“I speak with the Devil every day,” Father Gabriele Amorth, who died in 2016 at age 91, once said in an interview.
It’s not everyday that an exorcist pens a movie review, but last month a group of demon removers did just that.declared of the new movie “The Pope’s Exorcist,”The 29-year-old Catholic organization added: “The end result is to instill the conviction that exorcism is an abnormal, monstrous and frightening phenomenon, whose only protagonist is the devil, whose violent reactions can be faced with great difficulty.
If a person was believed to be inhabited by Satan or another nefarious force, he was their go-to guy.“I speak with the Devil every day,” Amorth, who died in 2016 at age 91,in 2004. “I talk to him in Latin. He answers in Italian. I have been wrestling with him, day in day out.” The priest said only about 94 of the thousands of exorcisms he performed represented full possession — cases varied in severity — and that part of the job was determining if somebody was simply ill or needed a psychiatrist. But he dramatically described, at least in his estimation, legitimate tussles with the devil.,” Amorth said he commonly witnessed possessed souls exhibit superhuman strength.
Amorth became a lightning rod of controversy during his years in the role. He claimed onstage at a film festival in 2011 that “practicing yoga is satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter” and suggested that Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin had been possessed by the devil.

Keri Russell ‘Couldn’t Stop Thinking About’ Netflix’s ‘The Diplomat’Characterizing Keri Russell’s new show ‘The Diplomat’ (Netflix, April 20) is difficult, but that’s part of its charm. “The drama of politics, the absurdity of that kind of politics, the pomp and circumstance mixed in with a complicated marriage,” Russell told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott. Sounds intense, but in fact “it’s a bit saucy.” Russell plays Kate Wyler, a career diplomat “plucked from the Middle East to go and host tea parties and talk to stylists” as the new U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom amid an international crisis. The tone of the show blends high-stakes drama with the humor of being a fish out of water, which is “part of the joke and the fun.” The seamless blend in tone is credited to the show’s creator, Debora Cahn. “I don’t think she could write something that is super serious without a joke in it. That’s just the nature of who she is.” Russell, who recently starred in ‘Cocaine Bear,’ is intentionally focusing on the lighter fare. “The world is so hard, at least since COVID. I just feel like I’ve been way more drawn to the lighter stuff, something brighter. Because the world is crazy town right now.” Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
