Today is World Aids Day. Maybe we can keep all those who have died of aids or are suffering from it and people who are infected with HIV in our prayers…

How sad and how true.Yes, please pray for all those suffering. We, also, should pray for an end to the embrace of contraception. That grave evil is the reason we see so many sexually related problems today. Once so many folks separated love and sex it ushered in an era where anything goes. Today we reap the fruit of that mentality. We have accepted fornication, sodomy, abortion, immoral reproductive technologies, rampant divorce, AIDS, etc all that can be traced back to the wide acceptence of the birth control pill.
Agreed. Cart before the horse. If everyone is holy and obeying the moral law, these social “sins” would disappear.I am beating a drum no one wants to hear. I read so much about social sin, like corporate greed, or the insensitivity of government agencies. IMO, the real issue is personal holiness. If we reject the moral law, how will we ever want to do works of charity or obey the civil law?
If we want to change our culture, we better first accept we are not living as Christ expects us to live.
Actually you are reiterating something which was said during one of the most heavily written about exorcisms in Canada. Satan explained that often he does not have to “possess” people to bend their will - he said that when he can get a human to separate their sex life from love, he has made a major inroad in their persona and they are then “ripe” for other things. I remember being somewhat surprised when I read it because I hadn’t thought of it that way before.I am beating a drum no one wants to hear.

Very interesting. Do you know of any links that talk about that exorcism?Actually you are reiterating something which was said during one of the most heavily written about exorcisms in Canada.

If it was Satan speaking, why presume he speaks the truth?Actually you are reiterating something which was said during one of the most heavily written about exorcisms in Canada.

5. I know you say it’s not important to acquire a demon’s name. But I’ve read it is possible to make the demon tell the truth, to reveal its true name. Does the Catholic authorities have a database of these demons? Do they track their behaviour. Why are you so reluctent to release this list? Don’t be offended, I’m just curiousIf it was Satan speaking, why presume he speaks the truth?

It is possible to solicit the name of a demon, to ask what his function is, to ask what other demons he is associated with, to ask why they are in the poor person, etc. but this is done only in a solemn exorcism performed by a Catholic Priest, with the permission of the Bishop, in the name of the Church.

A fair question. I am no expert in demonology. I would imagine if the priest is doing an exorcism with the suport of the Church the demon would be compelled to answer truthfully certain questions. The priest would be a stand in for Christ.OK. How do you know he’s telling the truth? Do you believe anything he says?
