he could smell the stench of smoke around
the sanctuary. He said the truth!
Milingo, of course has since married a Korean member of the Unification Church
and formed an alliance with Rev Sun Myung Moon to develop a schismatic church
for married priests; it seems that he also now accepts Unification Church
theology. Amorth explains his friend's fall from grace as due to temptations
sent by the devil.
And before Milingo, there was the late Malachi Martin. This 1990 quote has been
posted widely on-line:
Most frighteningly for John Paul [II], he had come up against the irremovable
presence of a malign strength in his own Vatican and in certain bishops'
chanceries. It was what knowledgeable Churchmen called the 'superforce.' Rumors,
always difficult to verify, tied its installation to the beginning of Pope Paul
VI's reign in 1963. Indeed Paul had alluded somberly to `the smoke of Satan
which has entered the Sanctuary'. . . an oblique reference to an enthronement
ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican. Besides, the incidence of Satanic
pedophilia rites and practices was already documented among certain bishops
and priests as widely dispersed as Turin, in Italy, and South Carolina, in the
United States. The cultic acts of Satanic pedophilia are considered by
professionals to be the culmination of the Fallen Archangel's rites.
This revelation just happened to coincide both with the evangelical-inspired
hysteria over Satanic Ritual Abuse, and with increasing public awareness of the
reality of catholic priests who were child abusers.
Amorth, Milingo, and Martin have all been moved to feverish excitement by a
quote attributed to Pope Paul VI in 1972 (see here for the original; H/T this
site), in which the Pope warns darkly of the "Smoke of Satan". It seems he was
referring to liturgical reforms of which he disapproved; the idea that he was
making an oblique reference to Satanic cults defies common sense. If the Pope
believed such a thing was going on, why didn't he do more to put an end to it?
Or, if he wanted it covered up, why make his statement at all? How could such
things still be going on forty years later, and still no evidence has come to
light?
In 2006, Amorth purported to have discerned "the signature of the Prince of
Darkness" in Harry Potter:
By reading Harry Potter a young child will be drawn into magic and from there it
is a simple step to Satanism and the Devil.
