From Mirror (caution: tabloid):
Leading Catholic exorcists have urged Pope Leo XIV to recruit additional demon-battling priests following reports of a worldwide increase in occult and Satanic practices.
Officials from the International Association of Exorcists (AIE) met with the Pontiff earlier this month to present a report highlighting escalating incidents connected to occultism and Satanism. The AIE is calling on every Catholic diocese across the globe to have at least one qualified exorcist available to recognise and address complex cases. They’re also pushing for improved training, more explicit guidance for newly appointed bishops, and robust standards for determining when a case warrants intensive spiritual intervention, according to reports from EWTN Vatican and InfoVaticana.
