 You know, we get the new studio, it's live, we get the new studio set up, it'd be great for you to be able to speak through the system into our ears because you'll be outside the room, actually. We'll have to do that. All right. So we're getting a new studio. Father, pray for us. It all works out. Okay. Let's just go ahead and roll out. Ready? Mark, set, go. The Stan Stephanie Burke with Divine Intimacy Radio, your radio haven of rest. Your hermitage of the heart. Your monastery of the mind where we lift our hearts and minds to heaven, to the wisdom of the saints to help us navigate the tumult of this life. And of course, the saints, the magisterium, exorcists, all of these avenues of grace help us to light the way. And today we're on our final episode with Monsignor Rosetti. You want to tell folks who he is? Yes, absolutely. So I didn't warn her. No, he didn't lie. Okay. So we are welcoming Monsignor Stephen Rosetti. He is the president of the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal and Research, associate professor at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. He is a licensed psychologist and the author of several books. Monsignor Rosetti has participated in hundreds of exorcisms. He is still very active in this ministry. And during his journey to the priesthood, he experienced a spiritual episode in which in two seconds, quote, he learned 80% of what an exorcist needs to know. He's also the founder and creator of the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal where there is an app for that. There's a website and an app where you can find prayers, resources and contact information. Many important deliverance and exorcism prayers are found both in English and Spanish, for the laity, priests and exorcists. So it's a great resource and you can find that at CatholicExorcism.org or CatholicExorcism in the App Store. Awesome. Welcome back, Monsignor. Great to be back with you both. And as I always say, awesome book on Diary of an American Exorcist, demon possession in the modern day battle against ancient evil. I will mention to folks listening, if you're listening in the time frame. So we're recording the show summer of 2021. In 2022, we have a spiritual warfare conference. Coming up. Coming up and half the seats filled right away, like within the first week. So if you're interested in getting that, go out to spiritualdirection.com event. You'll see all of our events out there. Monsignor Rosetti will be one of the speakers, Bishop Joseph Strickland will provide an opening keynote for the conference. But we'll have Father Chad Ripperger there too and Father Dennis McManus. So we're the, it's going to be the conference of conferences, I'll tell you. So and hopefully lightning won't, we won't have this a storm like the last time that we get hit by lightning three times, which killed all the power and all that. Actually we didn't get hit by lightning. All the buildings. The shrines. Right. No, yeah. I mean, we'd be dead. So or, you know, or not doing shows anymore. So anyway, so Stephanie, what do you, I know you're dying to talk about, you know, texting. So so father, we already know that our cell phones are kind of the scourge of our time. But you mentioned in one of your recent posts in it and here in the book that demons can text. Do they have phone? Do they have cell phones? What is that? What are we talking about? Well it's interesting. I mean, people, do people really believe that that demons and Satan are can be involved in our lives? I mean, the question, do you really believe it? And in the old days before cell phones, one sign of an infested house, for example, would be the lights that turn off and on, the TV's turn off and on, all sorts of gadgets would be affected by demonic presence. Well, now we have cell phones. And yes, demons can text. Now they've only done that to us in three different cases and all were rough cases. So the lower level deliverance cases, no, not usually, but in the higher ones. Yes. And we're not the only group that I know two other groups of teams, exorcism teams that have been affected by demonic texts. And what you get in the texts, you can tell the demonic, they're so evil, so snarky and it's just, you know, they're just trying to tear you down. Yeah, it's just crazy. I have to tell you an experience that Dan and I have, you know, we've mentioned before that we served on an exorcism team and the poor soul that we were serving, we could tell when she was texting and when she was texting under the influence of the enemy. And the reason we could tell was because when she texted, she had beautiful grammar, beautiful form. Everything was dear so-and-so, love so-and-so in letter form, beautiful grammar. When it wasn't her, it was a mess. Third person. Third person, grammatically a mess, just spelling everything. And we finally recognized the pattern after a while and realized that we were not speaking to her in her clarity when we were texting under that situation. So we quickly put an end to that and we would say, you know, we'll call you later, we're praying for you, please rest assured of our prayers and then we would be at peace and help her get back to a place of peace. So it really, the effect is quite remarkable. Yeah. Sometimes, by the way, it's not the person manifesting doing the typing, but sometimes the phone itself, for example, in one of our cases, the woman was manifesting and but the phone was away from her on the table and someone was in the room, a friend, and watched the phone start typing on its own, sending a message. Wow. Sometimes they can affect the physical world. They can throw things off walls, they can do all sorts of physical things, which people have a hard time believing, but you know, it's true. We don't have a hard time believing it, but you know, I almost wish that and this isn't, I mean, I say this, I'm serious and I'm saying it with reverence. I wish so many people could see what really happens in an exorcism because it's really common for people to explain it away, even devout folks and want to go to psychology. I mean, you're a psychologist. I don't know exactly your field and where you were trained in psychology and all that, but I maybe speak just for a second as a person who is not, you know, you're a man of science, you're a man of who's well educated outside of your realm as a priest. I mean, sure, and you're a testing to the reality of the demonic. Well, a lot of people who come to us who say they have demons, they really have psychological problems. I mean, that's part of my job. But there's a whole bunch of them in which you can't explain their problems psychologically and there are things start to happen. Things start flying around the room and you hear this demonic voice come forward. You start getting those texts and you just say, okay, this is not a psychological issue. And when we start praying over them, the demons only manifest, but eventually they get better. So you say, okay, you know, after a number of sessions, this problem is gone. That wouldn't happen if it was a psychological disorder. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. So another thing that we're seeing in society, we're seeing a lot of this actually go on and this is the idea of witchcraft, white witchcraft, you know, the dark arts, all of the occult stuff, the crystals, you know, all of these things. Talk to us about this idea of white witchcraft and is there such a thing as a good witch? Is it all bad? You know, tell us all about that. This is a huge problem. And I have a number of parents come to me and say, you know, my teenage daughter is practicing witchcraft and they're upset and they should be upset. And these, sometimes these young women will say, well, I'm a good witch. I'm doing, I'm only doing good things to people. And the problem with that is, no, you're not a good witch or just a witch. When we start using magic, it's an offense against God. You're not invoking God's power. If you think there's some special third party power, no. What you're doing is you're actually invoking a spiritual energy, which is probably coming from Satan eventually. And so your intention might be to do good, but the fact is, is you're aligning yourself with Satan. And you know, I've had a couple of people come to me who have been practicing witchcraft and for years, and it's very difficult to expunge the evil attached to them. You know, in terms of what the enemy tells these people, and I think this is important to understand, and you might have specific words that you're aware of, but the enemy tells them or when they are practicing and they feel some kind of good or in control or whatever. But the second the enemy wants to is done using them. You know, what happens? I mean, it always comes to an end and it's not good, is it? No. I don't know if I told you this story before, but again, a disguise story to maintain confidentiality, but a woman comes to me who her beloved grandfather dies or grandmother dies, and so she starts to channel this dead parent by using her non-dom and hand and doing this automatic writing. So the first six months you get these loving letters from her supposed grandparent. After about six months though, the letters went south, and then she realized it was not her grandparent she was talking for, it was a demon. So the demons will manipulate people, use people, suck you in, and then what you realize, you've got sadly an intense relation with a demon, which is hard to get rid of. Yeah, and you know, to that end, so that woman, what was her desire? Her desire was to talk to a loved one. You know, and I find so much in our society that, especially with our young women, that they're desiring good things, they want to feel some sort of control, they feel like the world is out of control, they want to feel good, they're looking for something, but they're looking in areas that are going to lead them to the demonic and can really bring them to their end. And just recently, I innocently went to a spa, I went to get a massage, I have back issues, so I went to go get my shoulders worked on, and I walk in there, there's crystals, there's a Buddha on an altar, I mean the whole thing is set up around the occult, and it's all under the guise of finding peace, finding some sort of serenity, but that serenity is a false serenity. Yes, I like the notion that when you have someone working on you, whether it's a masseuse or whatever, you ought to know who the person is before I let him touch you. Wow. You just worried her, Monsignor. No, I'm not worried. I'm not worried, but I may have you pray over me before I go. Yeah, all right, well, we're about to head into the break. We're with Monsignor Rosetti, Steven Rosetti, Diary of an American Exorcist, the book, Daemon Possession and the Modern Day Battle Against Ancient Evil, it's published by one of the best publishers on the planet, Sophia Institute Press, and of course you can find it out at spiritualdirection.com. If you hit the shop button, it'll take you to books, all the books that we've helped produce, and then this book as well, which we didn't help produce, but we're very happy to promote. When we get back from the break, we're going to talk about how America needs an exorcism, maybe, I don't know. We'll be right back. Okay, the market said, go. Ms. Dana Stephanie Burke, welcome back to Divine Intimacy Radio, why are you staring at me? That was just kind of strange. Was it? Yeah. Okay. Well, it's a strange show. What are you going to do? We're talking to Monsignor Rosetti, Diary of an American Exorcist, and yeah, so take it away, Stephanie Burke. You had a question about America and exorcism. Okay. Well, this is kind of a timely chapter as well, considering the difficulty and the pain of the last year. We actually have an entire video that was created for us for the Avala Army. You can go to AvalaArmy.org and see the video with a culmination of all these different scenes that all happened under the year of 2020. So does America, 2021, 2020, until now, yeah, until now. So does America need deliverance? Does it need an exorcism? Talk to us about that. Well, first of all, when you walk around and talk to me, there are a lot of good people doing great things like Dan and Stephanie and all the people who helped them. So there are a lot of good things going on. So I don't want to be too negative. And I love America. You know, I'm a veteran of the Air Force, and I love our country. Thank you for your service. Well, thank you, but it's a wonderful country, but it's not perfect. Now, we talked earlier about demon brain, and I'm starting to see some demon brain in this country. When you see the level of violence, for example, when people go into schools, shoot innocent children and teachers and kill themselves, the person might not be possessed, but that's clearly a demonic action. So the level of discord, Satan is called the cause of discord. The level of violence, of intolerance, of disunity, of isolation, suicides are rising. All these things are signs that this country is demonically oppressed a bit. And I say the Leo XIII prayers of minor exorcism for this country as much as I can at least daily. So this country needs people's prayers. You prayer warriors out there, pray for our country because we need to cast out the evil. Is there a prayer for the laity for that, Father? Again, go to the app, Catholic Exorcism, and you'll see some deliverance prayers there. But perhaps the best prayer to cast out demons is the rosary. Don't underestimate the power, why? Because it's our lady. Who stops on Lucifer's head more than our lady? So I would say don't underestimate the family rosary. It reminds me of this idea, and we experienced it in our work with Exorcism and with Deliverance Ministry and in our home. We've mentioned, I think on the show before, that we had somebody who was possessed who was not even able to come into our home. So they began to manifest in the back up. And when you talk about the rosary, is it proper to think that as we have our homes blessed by priests, as we live a holy life, as we pray that we're pushing back the darkness, is that a proper way of understanding it, praying the rosary, all of that? That's very interesting. You said that when someone's possessed, they got close to your house. They couldn't walk inside because when your house is blessed and protected and prayers, the demons can't stand it. That's not the first case I've heard of that. And by the way, another good story, which a possessed person was away from her apartment and I was in there by myself, so I blessed the place. I sprinkled holy water around it and exercised it. She comes in later, then later sends me a text and says, did you do something to my house? I said, why do you ask? She said, well, the demons hate it. I said, they still hate it. I said, what do you expect? I'm an actress. That's, of course, I did. I did. And so, yeah, I mean, there was concrete proof that demons ate a blessed house. And they hate blessed reality, right, the presence of goodness. Anything holy. They can't stand crucifixes. They can't stand holy water. They can't stand the saints relics. Any holy thing just makes them crazy and makes them suffer. So the next point that I want to ask you about is demons and tattoos. I probably shouldn't laugh because a lot of this is suffering, but our producer who happens to be my son has a St. Michael the Archangel tattoo on his right arm. I think you should tell him what you said the first time you saw the one across. When, so he, this is a brief side story, but we moved to Alabama. He was going to go into the military. He wanted to go in special forces and he, he said, you know, he knew it was hot. He was going to be working in the yard for us and he said, dad, I got to tell you something. I got a tattoo and, and he said, it's in Latin. I said, well, let me see it. And he, he, he showed it to me. And then he said, I said, well, what do you think it says? And he says, my strength comes from on a high. And I said, that's not what it says. Who told you that? And he, he had this look on his face like, what? But I was just messing with him. But anyway, regarding tattoos, just like with pornography is often cursed by Satanists. So it has a, you know, an even greater power than just the natural human I've heard or, and I think you've written about tattoos, artists who are Satanists, who are infusing, I guess, with some kind of demonic curse, the tattoos that really common. I've very recently, a group of young men had tattoos of a demon on their arm. And I've got the pictures of a common demon. And this is very serious. What you're basically doing is committing yourself like a, like a cow that's branded to these demons. That's really what you're doing. You're branding yourself as a, as a vassal of, of these demons. That's a horrible thing. Now, the good news is that there isn't good news is that on our app again, there's a prayer to decommission tattoos. Now, do we, do we want to have a tattoo of our lady on us? Well, I'm frankly, I'm not a fan of any tattoos, maybe that's because I'm getting old. But I would say, I mean, I have some reservations about any sort of tattoos, but definitely putting a tattoo of something demonic on your body is a very, very bad idea. And if you've done that, get rid of it, but go through that painful process and say that prayer to decommission tattoos. Okay. Um, so here's a fascinating one and you know, we, we kind of laugh about people being narcissistic or, or resisted or, you know, talk about it or whatever. Um, I know certainly it's, it's can be a, a form of, um, desolation to be narcissistic because it's the opposite of love. What is this? You wrote a chapter on narcissism is hell. What is that? Explain that to us. Well, Satan is the ultimate narcissist and sometimes in sessions, you know, I'll look at the demons and I'll say, you know, does, does Satan love you? Lucifer love you? Tell me the truth. And Jesus name. No, I said, does Jesus love you? And I'm going to say, yes. You know, I said, Jesus does love you. Satan doesn't care about anybody in hell. And those people are practicing witchcraft or all that sort of thing. Think that they're going to go to hell and say he's going to reward them. Say he's not going to reward them. He's going to reward himself. He's the only person he cares about. And he'll brutalize everyone for his own torture. Whereas God sacrificed himself in Jesus for us. What a difference. God loves us, gives himself to us in love, where Satan only takes. Yeah, yeah. I want to jump back to one about exorcism in America really quick. This is something I forgot to ask you. Do you find any demonic reality in, I would say, demonic political structures? I'm not trying to make a political statement, but as an example, I wrote an article for Crisis Magazine on the occultic practices of Black Lives Matter. The founders themselves, I'm not and I'm not claiming anything. The founders haven't been open about. They say they conjure the dead in their shouting out, say the name, all that. But in terms of just general, generally, are there demonic system, political systems or ideas or socialism or Marxism that come up in exorcism? And if they don't find, but I'm just curious. Well, there can be group possessions. And I there's some thought, and I think it's true that the Nazi High Command were probably possessed as a group and their desire to kill the Jews is something that would be very demonic. I mean, the Jews, Jesus was a Jew, Mary was a Jew. So the getting back at them would be a demonic. So yeah, groups can be by their fruit, you shall know them. If they promote violence, discord, hatred, then then they're promoting Satan's agenda. They may or may not be fully possessed, but they're doing Satan's will, not God's. So you mentioned Nazism. How is how is Satan's rage spreading? You know, how are we and again, not to not to put a wet blanket on everything, but this is true and we need to be aware of of how the difficulties happening. So how is it spreading? How can we protect our families? How can we protect ourselves from this? And how can be aware? Like, what are what are some of the signs? Well, I see so much anger today. I drive down the streets. I talk to people I sort of think I I can't believe the rage in people's voices and hearts, I find it very distressing. A sense of inner peace is a sign of God's presence. And so this is disturbing to me that that rage that's everywhere prayer again. I love that expression from Martin Luther King. He said, hatred cannot drive out hatred. Only love can drive out hatred. That he he understood the message of Jesus. And people sometimes don't like this message. You know, love your enemies, do good to those who revile you and abuse you. In other words, Jesus meant that. That's the only way to stop evil is the love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. Republicans, pray for the Democrats, Democrats, pray for the Republicans. We should be praying for everyone and forgiving and loving, even though people do bad things. That's the only way to conquer evil. We're so grateful for Monsignor Rosetti spending so many shows with us. You can find them all out at spiritualdirection.com also out on EWTN. Diary of an American Exorcist is the book, Demon Possession, The Modern Day Battle Against Ancient Evil. I want to mention one other resource for you out at apostoliva.org. That's A-P-O-S-T-O-L-I-V-I-A-E dot org. We have a discernment of spirits courses that are free out there for you to help you understand the movements of the enemy in your life and how they may or may not be affecting you in a kind of a normative day to day basis beyond it's not as extraordinary as exorcism, but certainly the battle that every one of us faces daily is with the constellation desolation. So if you're interested in that, head out to apostoliva.org and we'd love to give you that free course and there's no strings attached. So thank you again, Father Monsignor Rosetti, Father and Monsignor Rosetti for Diary of an American Exorcist and all the good work you're doing at St. Michael's Center. We're grateful for you. God bless you both and your entire team. Thank you. May the God of peace make you perfect in holiness. May he preserve you whole and entire spirit, soul and body irreproachable at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Father, can you hold on for a minute?
