This week we take a look into the life of Father Gabriel Amorth, the Vatican's Chief Exorcist. We are joined by Erin Bush, who is filling in for Laura this week as she is on vacation in Mexico eating all the tacos. Jerk.
This man inspired the new film "The Pope's Exorcist" which has folks feeling all kinds of things about it. Come with us as we look into the life of the real priest, and his experiences. We also look at how the director of one of the most terrifying films in the world, "The Exorcist", William Friedkin, was able to meet Fr. Amorth and witness a real exorcism himself, 43 years after he terrified generation after generation.
Grab whatever protects you as we get into some seriously skin crawling things. And, spoiler alert - we are not living in a Sam and Dean Winchester/Supernatural world.
