Exorcists to Jesuit head Fr. Arturo Sosa, S.J.: Satan is real
.- An international organization of Catholic exorcists said Thursday that the existence of Satan as a real and personal being is a truth of Christin doctrine.
“The real existence of the devil, as a personal subject who thinks and acts and has made the choice of rebellion against God, is a truth of faith that has always been part of Christian doctrine,” the International Association of Exorcists said in an Aug. 22 press release.
The organization’s release came in response to recent remarks on the devil from Jesuit superior general Fr. Arturo Sosa, SJ, which the organization called “grave and confusing.”
The exorcists said they released their statement to provide “doctrinal clarification.”
Sosa made headlines earlier this week when he told Italian magazine Tempi that “the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality.”
The devil “exists as the personification of evil in different structures, but not in persons, because is not a person, is a way of acting evil. He is not a person like a human person. It is a way of evil to be present in human life,” Sosa said.
Citing a long history of Church teaching on the nature of Satan, including several citations from Pope Francis and his recent predecessors, the exorcists’ organization said that Catholics are bound to believe that Satan is a real and personal being, a fallen angel.
“The Church, founded on Sacred Scripture and on Apostolic Tradition officially teaches that the devil is a creature and a personal being, and she cautions those who, like Father Sosa, consider him only a symbol.”
Sosa’s remarks are “outside the ordinary and extraordinary-solemn magisterium” of the Church, the exorcists said.
The International Association of Exorcists is an “association of the faithful” formally approved by the Vatican’s Congregation for Clergy in 2014. Among its founders was well known exorcist Fr. Gabrele Amorth, who died in 2016.
Sosa, 70, was elected the Society of Jesus’ superior general in 2016. A Venezuelan, he has a pontifical licentiate in philosophy and a doctorate in political science. He served as a Jesuit provincial superior in Venezuela from 1996 to 2004, and in 2014 began an administrative role at the general curia of the Jesuits in Rome.
Sosa has offered controversial comments about Satan in the past. In 2017, he told El Mundo that “we have formed symbolic figures such as the Devil to express evil.”
After his 2017 remark generated controversy, a spokesman for Sosa told the Catholic Herald that “like all Catholics, Father Sosa professes and teaches what the Church professes and teaches. He does not hold a set of beliefs separate from what is contained in the doctrine of the Catholic Church.”

EXORCISTS TO JESUIT SUPERIOR GENERAL: DEVIL IS REAL
Caution those who believe he is ‘only a symbol’
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – The International Association of Catholic Exorcists (IEA) affirmed on Thursday that the existence of Satan as “a real and personal being is a truth of Christian doctrine.”
The IEA’s affirmation came just days after remarks by Superior General of the Society of Jesus Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal who declared the “devil exists only as symbolic reality.”
“We have formed symbolic figures such as the devil to express evil,” said Sosa. “Social conditioning can also represent this figure, since there are people who act [in an evil way] because they are in an environment where it is difficult to act to the contrary.”
The Jesuit superior also declared:
It exists as the evil personified in different structures but not in people, because it is not a person, it is a way of implementing evil. He is not a person like a human person. It is a way of evil to be present in human life.
Good and evil are in a permanent struggle in human consciousness, and we have ways to indicate them. We recognize God as good, entirely good. Symbols are part of reality, and the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality.
Sosa made the remarks during an interview published in the online magazine Tempi published on Aug. 21.
The IEA called Sosa’s remarks “grave and confusing” in a press release issued on Aug. 22, saying, “Some doctrinal clarifications are necessary.”

Margaret P Houston@HoustonMargaretIf there was ever a time for this image of Mary punching Satan in the face, this is it. And I’m not even Catholic.
The position of Sosa falls outside the ordinary and solemn magisterium, according to the association, who point to the “solemn magisterium expressed in the IV Lateran Council on angels and demons.”
The Lateran Council of 1215 declared, “The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls ‘angels’ is a truth of faith.”
Further, the council said, “The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition.”
Moreover, the association said the truth of the Fourth Lateran Council “is confirmed by a document of the Congregation of the Faith, published by L’Osservatore Romano on June 26, 1975” and corresponds to “the whole tradition of the Fathers of the Church and of the Popes.”
Referring to the teaching of Pope Paul VI, who in 1975 explained evil in the world as “the occasion and effect of an intervention in us and in our world of an obscure and enemy agent, the devil. Evil is no longer just a deficiency, but a living, spiritual, perverted and perverted being,” they likewise refuted Sosa’s remarks.
Paul VI added that the devil “is the number one enemy, he is the tempter par excellence. We know that this dark and disturbing being really exists.”
The exorcists also rebutted Sosa’s remarks by pointing to Pope Francis’ insistence on, and affirmation of, the reality of the devil throughout his papacy.

fwiw, here’s my “official” response: https://twitter.com/patrickmadrid/status/1164631369844174848 …
Patrick Madrid✔@patrickmadrid
Public Service Announcement:
The devil exists as a personal reality, not as a symbolic reality.
Jesus was not tempted in the desert by a symbol.
They refer to particularly to chapter five of the apostolic exhortation Gaudete et Exultate, where Pope Francis wrote, “Nor can this battle be reduced to the struggle against our human weaknesses and proclivities (be they laziness, lust, envy, jealousy or any others). It is also a constant struggle against the devil, the prince of evil.”
The Pope added, “Jesus himself celebrates our victories. He rejoiced when his disciples made progress in preaching the Gospel and overcoming the opposition of the evil one: ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven’ (Lk 10:18).
Directly refuting Sosa, Francis cautions about the dangers of looking at the devil as a symbol:
We should not think of the devil as a myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea. This mistake would lead us to let down our guard, to grow careless and end up more vulnerable. The devil does not need to possess us. He poisons us with the venom of hatred, desolation, envy and vice.
When we let down our guard, he takes advantage of it to destroy our lives, our families and our communities. “Like a roaring lion, he prowls around, looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
Francis also referred to the last request of the Lord’s Prayer, i.e., “to be freed from evil”: “The expression that is used there does not refer to evil in the abstract, but properly and concretely indicates the Evil One, which is a personal being,” said the exorcists.
Francis’ references to the Gospel of Mark which describe “the work of Jesus as a struggle against Satan (cf. Mk 1, 23–28; 32–34; 39; 3, 22–30 and passim)” speak to the existence of the evil one.
The life of His disciples, too, involve a battle that “is not against creatures made of flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil (Eph 6:12).”
Father Sante Babolin, known as the “exorcist of Padua,” underscored what the association of exorcists stated in their press release, stating, “It was standard Church teaching that Satan was a fallen angel.”
“God created everything — including those spirits that became evil,” also referring to the Magisterium of the Fourth Lateran Council.
“The devil and other demons were created by God good in nature, but they themselves through themselves have become wicked,” Babolin quotes the council.
Dr. Edward Peters, a canon lawyer who serves as referendary of the Apostolic Signatura, corroborates the IAE position, writing, “The existence of the devil as a personal reality, and not merely as a symbol of evil, is an article of faith.”

Peter adds, “Denial of an article of faith is an element of the canonical crime of heresy … an act punishable by measures up to and including excommunication, dismissal from the clerical state, and/or loss of ecclesiastical office.”
The canon lawyer acknowledges that “few in ecclesiastical leadership (including most orthodox members thereof!) wish to ‘pull the trigger’ in such cases and, as a result, utterances such as Sosa’s provoke little, usually no, response from Church leaders with inevitable harm to the faithful.”
The IEA recommends that Catholics educate themselves about the Church’s teaching on angels and demons. Its members recommend the Catechism of the Catholic Church, biographies of the saints, such as St. Martin of Tours, an exorcist, and “The Differential Diagnosis between Psychopathological Disorders and the Extraordinary Action of the Devil,” published on the IAE website.
Exorcists recommend specific prayers “to combat any form of evil that may be oppressing an individual.”
One prayer is the Anima Christi:
Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me; O good Jesus, hear me; within Thy wounds, hide me; let me never be separated from Thee; from the evil one, deliver me; at the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to Thee, that with Thy saints, I may praise Thee forever and ever. Amen.
Father Gabriele Amorth, former chief exorcist of Rome, recommends that prayers be joined with the sacrament of confession and the frequent reception of Holy Communion.
In addition, prayers should be said “with humility, recognizing the fact that God is the one who expels evil from our midst. We do not have any power over Satan; only the Lord of Heaven and Earth possesses such authority.”

New Age, Occult Practices and their dangers
Constance Cumbey, J.D. gives this thought-provoking and powerful talk, part of the Saint Michael’s Media Spiritual Warfare Conference 2009. Since the beginning the Christian faith has been challenged by responses to the question of origins that differ from its own. Ancient religions and cultures produced many myths concerning origins. Some philosophers have said that everything is God, that the world is God, or that the development of the world is the development of God (Pantheism). Others have said that the world is a necessary emanation arising from God and returning to him. Still others have affirmed the existence of two eternal principles, Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, locked in permanent conflict (Dualism, Manichaeism). According to some of these conceptions, the world (at least the physical world) is evil, the product of a fall, and is thus to be rejected or left behind (Gnosticism). Some admit that the world was made by God, but as by a watchmaker who, once he has made a watch, abandons it to itself (Deism). Finally, others reject any transcendent origin for the world, but see it as merely the interplay of matter that has always existed (Materialism). All these attempts bear witness to the permanence and universality of the question of origins. This inquiry is distinctively human (CCC: 285).
New Age & Spiritualism
As Christianity has been de-emphasized in modern times, a new paganism has arisen in the form of the New Age seeking to pit ‘spiritualism’ against authentic religion. Discover what lies behind this threat to authentic worship of God as Michael Voris explains the history of the new Age and its significance in the modern world.
