If the fallen angels were cast into hell, how can they possess a human on earth?

Only with God’s permission. They are still supernatural beings, remember.

An age-old question that has frequently been posed is why does God allow bad things to happen to people? If God is infinitely knowing, and infinitely powerful, then He knows everything, and can stop any bad things from happening, if He wants. So, anything bad that happens to anyone is with His permission. Why would this be?

Well, we Catholics have the answer to that. He allows it in order to bring about a greater good. We may not know, this side of heaven, what this greater good is, but when we get there, it will be infinitely clear and make sense! The best example of this principle is the crucifixion and death of Jesus, Who is God. Deicide. Killing of God. The greatest evil. Yet, it brought about the greatest good! Universal redemption for all mankind. The gates of heaven were reopened once again!

Hell is not a physical place in the sense that we understand physical places to entail, it is a state of lack of beatific vision: separation from God.

Demons are not “in hell” in that sense, nor are they, when possessing someone, “out of” hell and “in” that person… in fact, they are never actually PHYSICALLY present or constrained during the process of possession.

Jude 1:6:And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

If the angels are kept in chains how can they go around earth possessing people?
