MILINGO

There is a Reuters report about Philip Pullella Vatican defrocks exorcist archbishop who married, which says Milingo lived in a secluded convent. This is not true.


He was living in a large villa in Zagarollo on the outskirts of Rome. There were two priests from the Focolare Movement who were also  living there with him. Also Madre Rosaria, the Superior of a Catholic religious community of men and women. There were a few members of this community who were also living there.

When I had to leave the Beda College in 2003 I lived with them for three months since I knew Madre Rosaria in Medugorje and had kept in contact with her.

It was always my wish to be close to her community and God granted it.

I would eat at the table with them and take part in their prayers often. From Zagarallo I would go by train to the Regina Apostolorum University of the Legionaries of Christ, where I was studying philosophy.

When I first went to Zagarolo it was a surprise to find  Mons. Emmanuel Milingo was staying there. I had read the newspaper reports about him.

At Zagarolo, the Vatican had permitted him to celebrate Holy Mass. He would also have his healing services there.He could travel freely all over the world.

He had written many books about his ministry and so was well known. People from all over Italy would bring relatives whom they thought were possessed to be healed by the Archbishop.

I think most or all of them were disappointed. I never knew anyone who was healed by the Archbishop.
