‘Satan walks among us and is smarter than YOU’ Pope warns ahead of Christmas

THE DEVIL walks the Earth in human form and will win any encounter – Catholic leader, Pope Francis, has warned.

“We should tell him, ‘go away’”

Pope Francis

In a chilling interview, the pontiff rubbished the idea Satan is a fictional being and instead possessed dark powers that tempt people daily.

He said: “I’m convinced that one must never converse with Satan – if you do that, you’ll be lost.

“He’s more intelligent than us, and he’ll turn you upside down, he’ll make your head spin.

“He always pretends to be polite – he does it with priests, with bishops. That’s how he enters your mind. But it ends badly if you don’t realise what is happening in time.

Pope Francis added: “We should tell him, ‘go away’.”

The Pope regularly refers to the devil when addressing followers at the Vatican and regularly hires exorcists to drive out evil spirits.

Many experts have rubbished the Pope’s claims Satan and the afterlife exist.

But accounts collected by The Near Death Experience Research Foundation has collected astonishing tales from people who said they were brought back from the dead.

One subject, called George J in documents, said he made it to heaven after he was hit by a car as a child.

He said: “I saw paramedics from above assess me. They were panicking because they thought I was dead.

“My spirit then departed and travelled to heaven, or a place where I was told ‘it’s not your time yet, you have to go back and do something important’.

“I begrudgingly returned while in the ambulance and feel a whole body pain like I’ve never felt before.”
