Fr. Gabriele Amorth
Gabriele Amorth S.S.P. (Italian: [ɡabriˈɛːle ˈaːmort]; 1 May 1925 – 16 September 2016) was an Italian Catholic priest of the Paulines and an exorcist for the Diocese of Rome.[1] Amorth, along with five other priests, founded the International Association of Exorcists.[2] His work in demonology and exorcism gained him international recognition. Over the course of his career, Father Amorth claimed to have performed tens of thousands of exorcisms and became one of the most prominent and controversial figures in the Catholic Church in the modern era.[3]
