How do angels and demons influence our lives? In this extensive Catholic lecture and Q&A, Fr. Chad Ripperger examines the existence and nature of spiritual beings, the role of Guardian Angels, and the different forms of ordinary and extraordinary diabolic influence.

Beginning with the philosophical arguments for the existence of angels, Fr. Ripperger explains metaphysical, physical, and moral certitude. He then considers the testimony of Sacred Scripture, Catholic tradition, human history, exorcists, psychologists, medical professionals, and first responders.

Learn how Guardian Angels enlighten the intellect, assist our prayers, protect us, and help lead us toward Heaven. The lecture then distinguishes ordinary temptation from infestation, oppression, obsession, possession, and subjugation. It also explains the traditional signs investigated in possible cases of possession and the essential difference between psychological illness and preternatural phenomena.

The Q&A addresses spiritual protection, generational spirits, yoga, the occult, witchcraft, pornography, crystals, children’s imaginary companions, Latin in spiritual warfare, prayers against temptation, and why modern exorcisms may require years.

This presentation is educational and spiritual, not a substitute for competent medical, psychological, or pastoral evaluation. Anyone concerned about possible diabolic influence should contact a faithful Catholic priest and follow proper diocesan protocols rather than attempting to diagnose themselves or others.

🙏 St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
👼 Holy Guardian Angels, protect and guide us.
