Our Editorial Mission
We built American Exorcism to cut through the noise. Hollywood distorts spiritual warfare. Social media sensationalizes pastoral care. We provide clarity. Our mission is delivering accurate, theologically sound, and historically verified information regarding exorcism and deliverance ministry in Virginia.
We serve families seeking peace, clergy navigating canonical protocols, and researchers demanding facts. The topic of demonic affliction carries immense weight. It requires a high-resolution approach to truth. We do not publish clickbait.
Fabricated demonic encounters for page views have no place here.
How We Choose Topics
Topic selection relies on the friction our readers actually experience. We monitor the questions Virginians ask their local parishes. We track the gaps in public understanding of Archdiocesan guidelines. If a new Vatican translation of the rite drops, we cover it.
When a historical case like the Anna Ecklund possession resurfaces in popular culture, we provide the documented reality. We ignore viral ghost-hunting trends entirely. They lack theological merit.
Our editorial calendar focuses strictly on liturgical realities, pastoral protocols, and verifiable history. We look at the blind spots in mainstream reporting and fill them with canonical accuracy.
Research and Fact-Checking Standards
Spiritual warfare demands absolute precision. Sloppy reporting causes real pastoral harm. We verify every canonical claim against official liturgical texts. When discussing the frequency of major exorcisms, we cite diocesan reports or statements from appointed exorcists.
We reject anonymous internet testimonies. If we cover a minor exorcism of a place, we clearly define the specific faculties required by a local priest. We cross-reference historical claims with primary source documents or peer-reviewed theological journals.
If a claim can’t be anchored to a recognized church authority or a documented historical archive, we kill the story.
Corrections Policy
We make mistakes. When we do, we fix them immediately.
If you spot a canonical error or a historical inaccuracy, email our editorial desk at [email protected]. We review all correction requests within 48 hours. If we verify the error, we update the text.
We then place a clear, dated correction notice at the bottom of the affected article. Silent edits destroy trust. Accountability builds it.
Commercial Relationships and Funding
Running this publication requires resources. We fund our operations through carefully vetted advertising and select affiliate partnerships with theological publishers. This funding never dictates our coverage.
We refuse sponsored posts from self-proclaimed independent exorcists. We don’t take money to promote unapproved spiritual remedies. If an article contains affiliate links to a recommended book on spiritual warfare, we state that clearly at the top of the page.
The editorial team reviews books based on merit alone. We read it. We evaluate it. We publish our honest assessment.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions belong exclusively to our team. No diocese, parish, or religious order exercises prior review over our content. We respect canonical authority, but we operate as an independent lay publication.
Advertisers have zero input on our editorial calendar. If a popular deliverance ministry deviates from established church protocols, we report on it objectively. We owe our allegiance to the truth and to our readers in Virginia.
Content Updates and Freshness
Liturgical guidelines evolve. Pastoral approaches shift. We refuse to let our archives rot.
Our team conducts a full audit of our core theological explainers every six months. We check for updated statements from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. We verify that our guidance on contacting local Virginia dioceses remains accurate.
When protocols change, we update our guides within 72 hours. Outdated information in this niche leaves vulnerable people in the dark. We keep the lights on.
