Inside the World of Exorcism

On April 2nd, Fr Francesco Bamonte, a renowned exorcist from the Diocese of Rome, visited our college to share his inspiring journey and experiences as an exorcist. Ordained in 1990 and a priest of the Congregation of the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr Francesco has been dedicated to spiritual guidance, particularly for those affected by occultism and esoteric practices. He has served as an exorcist since 2000 and has been deeply involved in the training of others in this field.

Fr Francesco’s insights into his role were both enlightening and impactful. He shared how he became an exorcist, offering personal anecdotes about his work in combating spiritual darkness. As an expert in both exorcism and occultism, he has written several books, including Gli angeli ribelli: Il mistero del male nell’esperienza di un esorcista and La Vergine Maria e il diavolo negli esorcismi.

From 2012 to 2023, Fr Francesco also served as the president of the International Association of Exorcists. His visit provided us with a unique and deeper perspective on the spiritual warfare faced by many, as well as the dedication and strength required to confront such challenges through faith and prayer.
