Question: Hello, Brother, I know that the Warrens are wayward Catholics and their practices are forbidden by the church and scripture. However, in one of their cases, "The Devil in Connecticut," they claim that six priests, including three directly from the Vatican, could not free a man of demons, and worse, the 6 exorcists involved were terrified of the demons that possessed this man because these demons were at the top of the demonic hierarchy. Are you familiar with this case at all? If so, how much of it is true? Thank you, and God bless you and your ministry.
Question Answered by Dear Omar: The Warrens totally lack any credibility at all. I would not believe them it they said the sky is blue. If the Warrens were the ones who "diagnosis" possession, then that diagnosis must be considered suspect in my opinion. The Glatzel bothers sued the Warrens over this book for libel and other matters, and claimed that no possession existed. I do not know the disposition of that suit. A book purporting to tell the real story is planned, Alone Through the Valley. There is a website to tell their side of the story. There is also a wikipedia article about the case. I have not read the book, Devil in Connecticut, and as far as I know the book, Alone Through the Valley, has not yet been published. Thus, there is really nothing I can say about the book or the case specifically, other than to say that, in my opinion, when the Warrens are involved things usually turn out hinky. Speaking generally to whether or not an exorcism can fail, the answer is yes. Some people are never delivered even after many repeated solemn exorcisms. There is never a guarantee of success in any exorcism. As to higher ordered demons, if some priest is scared of them, then he must be a neophyte exorcist. It is not unusual for any experienced exorcist to have dealt with "high ranking" demons. This should not be a impediment to exorcism, but perhaps the scared exorcists ought to be replaced by more experienced ones. God Bless, Bro.

Question:

Hello, Brother,

I know that the Warrens are wayward Catholics and their practices are forbidden by the church and scripture. However, in one of their cases, "The Devil in Connecticut," they claim that six priests, including three directly from the Vatican, could not free a man of demons, and worse, the 6 exorcists involved were terrified of the demons that possessed this man because these demons were at the top of the demonic hierarchy. Are you familiar with this case at all? If so, how much of it is true? Thank you, and God bless you and your ministry.
