Century exorcist who made important contributions the effectiveness of exorcisms, much of which is due to his exorcism manual, Complementum artis Exorcisticae.

The loss of voice is one of the most frequent effects of demonic possession. Influencing our humors, devils can blur our senses and thus make us feverish, mute, deaf, and obsessed by internal images; in a world they make us sick with melancholy.
