Negative Positive
Title: Weak
Review: As a good and true Catholic, I believe in the reality of demonic possession and in the authority and power of the Church to exorcise demons from those people they plague and torment. Having said that, however, I'm disappointed in the books I've read on exorcism. Putting myself in the shoes of a skeptic, I know how uncomfortable, embarrassed, and unpersuaded I'd be by these efforts. Father Amorth's book is no exception. Granted, it may be partly the fault of the amateurish writing (or the translation), but the good Father comes across as, well, rather silly. I'm sure he's not, but that's the impression with which I'm left.Furthermore, Father Amorth is clearly an adherent of the charismatic movement within the Catholic Church. In the interests of full disclosure, I must say that this movement is not at all my cup of tea; I consider it far more Protestant than Catholic.Not recommended.
Is the review positive or negative?
