probably nothing good…

But just because a person might be wrong about x, the same person could be correct on y.
(It’s hard to be right all the time.)
 
I read a true book about an American Priest who became an exorcist for his diocese, and his “internship” under an exorcist in Rome. This guy had a waiting room full of people he regularly treated. All had been long since vetted, and a few had been seeing the exorcist for over 2 years or more. So one a day would be small potatoes for this Priest. [though he did take a day off now and then.]
 
Well… this is a church official who has officially reduced the credibility of the Church with his comments.
 
It’s easy to say something or other off the cuff that isn’t quite right and the context needs to be considered as well. Sometimes, it’s possible that a person never said any such thing to begin with.

I don’t doubt that Fr. Amorth has seen diabolical issues that have originated at least in part from persons going more deeply into the spiritual realm of yoga.

(The 70,000 exorcisms bit is a little far fetched, however. 🤔 )

Many people believe in the devil in theory but less so in practice.
 
I don’t know… claiming that reading fiction is diabolical is a bit crazy. And disregarding the undeniable health benefits of yoga in favor of an extreme religious position is a bit crazy as well… I’ll keep my family away from this ‘exorcist’ and his extremist views
 
Well, if you need an exorcism you’ll have to go elsewhere in any case. He died just last year. I enjoyed reading his two books.

Interestingly in his two books, I don’t think he actually made any particular mention of yoga. I don’t have a perfect memory but I did look a bit today.
