Rome Exorcist Says
Archbishop Milingo
"Brainwashed" The following is an English translation of the entire
article published in the Italian newspaper, Il Messaggero, May 27, 2001. |
"He has been secretly subverted
by a Roman family." ROME - “They have ruthlessly pursued him for two years
and they have completely coerced him.” This is the explanation that the
exorcist, Father Gabriel Amorth, “colleague” and admirer of Msgr.
Milingo, gives to the incredible report from New York. The Paulist priest
points the accusing finger at the Moon “sect” and at a Roman family
of his followers who gave the “coup de grâce” to the coercion
and have now disappeared with him in the U.S.A. According to Father Amorth,
famous for having done more than 5,000 exorcisms in Rome, Msgr. Milingo
“is no longer capable of understanding and willing.”
How
did you know of the incredible news about Milingo?
“I was
informed a few days ago by persons close to him.”
How could
such a transformation take place?
“Reconstructing the last
years in reverse, we have noticed that the Moon sect
 has
made a ruthless hunt for him. Even the persons involved in the coercion have
been identified, they have subjected him to brainwashing, in particular, an
Italian family which disappeared with him to the U.S.A. There were many of them
for some time plotting to drag him into their net with much astuteness and
premeditation. And he let himself be snared ...”
It is
difficult to think of an Archbishop being coerced ...
“They
got him in a moment of discouragement and depression. Perhaps he resented the
“kick out” he received from Holy Mother Church, he was worn down by
the struggle they subjected him to. He didn’t realize that he was a prey
for those who worked on him for a considerable time, and little by little, they
broke him down. Now, in my opinion, Milingo is beyond recovery. Also because he
is no longer approachable ...”
Really, are the followers of
Moon so capable of coercion?
“The adherents of this sect
have a deadly method for depersonalizing people. I have often been involved
with desperate parents who lost their son – disappeared in thin air and
ended up in the U.S.A. with this sect. I also know of wives and husbands who
were suborned and who left their spouses and children. There are psychiatrists
who are specialized in recovering such people ...”
What do
you mean?
“In the U.S.A. they are called
‘deprogrammers’, because they free the persons who have been
brainwashed. There are some who are specialized in treating those who have been
suborned by that sect. In some cases, it was actually the police who had to
‘abduct’ them from the Moon houses. As soon as they were
‘deprogrammed’ they returned to normal lives.”
What
has been your reaction to the news?
“I have been absolutely
stupefied and astounded that precisely he, an Archbishop, healer and exorcist,
could be able to fall into such a trap. It is explainable only in terms of an
absolute brainwashing. I known him for several years. He was a legitimate healer
and, above all, an excellent preacher who freed people from demons. We used to
kid each other in a friendly manner. He would say to me that I am bald:
“Father Amorth, you have a hair devil!” And I would respond:
“And you are black with rage against the demon.”
