Editor’s Note: To successfully perform an exorcism of a person obsessed or possessed by demons, three things are necessary: that the priest be validly ordained, that the priest be in the state of grace, and that the priest have the charism to exorcise. — Extrinsically, if you superior requires that he give his permission, then not having his permission is also a disqualifying condition for an efficacious exorcism.
Indeed, if you are going to do battle directly with the servants of the Father of Lies, you have to be a man of the truth.
This is why schismatics and heretics and even well-intentioned but badly prepared Catholic priests, in communion with true Popes, often end up spiritually destroyed or possessed, when they attempt even authorized exorcisms.
But if you are a priest who is validly ordained but in communion with a formal manifest heretic who was non canonically selected to be Roman Pontiff, you will only end in total disaster, for you are living a lie, a very spiritual lie, on so many levels.
However, if you are a Satanist and want priests to become possessed by Satan, you could scarcely do better than getting yourself uncanonically installed as Roman Pontiff, while embracing profound heresies, and approving the Statutes of an international association of exorcists, to gaslight them, as it were, or maybe it would be more accurately to say, induct them into the service of Satan.
To attempt an exorcism is not a light thing to undertake. If you say the prayer of Major Exorcism you make yourself for the rest of your life a special target for diabolic assaults, since it puts you, as it were, on a special demonic hit list. The servants of Satan, from there after, are going to especially attack you at your weakest points, after they study you to see how to take you down. This is why the greatest of Saints usually had the most implacable enemies.
Exorcists tell me, that as it has become more and more popular for laymen to pray the Major Exorcism on their own authority, the number of cases of demonic obsession and possession are on the rise, since the presumption to undertake a work that only a holy man should undertake is nearly always a mortal sin of itself, and opens the doors to deep and lasting demonic control.

Some time ago Fr Ripperberger promoted the Auxilium Cristianorum prayers. Can you comment on whether it is wise to pray these?
https://auxiliumchristianorum.org/prayers/
This priest has caused a great number of laymen and women to become obsessed by demons by encouraging them to perform exorcisms. I would not recommend anything by him. I have known of this priest for more than 20 years, since I caught him lying about Councils in order to defend inanities of Vatican II. So I never recommend anything by him. In these prayers, there is a grave theological error of calling our Lady the Sovereign of the Angels, a title which belongs to God alone.
Correct on every point. Exorcists often employ teams to assist them in their ministry and to protect themselves from false claims of abuse. During sessions, there will be a group of laity praying the Rosary, a psychiatrist, and sometimes a Discerner who has special gifts. If the team is well formed, none but the exorcist priest would dare to pray the Ritual of Exorcism. Often there will be more than one priest, all with permission from the Bishop. Musicians are sometimes invited, as I was to sing the Salve Regina or other chants, with the goal of freeing the penitent, as this is highly irritating to the demons . I did witness some healing take place in this ministry, but never a full deliverance. Since this group was in communion with an anti-pope (Bergoglio), this is likely the reason. I left because I knew there were cafeteria Catholics involved, and I did not want to put my soul in jeopardy. These new statutes approved by an anti-pope can only cause further harm. Sorry, Fr. Ripperger, but, you should tell the truth about the necessity of there being a true successor and Catholic on the Chair of St. Peter. It is not a mystery that exorcisms are taking longer.
I myself have only attended one exorcism myself, and can confirm what you say here. After the exorcism the priests asked me whether I thought the possessed woman was really possessed. I told them the next time to read the Latin omitting a word here or there, and if she reacted the same way, she was faking it. And thus it happened. She later admitted her fraud and repented, but it took a few years.
I always thought that Father Ripperger was legit and always prayed the traditional rite. He said recently that a group of exorcists in the US, I think, said that the rate of demonic obsession was generally 25% and that it is now taking 4 years to rid someone of possession, wheras back in the 1950’s it used to take 1 – 2 days. Are there priests using the traditional rite in Italy?
Father Ripperger has remained in communion with 2 antipopes, your exorcisms are going to be ineffective if you do that. But yes, the Old Rite is more effective because it verbally actually is and signifies and exorcism, whereas the new rite is merely a wish for it.
I agree that if he has been, and continues to be, in union with the two recent antipopes that could be a good reason why the exorcisms are taking exponentially longer than in the 50s. I have been praying the auxulium christianum prayers daily for years, but, I suppose the Holy Rosary has supreme protection if prayed correctly, I take it that you recommend not continuing with the payers.
Don’t say the exorcisms, but the other prayers certainly are not dangerous. I am not talking about the short prayer to Saint Michael, that is fine and shout be said. But if any prayers in particulare are exorcistic, that is command demons to depart, do not say them. — Here we must distinguish between praying to God or the Saints that they drive demonas away, and all of us can and should say such prayers. But an exorcistic prayer is when you in your own authority, command them to depart A thing which should only be done if you are a bishop or priest or have received from God a special charism according to the judgement of your ecclesiastic superiors, as Saint Francis sometimes commanded of holy friars, like he did at Siena.
