What Can Demons Do? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. 

God Bless you. Have you found Fr. Rippergers videos helpful? I've had similar experiences and his works have greatly helped me..

​@@yeshua1stAlso the works of Fr. Vincent Lampert, Fr. Carlos Martins and Msgr. Stephen Joseph Rossetti, all very humble shepherds in the service of God and His people 🙏🏻 Thank you Jesus for your holy priests.

I actually have not seen any videos from Fr. Rippergers yet. I try not to search out videos on exorcisms or from exorcists, since the exorcism was very painful and traumatic to me. I rather focus on increasing my relationship with God and just loving him. Also @@yeshua1st , I would actually love to sit and talk about similar experiences if possible. I have never encountered anyone who also has had an exorcism, I guess because its not a great experience to have, and not something worth bragging about, so many people who would have them would naturally shy away from talking about their experience, myself included for a long time.

I am not sure if I have seen any of their talks, but I do listen to the talks of Fr. Jim Blunt, who is the exorcist that did the exorcism on me, March 22, 2012. Actually, I think that it started the day before, and I celebrate the anniversary on the day that it ended, because I want to celebrate the day that I received freedom vs anything else.

Thank you!

What? Can you say it in a simpler way so that I can understand?

Please watch the following video’s - the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. The Papacy can not be destroyed. Don’t call protestant’s Christian! Following padre Pio. God bless.

That is a significant duration for you to have sustained interest in potentially becoming catholic. Why wait? The stars aligning is self-serving, don't wait for perfection, aim for it.

If you grew up in the church, you surely were baptized and thus should not go through RCIA. RCIA is for unbaptized catechumens. Baptized Christians are meant to go through an adjacent / slightly different process.

@@christianwright8969 some churches have "Catholics come home" type programs, others do not. RCIA can be audited (participate without need of baptism or confirmation). Also due to some people not being well catechized as children may have poor dispositions and wish to learn everything they should have known in a convenient format. Plus you can support the other catechumens.

“The substance is only the painkiller, the pain is the problem” Sr Consilio “Depression has to be something you want to get over, a lot of people don’t because it means having to deal with reality” Sr Consilio Remember, Jesus asked the woman did she want to get well.

Fr Rippergers book for the laity.

I expect he must, at least in part, have looked to the Suma. It is not without reason that Saint Thomas Aquinas is called the Angelic Doctor. The Thomistic Institute has a channel on RU-vid. Father Pine has done work there.

This commentor speaks the truth. The exorcist movie was based on a true story of a guy who got possessed using that evil stuff.

It actually might be. I played it at .75 speed and it seemed much more natural. Idk, he does speak pretty fast already. He's a really smart guy and there are lots of great nuggets of truth in what he says, but I have to focus deeply to absorb when he speaks with such a rapid pace.

​@@pksnides13yeah he speaks fast and also abundantly hehe so probably they sped it up x1.1 or x1.2 so as to make the video shorter

Because nobody "lacks what it takes" Some people just have to work a little harder at it. Old Testiment:"for there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries."

@@DefendersOfWomen You found out Jesus is a real thing? That's amazing. You must tell me how you did that.

@@jamesof7seven Ok, but WARNING my story is pretty Lame compared to most Jesus stories...so here we go: I noticed at 21 yrs old that nothing seemed to be going right in my life the last few months(about 6 months). Nothing ever went right in my life, but now there was a noticeable increase in bad luck dating back to a big, ugly "fight"I had with my parents. I could sense the bad luck. Nothing went my way. Finally after 6 months I connected the dots & saw that God was trying to get my attention about my situation with parents. So I made up with my parents & felt the "bottom of the barrel" curse lifted. I decided to start reading the bible to learn what Gods ways are & to avoid sin & I started praying & I kept getting my prayers answered probably because I don't pray for selfish things. So I started reading 1 page of the bible a night & accepted EVERYTHING in the Bible as truth: Adam & Eve were the 1st 2 people & there is no such thing as cavemen; YUP! Adam & Eve lived to be 970 yrs old; YUP! If God can answer all my prayers, then he can do all these things in the Bible too! I once prayed; "what happened to the dinosaurs?" & I GOT MY ANSWER! ! ! The 4th Commandment says; "HONOR YOUR PARENTS FOR A LONG LIFE" He who "curses" their parents forfeit their own life; BOY, DID I LEARN THAT THE HARD WAY!

@@jamesof7seven all you got to do is invite Him into your heart & life via prayer.

@@DefendersOfWomen how do you assume no one thought to try that?

Is it reliable? No imprimatur? Who is Father Louis? Price is quite high for mere 24 pages paperback book. Be careful.

I think he meant people without such training who go on to pursue such. Not exorcists. Excorsists was just an example of those who do more holy work directly in that realm.

This guy writes like he talks, I find it difficult to follow along when he talks (mostly because he puts things aside, strays, and lingers too long), but in writing this style works beautifully. I really like his books. They are so easy to follow and understand.

😄

So control the emotions! To control the physical. And don’t utter words but impress it in your heart.

😂🔥🙌🏼

Truth!

Only a demon would oppose common sense public health measures to minimize the risk of spreading and contracting a devastating virus in crowded indoor settings. I'm sure you love killing off the elderly and vulnerable in your parish. So holy.

Yawn 🥱 More Protestant ignorance.

Not according to Vatican II …

So why are you here? Forces of evil do exist. Do you not agree?

Oh they are definitely fucking real bruv! 🎉

@@m_d1905 Not a disembodied force in the universe independent of human action.

A grown man. lol. So why is the 21st century so different, since it is so pleasant and trouble free?

Why are we better informed in this century since it is so f***d up? Can you answer?

I will pray for you.

Genesis, as taught by the Catholic Church, is meant primarily to teach theological truths. When we say the sun “went down” we don’t mean the sun moved, we just mean relative to us. As such, it is a figure of speech and there is no error. I hope this helps

@@megasquirrel7944 And I wish you a bit of enlightenment in your religious darkness.

@@fatstrategist My friend, that doesnt help at all. Thats just a dialectic intention to save the gospel. 500 years a go you would have said what s written in the bible is literal, then scientists found out the cosmos is different than assumed in the Hebrew Cosmology, and they said ok, its figurative. You will have to confirm that the complete Bibles content is man-made and not inspired by a god. That also counts for the man-made error rules about homosexuality. Reality sometimes hurt religious feelings. Have a great Sunday :)

@@user-hr8dx9qw4n Many of the church fathers (that is, about 2000 to 1700 years ago) did not view Genesis as literal. This is not a new concept.
