Father Amorth lived a full life before he became Chief Exorcist of the Diocese of Rome in 1986 at the age of 61, and remained in the position for another thirty years until his death in 2016. He'd fought in WWII, studied journalism in Rome, and didn't have anything to do with handling possessions until he was much older, though according to his boo...
At the beginning of The Pope's Exorcist, Father Amorth travels to Tropea, Italy, a small village with a terrified priest who isn't skilled enough to face a possessed local. Father Amorth doesn't believe the man is truly possessed after spending some time with him, but nevertheless challenges the demonic entity inside his body to possess a pig he's ...
The Pope's Exorcist is first and foremost a blockbuster and draws very loosely from Father Amorth's life. In his first book, Amorth famously said that out of 100 cases, only two might actually involve possessed and necessitate his intervention. While Amorth did see things "that have confounded all of science and all of medicine" during the 100,000 ...
Though The Pope's Exorcist is based on thousands of Father Amorth's accounts of possession, screenwriter Michael Petroni cherry-picked pieces from his books rather than adapt one particular exorcism. The entire plot of the movie, in which Crowe's Amorth travels to Spain to save a 10-year-old boy possessed by Asmodeus, as well as the Vatican conspir...
Much fanfare has been made out of how many exorcisms Father Amorth is said to have conducted over the thirty-odd years that he was in service to the Vatican. In The Pope's Exorcist, his skill is spoken about in hushed whispers, and even though certain members of the clergy don't approve of his methods, he's given a great deal of respect. In his boo...
In the very opening of The Pope's Exorcist, Father Amorth travels to a small Italian village to exorcise a demon from a possessed man, eventually transferring it into a pig brought along for the ritual. Once the demon (whom Father Amorth identifies as Satan) is sent into the pig, he shoots it with a shotgun. This scene establishes Crowe's Father Am...
As fun as it is to watch Russell Crowe zip around on a Vespa listening to "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult, the real Father Amorth didn't use a Vespa to get to his exorcisms. He certainly didn't use one to get all the way from Italy to Spain with nothing but a little satchel of tinctures and relics. Father Amorth may have used something sporty in ...
Towards the end of The Pope's Exorcist, Father Amorth uncovers a truth that shatters the very foundation of the Catholic Church; the demon Asmodeus once possessed the exorcist Alonso de Ojega and through him, convinced Queen Isabella II to start the Spanish Inquisition. This exculpates the Catholic Church and blames the atrocities committed in 1478...
During a quiet moment, Father Amorth talks about one particular case that touched him involving a girl named Rosaria, who he suspected was mentally ill but couldn't find a way to help before she jumped to her death. This was most likely based on the real Father Amorth's investigation of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a prominent Vati...
In the absence of the Devil, The Pope's Exorcist uses a similarly contrived entity from Judeo-Islamic legend. Henry's demon in The Pope's Exorcist is Asmodeus, and he proves to be quite a malevolent presence, moving from Henry to Amy and finally into Father Amorth himself. When in possession of his victims he resorts to shockingly profane verbiage,...

Apr 16, 2023 · While conducting The Pope's Exorcist fact check, we learned that Father Gabriele Amorth claimed to have performed more than 70,000 exorcisms. He carried out many of these exorcisms on the same individuals, as it almost always requires multiple exorcisms to cast out a demon. A person can also be possessed more than once.

Gabriele Amorth S.S.P. (Italian: [ɡabriˈɛːle ˈaːmort]; 1 May 1925 – 16 September 2016) was an Italian Catholic priest of the Paulines and an exorcist for the Diocese of Rome. Amorth, along with five other priests, founded the International Association of Exorcists. His work in demonology and exorcism gained him international recognition.
They are priests chosen to drive out the extraordinary presence of Satan and his army.”. —Fr. Gabrielle Amorth. When Fr. Gabriele Amorth passed away on September 16, 2016 at the age of ninety, he had given everything to Christ and His Church. He performed as many as twelve exorcisms in a day. He faithfully served sixty-nine years in the ...

The Catholic establishment is happier talking about “the spirit of evil” than evil spirits. The Vatican recently issued a new rite of exorcism which has not met with Father Amorth's approval. “They say we cannot perform an exorcism unless we know for certain that the Evil One is present. That is ridiculous.
