VATICAN CITY — The Vatican formally recognized an international association of exorcists founded by Pauline Father Gabriele Amorth, an Italian priest renowned for his work in dispelling demons.
The Congregation for Clergy signed the formal decree June 13 approving the group's statutes and granting it “private juridical personality,” which recognizes the group's autonomy as an organization of Catholics not operating in the name of the Catholic Church, but as having some accountability to the Vatican.
The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, published the news July 3.
