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."[9]

Throughout Oliveira's ministry, he has run campaigns such as: "Consuming Fire Campaign,", "Mobile Prayer Unit" and "Adopt Your City".
