THE POPE'S EXORCIST

"The Pope's Exorcist" refers to Father Gabriele Amorth, who was a Catholic priest and the chief exorcist of the Diocese of Rome from 1986 until his death in 2016. Father Amorth was known for his outspoken views on demonic possession and his frequent exorcisms, which he claimed numbered in the tens of thousands.

Father Amorth authored several books on the subject of exorcism, including "An Exorcist Tells His Story" and "An Exorcist: More Stories." In these books, he recounted his experiences as an exorcist and described the rituals and prayers used to perform exorcisms in the Catholic Church.

Father Amorth was a controversial figure, and his beliefs and practices were criticized by some within the Church. However, he remained a respected and influential figure in the world of exorcism, and his writings continue to be studied and debated by scholars and practitioners of the rite.

Father Amorth's life and work have been the subject of several documentaries and films, including the 2016 documentary "The Devil and Father Amorth" directed by William Friedkin, who also directed the classic horror film "The Exorcist."
