Unofficial exorcisms are reportedly being conducted monthly in the basement of a shopping center in Fátima, Portugal, offered free of charge. These practices are carried out by individuals excommunicated from the Catholic Church and associated with the Prelature of San Pedro y San Pablo. The Vatican, the Diocese of Rome, and the Diocese of Leiria-Fátima – which encompasses the significant Catholic sanctuary – have repeatedly cautioned against this group. The Prelature is comprised of clergy deemed illegitimate by the Church. Authorities express concern over the unauthorized nature of these exorcisms and the potential for harm or misguidance. The events continue despite official warnings, raising questions about enforcement and the appeal of these alternative religious practices. The Diocese has not commented on the specific location within the shopping center.
