The Catholic archbishop of Washington, D.C., Cardinal Robert McElroy, has just removed a prominent priest, Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, from his role as an exorcist within the archdiocese. Per NBC News, his decision comes as a result of public comments made by Rossetti that linked UFO sightings to demonic activity.
The archdiocese is also cutting ties with the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal, a nonprofit based in Washington that was headed by Rossetti. The archbishop noted that Rossetti’s comments “linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”
