An Italian priest recently noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdowns have resulted in a surge of requests for exorcisms as more people feel that their lives are "in the hands of a malign force."
During an international conference of exorcist priests in Rome, Fr. Gian Matter Roggio noted that there is a growing concern about the increased requests for exorcisms, The Christian Post reported.
"We have seen an increase in the request for exorcisms because the pandemic has made people more vulnerable to the idea that Satan or some evil entity has taken over their lives," Roggio, an exorcist himself, said.
"People have fallen into poverty, they found themselves suffering from anxiety and depression. They feel that their lives are no longer in their own hands but in the hands of a malign force. It's a big crisis," he continued.
