About the Author:

Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1962, the fourth of seven children. He was ordained a priest in 1988 for the Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida and served in parishes in that diocese for twelve years before being given permission by his bishop to work full-time in pro-life ministry with Human Life International, where he has served as President since December of the year 2000. Fr. Euteneuer has been performing exorcisms for seven years with approval from numerous dioceses in the United States. His interest in the ministry was a natural outgrowth of his work in the pro-life field, which deals with the organized power of evil on a global scale. Exorcism has allowed him to combine both his years of pastoral experience with his expertise in the pro-life movement; and in the last several years, he has performed dozens of full exorcisms and many dozen deliverances on afflicted persons. Disclaimer: Father Euteneuer is not available to discuss or discern every spiritual issue that is raised by the readers of this book. Outside of his present prayer commitments, Father limits his ministry to priests or dioceses in need of consultation.

Review:

Excerpt from the book's Foreword by Fr. John Corapi: Fr. Thomas Euteneuer has performed a valuable service in giving us his book Exorcism and the Church Militant. Everyone seeking a more complete knowledge of the Catholic-Christian faith, indeed, reality itself, can profit from a careful and prayerful reading of this book. Priests especially should profit from this material, for it is my personal experience that the need for it has increased exponentially in recent years. Preparation for this dimension of spiritual warfare is singularly lacking in almost all seminaries, novitiates, or other Catholic institutions of learning. one of the reasons for this is that many such institutions have faculty that, from all indications, don't necessarily believe what the Church believes. This leaves a terrible void, so much so that it is often extremely difficult to find a priest with even the most rudimentary knowledge of this essential facet of priestly ministry. The effect on souls can be devastating. Hopefully this fine book will inspire many priests to equip themselves with the necessary weapons to fight for souls in this arena. --Fr. John Corapi

"A fascinating and thorough discussion of a topic that is particularly important to priests and those in pastoral work. The necessary warnings are given by the author. This is a subject that has to be treated quite carefully and I believe that Fr. Euteneuer has done this." -Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR --Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR
