Brother Carlos Oliveira
Carlos Oliveira is a Christian exorcist and a deliverance minister. He was born again in July 1989, after accepting Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He is the founder of one of the largest deliverance ministries in North America. He was born in Brazil and has been living in the U.S. since 1997. Oliveira's focus is on the subject of curses, witchcraft, cursed sites and cursed objects, and on the negative effects they have on people and the world. He is a reality TV personality, author, Christian motivational speaker, and singer." Controversy. Oliveira has encountered criticism  by religious skeptics, and Catholic bishops and priests, for his approach to deliverance ministry and exorcism; mainly because Oliveira claims he can perform an exorcism during a phone call with a client. Oliveira does not follow the Catholic dogma, or the Catholic exorcism procedures which would normally include prayer recitals (ex. "Hail Mary," and the "Athanasian Creed") along with prayers to saints. In response, Archbishop Isaac Kramer said, "When you perform an exorcism, it involves several prayers. It involves commanding the demons. It involves holy water. It involves other things… that you just cannot do through a computer screen ." Throughout Oliveira's ministry, he has run campaigns such as: ""Consuming Fire Campaign,"", ""Mobile Prayer Unit"" and ""Adopt Your City"".
