Exorcisms and the popes: Stories from inside the Vatican

Vatican City, Nov 16, 2020 / 02:17 pm (CNA).- It is a core tenet of the Catholic faith that demons are real, and as said in the St. Michael prayer, that they “prowl about the earth seeking the ruin of souls.”

As a lifelong Catholic, Italian journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona has always believed this. But he did not know he would one day write a book about it -- until he witnessed an exorcism with his “own eyes” and a priest asked him to write about what he saw and learned.
