Historic exorcism – April 11, 2020

During Holy Week, Abp. Viganò called on Catholic bishops and priests to join him on the Great Saturday at 3pm and to pray together with him the exorcism of Pope Leo XIII. This Pope had a vision: “In the place where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety…” The image of the terrible desecration of St. Peter’s Basilica by the pagan Pachamama idol emerges in our minds. The pandemic and the fact that Catholics have been deprived of Holy Mass and the Sacraments are viewed by many as a punishment not only for this defilement but also for heresies and apostasy deep in the heart of the Church.

The Great Saturday is the day when we remember Our Lord Jesus Christ as He descended into Hades to free the souls of the Fathers from Satan’s chains. Abp. Viganò warned of the extraordinary seriousness of the current situation not only because of the pandemic but mainly because of the tragic apostasy within the Church.

There is no human solution. In this most critical situation, Abp. Viganò pointed out the focus of infection, and that is the devil himself and his angels occupying the heart of the Church. He therefore called for collective exorcism.

The bishops and priests of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) do not name Bergoglio (invalid Pope Francis) in the Divine Liturgy and are not in unity with him. The Exorcism against Satan and the Apostate Angels – demons – was recited at the appointed time in the seven monasteries of the Patriarchate.

A short testimony from one of the monasteries: Exorcism and songs of praise which followed it lasted an hour. It was not a mere recitation of the Latin text. We often stopped and repeated an authoritative statement of God’s power several times. Then there was a pause, and we cried out to God in the power of the Spirit, that His omnipotence, through the word spoken, bound the power of the devil so that the Church would again become the salt and the light to the world rather than a false light leading to perdition.

The one whom Jesus gave us from the cross as our mother, saying, “Behold, your mother!” was our great help and protection in this spiritual struggle. Together with her we stood against Satan and his fallen angels, demons.

After exorcism, the question arose: Did it make a significant breakthrough in the Church? It definitely did! However, this does not mean that it will be immediately visible in the external world. The breakthrough was made in the spiritual world, starting at 3pm on April 11, 2020.

Good Friday at Calvary marked a historic turning point – the devil was defeated! Nevertheless, the work of salvation will only be completed by Christ’s final victory at His Second Coming at the end of history. Meanwhile, we are going through the time of test and trials, being influenced by original sin – spiritual poison and deceived by the world and the devil. But if we follow Jesus, who is the way, we are conquerors with Him. If we stray from this way and enter upon the path of heresies and apostasy – the path of Bergoglio’s antichurch – the devil prevails.

What was the point of that exorcism? Satan was not yet definitively bound; this will only happen at the end of the ages. This exorcism was a spiritual breakthrough, when the Spirit of God entered into the core of the Church occupied by Satan, and spiritual revival begins. How God will accomplish it in the external world and how long this process will last is a secret for the time being, but it is no secret that this breakthrough has already been made. Now it depends on each bishop, each priest and each common believer what spirit they will cooperate with, whether with the Spirit of Christ or with the spirit of Bergoglio and his Pachamama.

We can see an analogy in Vatican Council II. It also made a hidden spiritual breakthrough, but in a negative sense. That breakthrough did not manifest itself immediately; it is only now that we reap its fruits.

The exorcism was performed by several bishops and priests, but the revival process requires participation of every sincere Catholic, be it by prayer or repentance.
