Satanism on the Rise, says Vatican- Guardian Angel

Surge in Satanism sparks rise in demand for exorcists, says Catholic Church

A surge in Satanism fuelled by the internet has led to a sharp rise in the demand for exorcists, the Roman Catholic Church has warned.

The web has made it easier than ever before to access information on Devil-worshipping and the occult, experts said.

Organisers of a conference in Rome say the rise of Satanism has been dangerously underestimated in recent years

Exorcism is the subject of a six-day conference being held this week at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University in Rome, which is under the Vatican's authority.

"The internet makes it much easier than in the past to find information about Satanism," said Carlo Climati, a member of the university who specialises in the dangers posed to young people by Satanism.

"In just a few minutes you can contact Satanist groups and research occultism. The conference is not about how to become an exorcist. It's to share information about exorcism, Satanism and sects. It's to give help to families and priests. There is a particular risk for young people who are in difficulties or who are emotionally fragile," said Mr Climati.

The object of seminars was to scrutinise the phenomenon of Satanism with "seriousness and scientific rigour", avoiding a "superficial or sensational approach", he said.

Satanism is on the rise,
mainly due to the internet.
The conference in Rome has brought together more than 60 Catholic clergy as well as doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers and youth workers to discuss how to combat the dangers of Devil-worship.

Organisers say the rise of Satanism has been dangerously underestimated in recent years.

"There's been a revival," said Gabriele Nanni, a former exorcist and another speaker at the course.

In theory, any priest can perform an exorcism – a rite involving prayers to drive the Devil out of the person said to be possessed.

But Vatican officials said three years ago that parish priests should call in professional exorcists if they suspect one of their parishioners needs purging of evil.

An exorcist should be called when "the moral certainty has been reached that the person is possessed", said Father Nanni, a member of the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

That could be indicated by radical and disturbing changes in the person's behaviour and voice, or an ability to garble in foreign languages or nonsensical gibberish.

While the number of genuine cases of possession by the Devil remained relatively small, "we must be on guard because occult and Satanist practices are spreading a great deal, in part with the help of the internet and new technologies that make it easier to access these rituals," he said.

The Vatican's chief exorcist claimed last year that the Devil lurked in the Vatican, the very heart of the Catholic Church.

Father Gabriele Amorth said people who are possessed by Satan vomit shards of glass and pieces of iron, scream, dribble and slobber, utter blasphemies and have to be physically restrained.

He claimed that the sex abuse scandals which have engulfed the Church in the US, Ireland, Germany and other countries, were proof that the anti-Christ was waging a war against the Holy See. He said Pope Benedict XVI believed "wholeheartedly" in the practice of exorcism.

Bible forbids Satan worship. by Sebastian D'Souza on 20th May 2011 , 1:42 pm
Dear friends, Christian greetings.Bible is clear about satanic activities.And one among them is witchcraft.Then comes astrology and then horoscope,palm reading and fortune telling as well.All these activities are from Satan.He is the main culprit to start these things in the world.Because the word is in his hand.(1John 5:19)Very few people know this fact.Satan takes advantage of their ignorance and makes them to believe as if it is the truth.Satan is a master deceiver.His main job is to deceive people.When he approached Eve,he deceived her by saying if you eat the forbidden fruit you will not die but you become like God.And Eve belived his lies and ate that fruit.As Satan said she would not die,Eve saw that she did not die and she believed his lie and took it as truth.In fact Eve died spiritually and not physically.What I want to stress here is Satan's job is to deceive. How many people know that Satan is the deceiver? Or a liar? Very few.Why? Because very few people read bible.And those who read,fail to note all these things.Unless one is equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit,he or she will not know all these secrets of the evil one.All those people who have the Holy Spirit know the evil designs of Satan.Also they are the people who has power to bind Satan and hs evil forces.God gives the Holy Spirit to those people who commit their lives to Jesus.And Jesus gives them to bind the Satan.Because Jesus has defeated Satan on the cross.Merely by collecting experts,sychologists,educationists and conducting conferences will not do.Satan is much powerful than these people.Only Jesus and his power can do wonders.People who have Jesus in them,who are called Believers have this power and they are the people who can, not only bind Satan but chase him from their presence.When Believers take the name of Jesus,Satan flees.Others cannot do this.Else their condition will be like the sons of Skeva. Here one more secret of Satan I want to expose and bring it to your notice.As few people know,Satan who was known as Lucifer(that is his real name) was attending God's worship as a band master.He saw thousands of Angels worshiping God day and night.He became jealous of God and wished Angels should also worship him.The moment he thought this,God hurdled him down from heaven and he from Lucifer became Satan in a second.From that day Satan is hungry and thirsty of worship.He wants people should worship him.And for that,whenever he sees any object that people worship,he goes and takes possesion that object.That may be idol,image,statue anything and everything.And he tries to take the honor of that worship.He is happy when people worship any image or idol or for that matter any thing.Because he is in those things.Only the thing is,he wants is people's worship.Therefore my conviction is this,and that is every image or idol or statue and for that matter even cross which people burn candles is possesed by Satan.he wants people should worship him and that is his main aim. When one reads bible and commits his or her life to Jesus,comes to know all these things.There are so many people in the world who read bible,still they do not know all the secrets of the evil one.Because though they read bible but do not commit their lives to Jesus.Therefore God does not reveal them his secrets.Because God's secrets belong to God and only he can reveal to those who commit their lives to his Son,Jesus Christ.Hallelujah !!!

Origin Satanism. by Sebastian D'Souza on 21st May 2011 , 12:42 pm
Dear friends, Christian greetings.In the beginning there was no sin in the world.God created godly family of Adam and Eve and placed them in the garden which was known as Eden or Garden of Eden.And that garden was like heaven.No pain,no sickness nor sadness nor tears but happiness.God used to visit this godly family and have fellowship with them.Talk to them and walk with them. As I said in my previous letter,Satan was hurdled from heaven.He became God's enemy.Now he decided to distroy everything that God made.Now his target was God's family.First he deceived Eve and then through Eve he succeeded in trapping Adam and he made them his followers.From that time onwards Adam and Eve rebelled against God and started doing everything Satan put in their mind. Time passed and men went on increasing in the world.God also saw that sin is increasing day by day and people are doing everything is ill and sinful.So God thought of giving them law.So he called Moses on the mountain and gave him commandments.God wrote all those commandments on stone tablets with his own fingers.It took forty days and forty nights for God to complete this work.Moses was with God on the mountain all those forty days.God was at work with Moses on the mountain whereas Satan was at work in the minds of the people.Up on the mountain God said thou shall not make any image,whereas Satan instigated people in asking people to make image.People who were at the foot of the mountain became impatient and asked Aron,Moses' brother to make idol, so that they would worship that idol as God.And Aron listened to them and made a calf and gave them.if you see minutely,Satan was behind every move.He instigated people to ask Aron to make idol.he also instigated people to worship that calf while he took the opportunity to posses that calf.And people started worshiping the calf and dancing singing before the calf.There was big celebration in the camp.All that worship and shouting Satan enjoyed,because they worshiping him and not the calf.This is first Satan worship which came into this world.From that day people started making different idols and images where Satan is at work.He goes and takes possesion of the idol the moment it is made.People don't understand Satan's plans.He always works among people instigating them to do anything which is against God.if one sees what is going on many religions,will know that each religion has idols and images.Temples and even churches are full of images and idols.People take pleasure and honor in worshiping them not knowing to whom the honor goes.Sadly everything goes to Satan,that may be honor or worship. These are ending days.Satan has become more active.he is hell bent on instigating people more and more.He is raising people like Sathya Sai Baba,Rajanish,Baba Ramdev,and many more.All this is because of Satan.People are indulging in Satan worship rather than worshiping God.As preaching of Jesus is going on all over the world,Satan is becoming more and more furious.He has also become more active in instigating people to make more and more idols everywhere.War is between God and Satan. God, I mean Jesus is the Victor.He has already defeated Satan on the cross two thousand years back.People who listen to God will come to Jesus and those who do not,will go to pardition which is hell.Those people irresptive of religion,come to Jesus and commit their lives to him will be saved.Whereas those who do not,will join Satan and keep indulging in idol worship.
