The Combat of an Exorcist Today -- What the Devil Must Disclose

(Rome) An exorcist is at the forefront in the fight against the devil. One of them is Father Francesco Bamonte. He is an exorcist of the diocese of the Pope. "A typical behavior of the devil during the exorcism is to often talk about destruction and annihilation. All that is beautiful, good, healthy, pure, harmonious is mocked and threatened with extinction and destruction," says the exorcist. Particularly striking was the hatred of the devil against the sacrament of marriage, family ties and affection. "He reacts very violently when one blesses the marriage of two married people or if they are invited to renew their wedding vows," says Father Bamonte. 
Francesco Bamonte belongs to the young Order of the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at (ICMS) founded in 1991. The Cordis Mariae immaculati Servi are an Order of diocesan right. Born in 1960, Father Bamote was ordained a priest in 1990. Since 2012 he has been Chairman of the Italian Association of Exorcists . 
Immediately after his ordination to the Order, he turned to especially the Sacrament of Penance and in this regard to help  the victims of occult practices. In 1997 he became a member of the International Association of Exorcists. Since 2005 he is a lecturer at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University in Rome, where he directs the course on Exorcism and Deliverance PrayerAt the request of the bishops of various Italian and foreign dioceses, he instructs seminarians on the subject of occultism and exorcism and their consequent pastoral issues. He also supports priests who are appointed as exorcists in their diocese by the bishop. 

Father Bamontes Books: How to Recognize the Father of Lies

In 2000 he published the first book about his experiences as an exorcist:  "What to do with Wizards? How to Free Yourself of the Superstition and Protect Against Fraud " (Cosa fare con questi maghi?); followed in 2004 by the book "Harmful Spiritualism. The Occult Work of the Evil in the Alleged Contacts with the Hereafter " (I danni dello spiritismo), and in 2006 the volume: "Demonic Possession and Exorcism. How to Recognize the Cunning Deceiver ";  in 2008: "The Fallen Angels. The Mystery of Evil in the Experience of an Exorcist ."  His most recent book was published in 2010 under the title: "The Virgin Mary and the Devil in Exorcism."
At the annual meeting in 2013, the Italian exorcist Father Bamonte gave a remarkable speech. He said: "A repeating in  feature in exorcisms is the insistent demand of the demon, that men ought to worship him as if he were God. The demon who will not accept his creatureness, dangles himself pretending to be God, and he is greedily keen that people offer to him a cult  which belongs to God alone. During the exorcism, he often says, 'Pray to me, pray to me, I am God, I am God! Kneel down, when my name is called. I am all-powerful! Call me! ' On these statements I reply, with No. 20 of the Roman Ritual (titulus XII "De exorcizandis obsessis a doemonio") which recommends  the words of Jesus in the desert and  the words of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippians.

The Devil Wants to be Worshiped: "I am God!"

Another essential feature in the behavior of the demon during the exorcism, is that it is  particularly common to speak of "destruction and destruction." Everything that is "good, beautiful, healthy, pure, harmonious" is covered with derision by the demon. He threatens to destroy everything. The special hatred of the demonic forces applies to the sacrament of marriage and the family. The priest tells of an exorcism in which the demon said to him: "I do not like the way the women are dressed. You must undress them even more so their sex is more prevalent and I can destroy more families!" With other exorcisms, the demon spoke in a very metaphorical way of the sex organs as "center of the world".  The devil responds with "rage," if the marriage of a couple is blessed or the engagement of young people who want to be chaste until marriage. The devil cursed such decisions for purity and chastity as "filth" says Father Bamonte.

"I Try to Eat the Children" - Abortion and Sexual Seduction

An outstanding feature of the "personality" of the devil is his "abysmal hatred". He "enjoys the evil in whatever form it occurs." In one exorcism, he cried: "Take this heinous book of the Apocalypse. It is written about a woman who gives birth. I always try to eat the children. Do you know how?" Then the devil described with frightening words, the daily mass murder of thousands of unborn children who are killed by abortion in the womb. He also illustrated in all details, the heinous sexual abuse of children. He always added in his appalling statements a horrible: "How much I enjoy that!" after, says Father Bamonte. He also said  that when he was talking about how young people destroy themselves through drug use or about Islamic suicide bombers who blow themselves up in the air.

The Perverts and Scoffers: "Come Unto Me, All Ye That are Funny and Perverted"

"It is shocking, how  he twists everything  and turns it upside down in which he turns evil into good and good into evil. When I held out to him a relic, he shouted: 'What a stench. Which is how he sees Him. With Him, he means Jesus Christ, whose name he never pronounces out of contempt and hatred. When I showed him a rosary, he said, 'accursed chain with the cross at the end '.  When I sprinkled it with holy water, the possessed, the devil, protested angrily, 'I will not be washed out by this water, that stinks and burns'. When I spoke the words over  a possessed, 'Bless Lord this brother the devil snarled immediately, 'he shall be damned, I'll take him to hell!'  In the words of the Gospel: all Come to me, ye that labor and have to carry heavy loads. I will give you refreshment,' he cried, 'no, all comes to me, you who labor and have to carry heavy loads. I will give you refreshment! '"
The Exorcist continued: "When I came to the  words , inimìce fidei, hostis, umani generis, adducto mortis'  in the course of an exoricism,  the demon gave his entire devotion to evil and for evil to be recognized: The power of sin will be our altar on which we will sacrifice the souls of your damn sons and daughters on this altar, we will shed the blood of your damn sons and daughters. There is a god for those who hate, and that god is my god. '"

"The Hatred of People Nourishes Me"

The devil shows his true colors during the exorcisms. He must be seen to reveal himself as he is, as the one who constantly to divide people against each other and tries  to incite them. He enjoys the hatred between people and craves human malignancy, "This is food that nourishes and strengthens me," he had replied once, said Father Bamonte.
"Many times," says the exorcist, "I have heard the demon in perfect agreement with the Church's teaching that evil is a free decision of a man. He also had to admit that he can not do anything against the will of man, if it opposes the grace that  supports him. Therefore, he is,  as he clearly explains again and again, the great tempter who wants to tempt people always anew: Our duty is to tempt, always, anyone, anywhere and under any circumstances. Some get caught up in our net, some forever! "

The Power of Prayer and the Sacred Liturgy

The Exorcism proves the immediate potency of prayer, says the exorcist of the Diocese of Rome. "The exorcism is a liturgical action and thus a prayer of the Church. The Exorcist does nothing on his own behalf, but everything is in the name of Jesus Christ and the Church. When we see how much this rite disturbs the devil and the demons and defeats him, then we become aware of all the other liturgical actions of the Church and prayer and the grace they obtain as more powerful. That must really encourage us to pray, to make use of the Sacraments ad to visit Holy Mass.

In an exorcism, the demon had to admit, "apparently forced by God" and say, "If you people live on your knees before Him and worship Him and would sing His praise, as do the angels, we would not have all the power, which you give to us about you. "

Those in "the pope's diocese" must keep him very busy.

Well, I hope he does not try to offer the TLM or the Holy Father will have to appoint a commissar to keep him in line.

Where can we get hold of English editions of the Fr Bamontes books on the devil and exorcism?

Tancred said...

Great question. I looked on Amazon and can't find anything.

Elizabeth said...

I wonder if he uses the traditional Rite of Exorcism as it had been used for hundreds of years up until the late 1990s, or if he uses the new-and-improved, bare-bones Prayers of Exorcism. God bless and protect him.

He uses the traditional Rite. The Roman exorcists insist it is more efficacious.

Elizabeth said...

Wonderful to hear.

This is an excellent article. He is spot on. Remember Satan knows the bible and God, and he is as old as time so he knows all the tricks of his trade. His goal is to take as many souls from God as possible, we humans are his prize. Hell will not be fun. These things that help me to keep "Satan" and his army at bay. A pure heart and soul. That means Reconciliation on a monthly basis. Daily mass the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet. Attending Adoration of the Blessed sacrament weekly. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen said Adoration before the blessed Sacrament was "his hour of power". Use sacramentals (blessed salt, holy water and the Rosary). Also read the scripture of the day with your family. If these seem like a lot to do just start with one thing at a time, God will help you with the rest. "God governs the world, but prayer governs God".

I found most of his books on Amazon, but they are all in Italian. It would be a great service to have them translated into English since very few can read Italian.

I pray that God will protect all of the exorcists. It seems that evil has been running rampant in this day and age. I will add the exorcists to my prayers.
May God bless them all !

Excellent, esp. the last part for God does govern the world, and prayer governs God.

very true, daily mass and Rosary, adoration and sacraments make a person on a path to holiness.

Satan grows strong through human enmity and divisions. He has a fertile field to work in where most traditionalists are concerned. I am sure this is something Pope Francis has learned in his travels. We saw a graphic demonstration of this in Buenos Aires lately, and SSPX is a veritable stockyard of hatred.

Tancred said...

How is it a stockyard of hatred?

Patty said...

Good question, Tancred, but one that won't be answered because it cannot be without the discussion of important truths, not gone, oh no, but duly placed under the rug. So while Satan loves division, he also enjoys secrecy and the masking of Truth.

Tancred said...

I'm guessing John won't be returning.

I can attest through personnel experience that Satan is real & does attack those on the path to holiness. When me & my wife went to renew our wedding vows it nearly did not happen. I was attacked as was my wife.

Anonymous said...

Lord, can we find an exorcist for the White House?

Anonymous said...

the priest could have a lot of work there because evil is everywhere, especially in sacred places because satan wants to destroy everythind good and pure, that is the reason he attacks children and babies with rapes and sexual abuse, and even he attacks young people with sex. As you see there are only few young people who still being virgin for Good and before marriage for their future husband or wife.

Let us all pray for ourselves and for ALL the exorcists all over the world.
The fight of evil against good has intensified and we Catholics must pray more fervently (triple our prayers if necessary), ask the Holy Spirit to guide us, let us go to Holy Mass as often as we can, and if we can't at least watch or listen to the Mass live the internet, and receive the Sacraments as often as possible to aid us in this war.

I would like to add one more thing have Holy Water and bless yourself often and when you pray lit a blessed candle they are sacramentals and it will remind us of the light of Christ.

The signs are all around us and not all are going to see them, so we must pray that we are counted among those who can see them so we can help those who might need to get closer to Christ.

Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us and hide us within Your Holy Wounds.
Mary Mother of grace, Mother of mercy, shield us from the enemy and receive us at the hour of our death.

Anonymous, this was a great article and your comment kind of ruined it for me. Did your read anything that the demon was saying about destruction and division of families? The church is a family. How could you turn this edifying article into a moment to be snarky?

Tancred said...

Such is the diabolical animus delendi of these people, I'm afraid.

Exorcists need our prayers. If you want to help, see the prayers of Auxilium Christianorum at http://www.auxiliumchristianorum.org/. These prayers are especially efficacious for heads of families, for protection and growth in holiness.

In Tanzania,The Blessed Virgin Mary chose Rev. Fr. Felician Nkwera in 1969 and Dinah Ntandu in 1985, to pray for people she will be sending to them,so that through their prayers, God will help them.This ministry is open to everyone but has Roman Catholic prayers and services .Priests come from outside the country to say mass for the people since the local priests are afraid of their bishops who lord it over them like managers, ..Exorcism takes place.The Catholic Church authority in Tanzania told Fr. Nkwera to stop praying for people.He told them that this is a directive from Our Lady.The church authorities took away his faculties in 1990 since they say that Fr. Nkwera has made Our Lady his bishop.Fr nkwera advices his followers to kneel and receive communion on the tongue.The church authorities in Tanzania for many years banned people from kneeling to receive communion because they accuse such communicants as being a follower of Fr. Nkwera.One can see that the devil is fighting back against genuine exorcists.
Vatican directive that communicants can stand or kneel is now left to local diocese to decide which form to adopt.People from neighbouring counties go to Fr. Nkwera for prayers.and you can see the effect of prayers on possessed people in a continent where aibinos are killed for rituals and witchcraft thrives;yet the church does nothing to help.Hence Pentecostals now takes over to pray for peoples needs.Where is the Papal Nuncio ?Is this an extension of the cover up of ecclesiastical freemasonary?Exorcism should be taught in seminaries now that the devil is VERY ACTIVE !Can Fr. Francesco Bamonte assist Africa !Africa lost it's exorcist,Bishop Milingo when he was frustrated and he left to join the Moonies. That was the devil striking back !Exorcists sure do need prayers

How can it be that "prayer governs God"? No one and nothing governs God but God Himself. He alone governs all, including prayer. That is not to say he takes away our free will, but we don't govern
God by our prayers.

I hope you holy people will please pray for me and my family. I was sexually abused as a very young child and have never healed. My family has never recovered from this evil. Thank you and blessings to all of you and this brave young priest.

I have assisted in exorcisms and what I found prevalent is in the homes there was a Budist statue These are Catholics who have some how had a Budist statue In their home. Once the devil spirit is exercised from the person they immediately destroyed the statue and got rid of it. Then the Priest has to exorcise the house and then bless the house! It's a lot of work, fortitude and praying very hard!

anonymous said...

Pray daily getting up at 3am to do it as this is the time the evil acts are very active
pray the precious blood of Jesus devotion, Divine Mercy prayers, full set of the 4 mysteries, week confession and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and daily mass. Seek the aid of Mother Mary and all prayers from saints, esp. St. Padre Pio, St. Teresa, etc. John Paul II etc.Pray esp. also for souls in purgatory and enlist their help to pray for us and for the release o all entrapped by the evil ones. pray for ALL priests, all religious and all combatants/hidden prayer warriors that they get spiritual strength and encouragement in their calling etc.

Not only do they say that it is more efficacious, but that the new rite simply is impotent. I believe I read that in Fr. Gabriele Amroth's works.

I don't know about this "reconciliation" jazz but you should go to Confession aka the Sacrament of Penance.

Stay away form the "Divine Mercy" devotions. It was condemed by the Holy Office under both Pius XII and John XXIII.

My friend needs help! She is sensitive and has been seeing disturbing images in her house. Her knee has been "tapped" enough to wake her at night. She is terrified. There have been multiple occurrences but have lately increased in intensity.
Her middle child is scared and has just starting cutting herself. Another family member woke up from sleeping and felt the urge to cut. They are catholic but embarrassed to ask a priest for help. What direction can you provide?

Tancred said...

They need to overcome their fear and talk to him, or someone in the diocese. Get holy water and blessed salt, and pray your rosary.

You know what happens to people who say they hear voices and see things- they get locked away,so why is it different for those who believe in the invisible man in the sky.?No doubt its back to exorcising witches again for having sex with this invisible Seth/Satan.I pinched myself to check it was 2014 and not the dark ages I am reading this in.

I heard the Divine Mercy messages were just not translated well, as the nun was illiterate or something.

Pierre said...

You need God's help, but must request it with faith. However, all you need is enough to say the following prayer : Come Jesus with your Welcoming Heart and welcome for me Almighty Powerful graces of Light, Liberation and Deliverance, because I need Peace in my mind, heart and soul. Amen

I was convinced that I was going to die and go to hell. I became deeply depressed; was sent by my parish priest to see a psychiatrist.What followed was medication and sessions of Electro convulsive therapy and more medication. I continued to go to mass and would tremble throughout mass. In 1998 I wanted to show my wife the place of my birth in Italy. I was still deeply depressed and the sound of church bells made me tremble and feel faint inside. My wife did everything. I would go into the churches and invariably end up before a statue of the Blessed Mother. Eventually ,we went to Rome and on the day prior to our trip home decided to visit St Peters. Still depressed and fearful I stepped onto the square: the instant my foot touched the ground of the square a wave of peace went through my body. Like Jesus and The Blessed Mother assuring me that "it's OK ". Now 18 yrs later I pray the Rosary daily, accept my cross more readily ,continue to go to Mass and the sacraments. It's still a struggle but the depression and anxiety have gone : and so have the antidepressants. Still learning and in tight moments remember the little picture that came into my mind of a little baby in a wicker basket. I believe it came from Jesus of Divine Mercy before whose picture I was standing when a bout of severe anxiety came upon me. Must remind myself often to persevere. Blessed be God in His angels and Saints.

In 2020,EVERY Priest + Bishop needs trad-rite conditional ordination and trad-rite Episcopal Consecration by a valid trad-rite Bishop.
Something went very wrong post 1968 in the Church and there are many many many reasons for this one being the tampering with ancient venerable
Holy Orders.
