Requests for the
services of exorcists have tripled in Italy recently and the
Vatican is laying on fresh training courses for aspiring
Devil-fighters to cope with the demand, a veteran exorcist told
Vatican Radio Thursday.
There are now about half a million cases every year in Italy,
Palermo priest Father Benigno Palilla said.
He said much of the reason was that "the number of people
ready to go to magicians, witches, card and Tarot readers has
greatly increased.
"By doing so they open the door to the Devil, And to
possession".
