De Exorcismus et supplicationibus quibusdam

• Catholic

The last sentence is quite reassuring.

The Vatican published an official document in October 1998. The document had an awe-inspiring title De Exorcismus et supplicationibus quibusdam (Concerning Exorcisms and Certain Supplications). The document stipulated rules and regulations applicable to exorcism. It was written in Latin and contained 84 pages. Speaking to the press, the Vatican representative Cardinal George Arturo Medina Esteves said that the text of the ritual had been kept largely intact since 1614. Cardinal Esteves stressed the importance of the document in today's world because Satan is a reality. The existence of the Devil is not an assumption for a believer to accept or deny; the Devil is an important component of the creed and Catholic doctrine. Cardinal also promised that the "guidelines" on exorcism would be soon available in authorized versions translated into various languages. Those in need can already use a Latin version for "the Devil understand Latin," as the cardinal put it.

i think it is a great idea to recognize this issue. demons are all around us. People just have to know what to look for. i was also wondering if this new manual will be available to the general public.

Exorcists say that the the modern version of the Rite of Exorcism is not that effective than the old rite presented in the Roman Ritual. Evan Fr. Amorth, the chief exorcist of Vatican city in the Diocese of Rome gives the same suggestion. The newer version is concentrated at the prayers of deliverance than the focus of the Old Ritual is commanding directly the devil to depart from the possessed. The modern ritual is available currently in Latin and is undergoing the translation to different countries under the different National Bishop's Conferences. Its availability to the Public is scarce because the Church discourages its use to the layperson. if you would compare the two rituals you would notice the difference given by the critics. I suppose their suggestion about the new Rite is correct. This ritual maybe really called, by some, a "castrated one."

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about De Exorcismus et supplicationibus quibusdam. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
