Related: About this forumAfter performing 6,000 exorcisms, this priest says the devil fears him
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/after-performing-6000-exorcisms-this-priest-says-the-devil-fears-him-13101/Fr. Francisco Lopez Sedano is an 80-year-old Mexican exorcist. In the past 40 years of service, he has conducted at least 6,000 exorcisms.
And, he says, the devil is afraid of him.
Fr. Lopez told the newspaper Hoy Los Angeles (Los Angeles Today) that when the devil speaks to him through possessed people, he responds, I am nobody, but I come from Christ, your Lord and God and you leave right now I command you in His name that you go. Out!
...
First, he emphasized, the devil is a person and not a thing. He noted that Jesus confronted the devil many times and spoke to him. When speaking with a demon, one isnt talking with a thing, one is talking with a person.

There's a few other things he's sure about too, like possessed individuals being able to climb walls and even fly. Really! Or if someone gets possessed by the devil, it's because that person chose to let him in. Gotta love blaming the victim.
But I will give him credit for dissing astrology, even though it's for the wrong reasons.

He believes the "devil" fears him. That he disses astrology is a good thing for astrology.
