Is the United States Diabolically Oppressed? - A Diagnosis Attempt - PART I

This article, in four parts due to its length, is an attempt to diagnose the spiritual state of our country.  By piecing together the various moral deficiencies and examining their individual and collective gravity, I will consider their likelihood of contributing to a state of nationwide diabolical oppression.  As a result, this article may be a difficult read, as it is not intended to provide the way out so much as to help people see clearly how deep the problem is.  After that clarity is obta...

If This Exorcist is Correct, Here is a Clear Example of the Oppression

There seems to be a new uptick in diabolical activity, though that measurement is growing more difficult to judge these days.  One sad new example:  A Bishop performs an exorcism and the State restricts his Churches just two days later.

On Saturday, Archbishop Cordileone recited exorcism prayers where the statue of Saint Junipero Serra was torn down. This action by the Archbishop has been celebrated by very many people who are concerned about the state of our culture and the streng...

Matando Dragones: Lo que los exorcistas ven y lo que debemos saber
When I was a seminarian, I was expected to learn Spanish for priestly ministry in that Diocese.  I did get pretty far with my studies but never got to any sort of fluency in the language.  As a result, I now unfortunately kn...

Fire and Fury Abide

In a recent conversation with a monastic acquaintance, after the announcement of the horrid SCOTUS ruling, whose evil we know not yet in full, I thought I would share here some thoughts on the current moral state of our country.
One can wonder about the paradox of Satan's definitive defeat by Our Lord alongside the fact that he is daily achieving immense victories through the destruction of societies, families, and souls.  He does win a victory each time a soul is damned.

Considering the devil's ...

Can Damned Souls Possess People? - More to Consider

In my previous article on this topic, I addressed a concern that had been raised by some as to whether or not the souls of the damned are capable of possessing people.  As I pointed out, some exorcists think it is a reality while others think it is not possible.  St. Thomas and the Roman Ritual are quoted by those who oppose the idea, but exorcists who support this possibility/reality also reference St. Thomas and the Roman Ritual in defense of their opinion.  As we all know these days, the pro...
