Not sure if anyone has posted this, but it is very sad news. Father Gabriele Amorth died, he was 91. http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/world-famous-exorcist-father-gabriele-amorth-dies-at-91 Prayers for his soul.
August Queen of the Heavens, heavenly sovereign of the Angels, Thou who from the beginning received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, Humbly we beseech Thee to send Your holy Legions, So that under Thy command and through Thy power, They may pursue the demons everywhere, combat them, suppress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss. O Who is like God? O good and tender Mother, Thou will always be our love and hope! O Divine Mother, send Thy Holy Angels to defend me and to drive far away from me the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us, guard us and protect us. Amen. Mary Queen of Apostles pray for thy servant and son Father Amorth. O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for Father Amorth and pray for us.
Eternal rest. What a truly extraordinary man he was and what stories he could tell! I could listen to him for hours. So orthodox too. Such courage.Prayers going up! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele_Amorth
I think it is worth posting, in full, Fr Amorth's words about Medjugorje from your link, Odhran: Throughout the years, Fr. Amorth has embraced Medjugorje. He has called the place, “a great fortress against Satan.” The following is a September, 2011 interview on Radio Maria with Fr. Gabriele Amorth. Fr. Amorth was speaking before the backdrop of the Virgin Mary’s message of August 25, 2011, when she said: “Dear children! Today I call you to pray and fast for my intentions, because Satan wants to destroy my plan. Here I began with this parish and invited the entire world. Many have responded, but there is an enormous number of those who do not want to hear or accept my call. Therefore, you who have said ‘yes’, be strong and resolute. Thank you for having responded to my call.” “How bitter, how bitter was the last message of Our Lady of Medjugorje on August 25: ‘Many have responded, but there is an enormous number of those who do not want to hear or accept my call,'” Fr. Gabriele Amorth first commented. “Now look here; it is very sour, this balance. After more than thirty years! More than thirty years! Now if it is the pagans who don’t listen to Our Lady’s words, then that I can understand. But be you a Christian, it is not forgivable. Be you a Christian!” “Even priests and bishops don’t even want to hear about it. It is not that they went there and then made their decision fairly, after seeing things for themselves. No! They don’t even want to hear it being spoken about!” “The Gospel is so clear. It tells us how to discern! By the fruits you will know the tree! It has been thirty years that Medjugorje has given us fruits that are ultimately exquisite! Confession, conversion, vocations, graces of every kind! For more than thirty years!” the exorcist reminded on Radio Maria. “In the Old Testament, God sent prophets to warn of the betrayals of the Jewish people. Now, here to warn of the betrayal of the Christian people, also the priests, God sends us His Mother! It has been thirty years! Is it possible that people still do not hear? And as for those people who believe themselves to be intelligent by saying they’ll wait until the Church approves? They are fools!” said Fr. Gabriel Amorth.
I see the folks at 'Church Militant.com' have posted an 'RIP Father Amorth' article. Contacted them with that link, to illustrate that their strong resentment against Our Lady's call is utterly foolish and unforgivable in Amorth's eyes. Of course, they won't respond, but anyway!
And this link posted in first comment above is linked to even by the Drudge Report now: http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/world-famous-exorcist-father-gabriele-amorth-dies-at-91

I quoted Father Amorth on Medjugorje under churchmilitant.com's article 'RIP Father Amorth'. You'll never guess what? They deleted the comments. Unbelievable!
