Vatican Exorcists Slam Russell Crowe's "The Pope's Exorcist" as "Unreliable Splatter"
The International Association of Exorcists (IAE), founded by Father Gabriele Amorth, has condemned Russell Crowe's latest film, The Pope's Exorcist, as "unreliable... splatter cinema". The IAE claims that the film's plot, which involves a Vatican conspiracy, poses "unacceptable doubt" as to who "the real enemy is, the devil or ecclesiastical power". The group stipulated that its statement was made in response to the trailer and that it would be commenting further once the full feature was released globally on Good Friday (7 April).
