Exorcism, scams also come from artificial intelligence
In the course on "Exorcisms and the Prayer for Deliverance" the tendency of groups or sects using do-it-yourself exorcism
The world of exorcism is becoming more and more invested by fraudsters who go so far as to perform do-it-yourself rituals, but also by artificial intelligence, through which people now seek answers to every problem, as well as deliverance from evil.
This was one of the themes that emerged in the recent course on "Exorcisms and the Prayer of Deliverance" held in Rome, at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum: addressed not only to priests and religious but also to the laity, the 20th edition, promoted by the Sacerdos Institute in collaboration with the Gris (Group for Socio-Religious Research and Information) was attended by 231 participants from 38 nationalities.
"Only Catholicism," warns David Murgia, journalist in charge of the Gris of the diocese of Rome, "provides for very strict stakes for exorcism. It must be a priest, with a good moral life, appointed by the bishop and he can only perform exorcisms within his diocese and use a codified ritual".
The danger is instead that 'some groups or sects use a kind of do-it-yourself exorcism. Without any kind of hierarchical control, anyone in these cases can start practising exorcisms', as happened in a small town, Altavilla Milicia, in the province of Palermo.
Another danger lies in the artificial intelligence that 'enables people to approach magical practices and use them habitually. In this sense, there is also talk of digital occulture (fusion of occult and culture, ndr): occult themes no longer represent elitist, reserved and inaccessible knowledge, but are becoming an integral part of popular culture and the media as well as everyday digital life,' warns the expert.
