Rite
Matt Baglio
Sperling & Kupfer 305 pages € 19.00
The tape cover of this book reads "The book that inspired the movie-The-Rite with Anthony Hopkins, with all due respect to the great British actor, perhaps as a marketing operation will work, but I find it reductive with respect to this text that I think clear and fluent exposition, intelligent and cultured nonstante the offender is confronted with a controversial topic. The exorcism, for many of us, is a medieval ritual, outdated, this book shows us that in reality, it is not at all, even the secular society still needs it. The story of a priest of the American province father Gery Thomas during his ecclesiastical career is called his bishop to Rome to attend a course on exorcism. So with much skepticism and faith, Father Thomas and us readers, in the chapters of the book, we deal with this mystery, we learn to understand the secrets devious "opponent" the devil. It 'an interesting route that starts from the experience of Christ (the first Exorcist) and ends with the study of the neuropsychiatric syndrome of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, dissociation, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, to name just a few of the mental illnesses that were once thought to demonic possession. In the book not attend somersaults accompanied by vomiting green which made famous actress Linda Blair, but of satanic cults, evil, the Dark Lord is going forth abundantly, because even if you are atheist you just give unìocchiata around, to connect to the intenet understand that "an opponent" is among us and is at work, his great strength? Convince yourself that does not exist!
