Fr Euteneuer to leave Human Life International

It sounds a lot like what happened to Fr Frank Pavone under Cardinal Egan. He was asked to leave his pro-life ministry and become a pastor on Staten Island. Fr Thomas Euteneuer has been asked to leave his international pro-life ministry and become a paston in an unnamed parish in West Palm Beach Florida.

He is accepting this with grace an obedience, according to his Spirit and Life Newsletter, but it appears to me that he is being silenced. Many of his letters have called various bishops to task for supporting pro-abortion politicians. Maybe they have united against him to silence his powerful voice.

The entire situation looks eerily familiar. Fr Pavone settled his dilemma by forming his own religious order, Missionaries of Life. Maybe Fr Euteneuer should join it.

Abortion is demonic: Fr Euteneuer

“Abortion is a demonic industry,” he told The Bulletin. “Abortion is blood sacrifice of innocent blood to the devil. The clinics are like temples, the doctors are like priests, the medical table is like their altar. It’s a ritualized sacrifice. They have a dogma called choice, a hierarchy called Planned Parenthood, and guardian angels in the form of police guards that will arrest you if you try to stop them.”He said that there have been abortionists who have called abortion “their sacrament.” Fr. Euteneuer advocates prayer as a necessary step to successfully fighting abortion."
He said this again on "The World Over" last week, when he was describing his new book on exorcism. We battle not against flesh and blood when we fight abortion. That's why we must go in armed with prayer and fasting.

Fr Euteneuer says occult is on the rise

Fr Euteneuer warns that many forms of popular entertainment are portals by which satan enters souls.

“Most people with demonic problems have opened a door somewhere,” said Fr. Euteneuer. He cited the popularity of the occult in bringing people closer to demonic interaction, primarily through the growth of the New Age movement and other paraphernalia. He said that even Hasbro markets Ouija boards to children.

“I’m very set against Harry Potter,” he said. “It’s pumping into our children’s minds the language and imagery of the occult. It’s extremely spiritually dangerous.”

He also called attention to a growing fascination with the cult of the vampire, especially through the popularity of books and movies like Twilight, where the main character falls in love with a vampire.“

I predict that in the next 10 years or so, we’ll see an explosion of occult activity,” said Fr. Euteneuer. “The number of soft-core occultism in the form of things like Harry Potter, Wicca and the New Age is on the increase.

These are the gateways to the hardcore stuff. Ask any inner-city police department if they’re seeing evidence of Satanism. They’re organizing whole task forces to deal with crimes having to do with these things. As society becomes more faithless, this wickedness comes and fills the vacuum.”

This is where I get my aversion to books like Harry Potter, and the ubiquitous Twilight series. I trust priests like Fr Gabriele Amorth and Fr Euteneuer who have dealt with the devil in souls. They are speaking from experience, not personal taste. We should listen to them before someone we love is ensnared.
