From The Christian Post:<\/em><\/p>\n

Father Dan Reehil, a Roman Catholic priest and exorcist with the Diocese of Nashville, floated the concept of formally cursed movies amid reports earlier this week that Steven Spielberg\u00a0claimed<\/a>\u00a0his new alien film “Disclosure Day” may shake the faith of Christians.<\/p>\n

Reehil also questioned last week’s\u00a0removal<\/a> of fellow exorcist Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti from the Archdiocese of Washington after he drew attention for expressing his opinion that demons can masquerade as aliens and that “probably many, if not most, of these UFO sightings are, in fact, demons.”\u00a0“That, to me, is very bizarre, because who’s to say that couldn’t happen?” Reehil said of Rossetti’s assessment. “You know, does that contradict our faith? Absolutely not. Demons have appeared in many ways, shapes and forms for millennia.”\u00a0“So, I find it an odd reason to can somebody, given that [Rossetti] is a very outstanding theologian. He’s a wonderful person, he’s an amazing priest. He’s an excellent exorcist, and he’s been serving God in his church for decades.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
