The Making of a Modern Exorcist
Matt Baglio: The Rite Matt Baglio: The Rite

Journalist ​Baglio follows a Catholic priest through the latter's training to become an exorcist in this incisive look at the church's rite of exorcism and its use in contemporary life. Baglio began delving into the topic after hearing about a course at a Vatican-affiliated university, where he met and befriended the Rev. Gary Thomas, a priest in the diocese of San Jose, Calif. Thomas took the exorcism course at the request of his bishop and subsequently apprenticed himself to a seasoned exorcist. Keenly aware of the misunderstanding that abounds about exorcism through film images, Baglio sets about dispelling misconceptions and does so skillfully, separating the real from the imaginary in the mysterious and unsettling sphere of the demonic. Both Thomas and Baglio were changed by their exposure to the rite.

Matt Baglio: The Rite The Making of a Modern Exorcist

Hát, gyakorló katolikus létemre bizony terra incognita volt ez. Egy kicsit másképp nézek most a világra, mint két hete.
Ami meglepett: hogy nincsenek belőle flashbackjeim, rémálmaim stb., noha olyannak gondolnám magam, akit jobban megráz az ilyesmi. Valószínűleg a megírás módjának köszönhetem ezt: részletesek, de nem bombasztikusak az esetleírások, és mindennek az alaphangja teljesen bizalomtelt.
Nagyon örülök, hogy elém sodorta az Amazon/Bookbub/Gondviselés.
