An enduring archetype

The Pope’s Exorcist is a supernatural horror thriller film, based on the life and works of Father Gabriele Amorth, an Italian Catholic priest and an official exorcist of the Diocese of Rome. Amorth claimed that during his lifetime, he performed tens of thousands of exorcisms, which he documented in his memoirs, which in turn, form the basis of the film. While the church raised many questions about Amorth, he worked at the behest of the Pope himself and helped several people from possessions of the devil. Gonzalez, Umberto (June 27, 2022).
