Are Exorcists Supposed to be Hidden?


Listen Later

There are quite a few that maintain that exorcists are supposed to be hidden, out of the public eye, but is that true? Should they be? What does the Church have to say about it? Is there any mandate stating they cannot be public?


Dan and Jordan Burke invite you to join them on an exploration of the ongoing debate surrounding whether exorcists should keep a low profile. Drawing from their own experiences and authoritative sources, they challenge misconceptions about the practice of exorcism and reveal what the Church actually says regarding exorcists in the public eye.

-Practical Reasons for Anonymity: Some exorcists may choose to remain hidden due to potential spiritual and personal safety threats.

-Potential for Pride: Public exorcists face temptations, such as pride, and must remain humble in their unique roles.

-Role of Authority: Church-related authorities and institutions like the Pope Leo XIII Institute confirm that exorcists are not required to be hidden.
