Catholic
churches in Italy and Spain are reportedly increasing the number of priests
trained in performing exorcisms following a rise in occult practices.
The
diocese of Milan recently appointed seven new exorcists and the Catholic church
in Sardinia has sent three priests to Rome for exorcism training to deal with
the increasing number of people partaking in practices such as black magic,
paganism and Satanic rites, The Daily Telegraph has reported.
In
Spain, the Archbishop of Madrid also selected eight priests to undertake
exorcism training in May, according to the paper, to deal with an
"unprecedented rise" in cases of "demonic possession".
Increasing
the number of priests who can perform exorcisms also comes as part of efforts
by the Church to tackle self-proclaimed exorcists who perform unauthorized
exorcisms.
