Mexico Sees Spike In Death Cult, Demonic Possession, Exorcisms
breitbart.com
"The incidence of exorcisms and Satanic deliverance rites in Mexico has risen sharply in recent months, reportedly driven by the growth of the cult to Santa Muerte, a personification of death.
One cleric who regularly performs exorcisms, Pastor Hugo Alvarez, attributes the rise of demonic possessions to increased dabbling in the occult, including black magic, santería, witchcraft, sorcery, Satanism and especially the cult of Santa Muerte.
Alvarez, author of Deliverance: A Ministry for the Church, said that 'Santa Muerte is one of the trickiest and most dangerous practices, since they present a saint, but there’s a demon behind it.'
'Satan’s greatest deceit is making people believe he doesn’t exist,' he said.
According to José Gil Olmos, journalist for the Mexican magazine El Proceso, 'the cult of Santa Muerte is the most important popular devotion in the past half century, with no other devotion growing so fast.'
Estimates of the current number of Santa Muerte devotees 'range from 8 to 10 million,' Gil Olmos said.
Tied to violent movements and especially the drug trade, the Santa Muerte devotion has experienced prodigious growth in recent years, drawing a reaction from both political and religious leaders. Many of the latter believe that this new religious movement has added to Mexico’s rise in violent crimes as well as demonic possessions."
