Known around Italy for frank discussion of exorcisms on television, Fr. Amorth is perhaps best known in English-speaking countries for his books An Exorcist Tells His Story, and An Exorcist: More Stories, Fr. Gabriele Amorth (born 1925) was ordained a priest in 1954 and became an official exorcist in 1986. For about 20 years he served as chief exorcist for the Diocese of Rome. In 1990 he founded the International Association of Exorcists, and served as its president he was until his retirement in 2000; although he’s been given the title “honorary president for life.”

Throughout the years Fr. Amorth has embraced Medjugorje, and in a 2002 interview, Fr. Amorth called the place “a great fortress against Satan.”

Within this great number, both bishops and priests are included, the leading Catholic exorcist of the past 20 years said in a September 15 interview given to Radio Maria.
