Reversing Apathy - The Slow Slide Away From God
The Evil Butterfly of Apathy, perhapsOne of the key problems for souls today is apathy. Apathy leads to what Pope John Paul II called a "silent apostasy" and what Pope Benedict XVI called "practical atheism." Simply "not caring" leads to a person to actions which manifest a new way of thinking. "Not caring" is a belief that will change the way a person thinks and, though it may begin with an apparent lethargy, it will eventually emerge as an energy against God and...

Reflection: On Blasphemy, Vanity, and the Language of Hell
St. Alphonsus LiguoriSt. Alphonsus Liguori, one of the great Doctors of the Church, is easily my favorite saint and ecclesiastical writer. Fifteen years ago, at a monastery in the northeast, where I spent five days in silent retreat, I discovered his Ascetical Works. In them I found a powerful and efficient and eloquent presentation of Our Lord's magnificent love for us. St. Alphonsus captures the meaning and power and essence of the great mysteries of our Faith, making the...

What is this new Devilry?
"What is this new devilry?"Many of the readers of this blog already know quite a bit about spiritual warfare. Many of our friends do not. At this time, it would be good to consider reading a book that thoroughly explains what the diabolical is typically up to, what Our Lord allows them to do, and what we can do to resist them and live a peaceful life. In these times, when the devil and his demons appear to be in their mode of final deception, this knowledge is key. In...

Raging Witchcraft in the States
From the author of "Slaying Dragons: What Exorcists See & What We Should Know" [Amazon]
It's not just the glorification of the Ouija board that should alarm us, but the rise in the acceptance and practice of witchcraft in our country, and the greater world as well.
One of the countless red flags is the fact that Ouija boards and witchcraft are essentially Satanic. The Ouija board is used by the curious and naive as a game, but it is used by the seekers and the practitioners of the...

The World is Doing Its Best to Get Possessed
So...
I could just post this story without comment, but what fun is that.
Don't forget: demons can push people sometimes.First, in 2016, someone thought they had accomplished something remarkable by putting the "world's largest Ouija board" on top of a purportedly haunted hotel in Windber, Pennsylvania. This was deemed worthy to be named the "Guinness World Record holder" for the largest Ouija board. See here.
However, in honor of the current global descent into superstition and...
