    • Any reason all celebrity exorcists are bald headed?

    2) Fr. Chad Ripperger:




    3) Fr. Gabrielle Amorth:





    4) Fr. Vincent Lampert:




    5) Msgr. Rossetti:

    • Perhaps I have a romantic notion of exorcists as reclusive, austere, humble, discrete, and private priests, whose apostolates as exorcists are known only to their bishops.

    These celebrity exorcists could be legitimate, and I certainly do not want to assert the contrary, yet I cannot help being reminded of fake martial arts masters, pretending to have superpowers, to obtain the adulation of dupes, like these guys:

    .

    Well, yeah, obviously. This is how it was before Vatican 2. It's bizarre how many of these conservative Novus Ordoites who want to go back to tradition don't seem to know that.

    • I have read Fr. Ripperger's books on mental health and his book "Dominion" and the material is solid. He is a very good Thomist but I too do not understand why there has to be all this publicity surrounding them.

    An objective closer look at these priests would be a worthy task, to dispel any doubts and equally show up faults.

    • Are they naturally bald, or do they shave?

    Though I am not an exorcist, I do sport a chrome dome.  I have some hair, but I choose to shave, saves me a fortune, and it's maintenance-free aside from the shaving.  (And though this isn't an issue for me, and I certainly hope not for the priests, some women find it hot.)

    It might be just a practical decision.

    • Hmm maybe hiding Jєω-fros? Going for a minimalist look? Saving money on barbers? Who knows? 

    Of course, none of these "holy men" are trustworthy.

    I wonder how Russell Crowe got his hands on the private writings of Gabrielle Amorth. Likely a terrible movie. Does Amorth's money go to living relatives? The AP doesn't answer these questions. Amorth was an "Italian resistance fighter" in WWII. What was he resisting?


    Quote
    Views on yoga
    At a film festival in Umbria (where he was invited to introduce the 2011 film about Exorcism called The Rite), he is quoted as saying that yoga is satanic because it leads to the practice of Hinduism and "all eastern religions are based on a false belief in reincarnation" and "practicing yoga is satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter."[22][23]
    Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi

    Amorth claimed that Emanuela Orlandi, a Vatican City schoolgirl who went missing in Rome in 1983, was kidnapped for a sex party by a gang involving Vatican police and foreign diplomats. He said that she was later murdered and her body disposed of. Amorth claimed that girls were recruited at the Vatican for parties, adding that her death "was a crime with a sɛҳuąƖ motive."[24]

    --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele_Amorth


    Hmm, I bet dollars to donuts one couldn't find Amorth expressing any criticism of тαℓмυdists.

    • I doubt these 'priests' can even exorcise any demons due to the new rite. There is also the problem that then listen to what the demons have to say... You absolutely cannot trust anything a demon says. Yet these guys seem show and tell their demonic encounters.. it makes me think they are being played by satan and his cronies.

    I think if he only talked about exorcism in the videos he wouldn't be so popular. There is only so much one can say on the topic.

    Looking at the Popular category list of videos on Sensus Fidelium  yt channel, it's dominated by Fr Ripperger. And it looks like 90% of those videos are on topics other than solemn exorcism.

    A solid Thomist who happens to be an excellent catechist with as good of a delivery as he has is going to be popular.

    The great majority may be.

    Technically speaking, demon fear caused their hair to fall-in (not out) and it clogged their brains.

     Good questions here, on my part. Why was Amorth in the "resistance" during WWII. Any evidence that he ever criticized тαℓмυdists?

    To baldness or to exorcist?

    If he's not an exorcist, then he's not an exception to the bald exorcist rule.

    If you're being subjected to projectile vomiting, it's probably best not to have hair.
