Gabriele Amorth was appointed as the exorcist for the Diocese of Rome in 1986, a role that would define his legacy as “The Pope's Exorcist.” Prior to this significant appointment, Amorth had an interesting trajectory. Born on May 1, 1925, in Modena, Italy, he came from a devout Catholic family. After serving in the Italian resistance during World War II, Amorth studied law and briefly engaged in politics, working with a future Italian Prime Minister. Yet, his spirit drew him towards a life of religious service, leading to his ordination as a priest in January 1951 after joining the Congregation of the Society of St. Paul.
