Many current movies feature dramatic portrayals of spiritual warfare and exorcism. But how accurate are these special effects-laden Hollywood extravaganzas? Is demonic possession for real? Are believers today really in any danger from Satan and his crafty minions? What is the truth concerning exorcism? Click here to see a sample of the interview.

In this captivating DVD or book, you'll discover how Fr. Jose Antonio Fortea, preparing to seek his doctorate in Church history was compelled by his bishop to pursue the world's first PhD in exorcism. And you'll be absolutely amazed at what he learned. Fr. Fortea was given unrestricted access to many secret and sealed documents (he spent a month in the Library of Congress, alone!), but that was only the beginning. For years Fr. Fortea traveled the world consulting with exorcists, documenting their experiences, investigating cases of suspected demonic possession and actually attending countless exorcisms. Because of his unprecedented access to the Church's ministry of deliverance, what most exorcists may see once in the whole life of their ministry Fr. Fortea has seen many times. With disarming humility and good humor the unassuming Spanish priest catalogues a dizzying array of strange phenomenon including clairvoyance, speaking unknown languages, superhuman strength and even levitation!

In this powerful book, An Exorcist Tells His Story, Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the renowned chief exorcist of Rome, tells of his many experiences in his ministry as an exorcist doing battle with Satan to relieve the great suffering of many people in the grip of evil. The importance of this ministry to “expel demons” is clearly seen from the Gospels, from the actions of the Apostles, and from Church history. Click here to read an excerpt.

In this rare and exciting account, Father Amorth allows us to witness the activities of the exorcist, and experience what an exorcist sees and does. He shows how real and powerful the devil is and how his wicked and evil influence is so prevalent today in many people’s lives. He also reveals how modern science, psychology and medicine can do little to help those under Satan’s influence and that only the power of Christ can release them from their mental, spiritual or physical suffering.

The Rite - The Making of a Modern Exorcist The Rite - The Making of a Modern Exorcist

In The Rite, journalist Matt Baglio uses the astonishing story of one American priest's training as an exorcist to reveal that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a fearsome power in many people's lives even today.

Father Gary Thomas was working as a parish priest in California when he was asked by his bishop to travel to Rome for training in the rite of exorcism. Though initially surprised, and slightly reluctant, he accepted this call, and enrolled in a new exorcism course at a Vatican-affiliated university, which taught him, among other things, how to distinguish between a genuine possession and mental illness. Eventually he would go on to participate in more than eighty exorcisms as an apprentice to a veteran Italian exorcist.

The Rite provides fascinating vignettes from the lives of exorcists and people possessed by demons, including firsthand accounts of exorcists at work casting out demons, culminating in Father Gary's own confrontations with the Devil. Baglio also traces the history of exorcism, revealing its rites and rituals, explaining what the Catholic Church really teaches about demonic possession, and delving into such related topics as the hierarchy of angels and demons, satanic cults, black masses, curses, and the various theories used by modern scientists and anthropologists who seek to quantify such phenomena. Written with an investigative eye that will captivate both skeptics and believers alike, The Rite shows that the truth about demonic possession is not only stranger than fiction, but also far more chilling.
