Russell Crowe plays a man who has transcended boundaries appearing in countless interviews, writing several memoirs and participating in documentaries in which he chronicled his unusual exploits.

Is that the Italian claimed to have performed more than 70,000 exorcisms, an even more impressive number if we know that it was necessary to exclude people who believed they did not need to be exorcised. If he “purified” someone, he did it because he had no other alternative.

In the second episode of the 2004 documentary series True horror with Anthony Head titled “Demons,” says Amorth he exorcised only on one condition: that the alleged “victims” of Satan pass through a psychologist or a psychiatrist before reaching him.

In the program he clarifies that it happened to him many times when someone told him that he had the Devil inside and it was a lie or a misperception.

Gabriele Amorth has died at the age of 91.

Who was Father Amorth?

Amorth was a renowned exorcist in Rome who officiated as such from 1986 to 2000. At first he worked under the tutelage of Father Candide Amantiniwhich he replaced after his death.

In 1990 Gabriele founded the International Association of Exorcistswhich he has featured in dozens of graphic publications such as “Narratives of an Exorcist”, “An Exorcist Tells His Story” or “Exorcism and Psychiatry”.

Some of his most resonant claims had to do with his idea that Adolf Hitler acted possessed or influenced by some evil demon. He also slipped that yoga and saga book by Harry Potter They have ties to the devil.

To those who exercise the “charism of exorcism”, Amorth recommends that they be well regarded for their life of prayer, faith, acts of charity and judgment. Furthermore, he says they should rely and rely solely on God’s Word and traditional prayer, be completely detached from monetary worries, be deeply humble, and not hoard darkness.

Amorth worked as an exorcist during the pontificate of John Paul II and died in 2016 at the age of 91.
