Maybe a little off track of the thread but…

I’m thinking if a demon/evil presence was to show up at a place like the Blue Army Shrine, it must’ve been one “bad son-of-a-gun”!

However, I’m sure there would be plenty of reinforcements available had spiritual combat been necessary! 😃

I’m thinking it would have to have been an idiot ;).
 
One woman fails goes off her meds in a gift shop and you’re running for the bunker? You guys are going to have to man up a bit if you want to get anywhere in the “spiritual warfare” business.
 
Becky–thanks for the update. Bro. Ignatius makes some good points. He still finds it safer to use deprecatory prayers, and I would have to agree.

Leif–thanks so much for your gracious response. Sounds like you’re growing wonderfully in the Catholic faith.

Fr. Chad Ripperger, FSSP, has some insightful homilies on demonology, which you can find here:

Scroll down to “Demons”.

He makes the very important point that we should never insult demons, because, in spite of their sinfulness, they were still created angelic beings, and still retain their superior angelic natures. They remain God’s creatures, in spite of their bad choices.

Jude 1:9: *Yet the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil in a dispute over the body of Moses, did not venture to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!” *

I believe exorcist Fr. Jose Fortea takes the same position.
God bless,
Christine

That is an interesting point, and I’m glad you made it. It is tempting to insult demons at times, and I have done it before, especially when I didn’t know any better. But Jesus Himself never insulted the demons He faced when He exorcised them from human beings.
