The Catholic Roman Rite of Exorcism (Rituale Romanum). An updated, scholarly treatment of the Rite, qualities of the exorcist, and the rituals of exorcism. Includes simple deliverance ministry and prayers concerning evil spirits. Extensive background on the history of the Rite, current rules and procedures, and traditional prayers of exorcism and deliverance. Written by Michael Freze, S.F.O., Catholic scholar and world recognized expert on demonology. The author has published a 12-book series on demonology, providing an important work in the field of demonology and the study of possession and exorcism. Destined to become a classic among the Catholic books of our era. A recent endorsement: "I have to say that of the many books I have read (having multiple degrees in theology -including my Doctorate from Columbia University) your "They Bore the Wounds of Christ: The Mystery of the Sacred Stigmata..." is one of my all time favorites. In fact not only do I continue to refer to it, but there are certain passages that you explain that could only be attributable to infused divine inspiration. Please continue to write ... Peace, Deacon Mike Vicinanza" (April 17, 2016). Review: Fascinating reading with important facts - It’s a very interesting read. The most important point is a contradiction to popular ghost hunters’ beliefs. With good intentions Christians and ghost hunters will tell one to directly confront an evil entity one feels is in their home—“This is my house, you are not welcome here. I command you to get out in the name of Jesus.” The Rite tells us that by directly addressing the demon we are giving tacit notice to it that the war is on, it’s a battle between us and it with Jesus’ name mentioned in the battle. The church believes a layperson should use a deprecatory prayer instead—not confronting the demon but rather asking Jesus to confront the demon and expel it from the home. The reader will learn the great care the church exercises to ensure all other possible medical and natural explanations for the problem have been exhausted before conducting an exorcism as the last resort. The book also explains the differences between obsession, oppression and infestation and describes how a person becomes vulnerable to attack. If one is interested in understanding the Rite of Exorcism then this is the book to read. Review: Not Just For Priests, But Use Care - Is there evil around us? AND HOW! For those who are fearless believers and don't have access to a priest go for it, but only if you are up to the task. It needn't be a person you address, but the environment around you such as the home, neighborhood, city.

Not Just For Priests, But Use Care
Is there evil around us? AND HOW! For those who are fearless believers and don't have access to a priest go for it, but only if you are up to the task. It needn't be a person you address, but the environment around you such as the home, neighborhood, city.

I just thought it could have explained it a little bit better. Like do you start at the first page and read all the way through.I know one priest skips some of them. And when do you stop.And how do you know it's over or when the demon has left for sure.

A Disappointing Reference on Exorcism
At first, I was looking forward to reading Mr. Freze's book. Upon reading it, I became rather disappointed with this publication. First, the table of contents had no page numbers listed! This book also has no bibliography, a list of references, or even a simple index! I have an extensive library on the subject of exorcism. This book appears to be quickly produced from a word processor with little professional editing. He only bibliography the author included was a list of his e-books he offers. A student who wishes a copy of the Roman Ritual can easily obtained it for free off the internet!

Seems inaccurate and unprofessional
First off I thought exorcisms are done in Latin, the prayers couldn’t possibly be accurate translations “awesome” is not a word from Latin exorcism prayers. Seems like inaccurate content.

D.I.Y. Exorcism Manual... Probably Not!
Not what I expected... But to be honest, I didn't know what to expect. It is interesting.
