Amorth, however, believed the need for exorcising demons was so great he advocated all Catholic clergy should be permitted to perform major exorcisms without acquiring permission.

In 1987, Father Gabriele Amorth, the Pope's personal exorcist, an earthy, scooter-riding, humorous, practical man, visits an Italian village where a man is seemingly possessed by a demon. With the local priest, Amorth enters the room where the man is tied up. While exorcising him, using a Saint Benedict Medal sacramental, Amorth taunts the demon, challenging it to possess a pig; when it does, the pig is killed with a shotgun.

Bullet Train took about two and a half months while A Man Called Otto only took two months to go from theaters to DVD. We could see something similar to the Tom Hanks movie for this one. That would suggest a release date around Tuesday, June 13 or Tuesday, June 20. Magee, Tamlin (April 10, 2023). " 'Unreliable splatter': Vatican exorcists denounce Russell Crowe's Pope's Exorcist".

Amorth led a colourful life. As a teenager, he was part of the Italian resistance against the Nazis and their fascist collaborators. After the war, he studied law and was briefly deputy to the future Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti. These rituals encompass readings of the Psalms and Gospel, reciting of specific “exorcistic prayers”, holy water, a crucifix and the performing of the sign of the cross. Amorth is the ideal figure for dramatisation. He neatly embodies the archetype of the Catholic exorcist: the courageous man of faith who rescues afflicted souls from the Devil’s clutches.

Vatican II, an international conference of Catholic bishops held between 1962 and 1965, signalled a move away from exorcism as the church attempted to modernise. This archetype continues to be enduring. It represents a traditional form of spiritual authority seldom seen in our modern society. If an individual has the power to exorcise demons this can be seen as a validation of their faith, the Devil and God. If you’re not one to head to theaters, you’ll want to know when you can watch it at home. That means knowing when it’s on DVD and Blu-ray. As it’s only just out in theaters, the DVD release date isn’t set just yet. We need to look at other movies from the same studio to get an idea as to how long it will take for this one to come out.
