Pope Leo XIV met privately with the International Association of Exorcists at the Vatican, as concerns grow over an increase in cases linked to occultism, esotericism, and satanism.

The group urged the Holy Father to ensure every diocese has trained exorcist priests and stronger formation programs in place.

Stephen Rossetti, chief exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., shares insights on the reported rise in cases — and explains how practicing the faith and avoiding harmful spiritual practices can help protect against evil.
