There's something seriously wrong with celebrity exorcists like Dan Reehill, Chad Ripperger, and their imitators. I have three objections against them and I will proceed to explain them.
The first objection is their stupid tradition of asking questions to the devil. The internet is full of headlines like the following:
"The devil tells exorcist he LOVES this things"
"Satan told exorcist he HATES this PRAYER"
"SHOCKING: Things the devil told to exorcist that will CHANGE your LIFE"
The reason I object to this is that the demons are obviously liars and there is no reason to trust them. Even if they say the truth, there is no reason to ask them questions like a glorified "catholic" ouija board.
The second reason I object to them is based on the fact that they never condemn the Conciliar religion. If they are so good at demon detection, why can't they see the biggest, fattest demons of them all?
The late Malachi Martin was also a celebrity exorcist of sorts, but at least he said the truth about the Council.
The third objection is that this industry will become a gold mine for attention-seeking clerics. There's nothing wrong with *one* interview with Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson, but appearing at every single YouTube channel to speak about your experiences with demons is wasteful.
At some point this videos will stop being about spirituality, becoming instead the "catholic" equivalent of ghost hunting shows. All fluff, zero substance.
The exorcists, tempted by the desire for clicks and views, can embellish their stories - even until they become undistinguishable from the junk that appears in films like "The Conjuring". If such a thing ever happens, will their followers realize they have been conned?
None of this things make any sense to me and that's why I don't trust celebrity exorcists. Might they be brought to to their senses, and might they never make up stories like the ones from "The Conjuring".
