[@jun-fanlee6918]

@Boz Scaggs I said it was internal, as in a personal experience, which will likely never be observable by others. Many things are not observable by humans, or weren’t and then they were. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, or only exist once observed. You assume that I am spiritual because I fear torture, that is putting words in my mouth based on your negative opinion of religion. You say I admit I no have no rational reason to believe in god, yet I do. I have had spiritual experiences, just because they weren’t observed by you doesn’t mean they are invalid to me. So yet again you are putting words in my mouth. Your arguments are weak, you are narcissistic, fearful, ignorant and full of anger. So I reiterate, you need help, turn to the bible.

A very brave priest. Reminds me of a story my parish priest in college told about his mentor, who'd been ordained in New Mexico in the late 1940s. This priest's first parish was with an older priest in a pretty rural area, with a lot of big ranches. One of their parishioners was a rancher, and he told the older priest he thought one of his workers was possessed. This ranch hand refused to wear clothes or come back to their quarters to sleep and he would kill the sheep he was supposed to be guarding and eat them. This always reminds me of Fulton Sheen's admonition that two sure signs of possession are obsessions with nudity and death, and how one of the demoniacs healed by Jesus was found naked in the tombs, but I digress. The two priests traveled out to the ranch and sure enough, found the man calmly sitting naked at a little campsite he'd made for himself. None of the other workers dared to go near him. Rather than recoiling at the sight of the two priests, he just sat there, calmly, and the priests asked him his name, and he responded with this unnatural, still voice. The older priest, knowing the trick Fr. Lampert describes, asked him a question in Spanish. Now, this was someone with almost no education, someone barely literate in his own language, English. But he responded in perfect Spanish. Maybe that's not so amazing, surely he worked with Mexicans on the ranch, you might say. So the priest asked him a different question, in French this time. The response came in French. Then in German. Finally the priest asked a question in Latin, and the man responded in Latin. Eventually, of course, the man was exorcised and he was fine, but stories like these should always make us wary of how the devil is working at us in subtler ways, and you don't have to look far to see the impact he's having on our world. St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us!

I’ve seen patient who was reported to change her voice multiple times an this patient just transferred herself from the wheelchair to her bed without assistance when she actually never done it and when I said to her if I can pray for her she said “No! “ and that room was filled with violent wind.

Mental health patients can also be possessed. Sometimes the possession is being masked by the mental illness. A couple of my patients were. After they went through an exorcism, all the symptoms of the mental illness disappeared. The reason you don't hear about it is because the medical field has to follow HIPPA regulations which protect the privacy of the patient. The Church has to also protect the patient's privacy. Just like a priest cannot reveal what someone told him during confession, the medical field cannot reveal information about a patient without their consent.

[@shankz8854]

@@lindajnichols1628 doctors could absolutely reveal de-identified details. What you’ve just said is terribly foolish. I work in healthcare and I know dozens of doctors on a professional and person level. Not a single one of they would take seriously _any_ claims of demonic possession or exorcisms. That’s not to say a tiny minority of doctors but into it...but then, a small minority of doctors buy into anything including homeopathy. Demonic possession and exorcisms are not widely accepted because there is ZERO evidence of a sufficient standard - not just according to me - but according to any peak medical body in the developed world. If demonic possession was real the church would and should have an obligation to expose it and educate the world about it. They would easily be able to do this without compromising the privacy of victims either by de-identifying cases studies or by gaining the victims consent.

When I was twenty (I am 60 now) I was delivered from among others a critical spirit. I was not possessed, but this spirit would constantly insinuate criticisms into my thoughts. I was an evangelical Christian in a charismatic church. I did not have the eucharist or mass, at that time. Believers in Christ simply told the demons to get out. It was a profound experience for me. Afterward, I was not hungry and was very sleepy for two days. I no longer had that critical voice in my head. I'm not sure how I got this spirit, I did have many scary experiences as a small child with an angry father. The important thing to know is demons are not the adversary of God. God is not threatened by Satan. Satan is our adversary, not God's. Christ defeated Satan on the cross, for our sake. If you are troubled by demons ask God to help you and he will.

In Genesis, it says that God created .......and He saw that it was GOOD. God created the Angels and gave them the freedom of choice. Part of them chose not to listen to God out of pride, this is how Satan and his demons were "created". They are the fallen angels. Evil is the ABSENCE of GOOD. The absence of good is the absence of God. When God created Adam and Eve, humanity that is, He also gave us a choice. When they chose to listen to the serpent who was able to convince them to go against God, death, pain, illness etc came into the world. GOD is ONLY LOVE and GOODNESS.

[@gabrielcrawford8485]

Having studied cult and ritual abuse, it is important to distinguish Dissociative Identity Disorder from demonic possession. In cases of extreme abuse, one's personality can split to such a degree that it is like having one or more personalities that are not aware of one another. So, one can mistake demonic presence from a personality that split to survive terrible violence. When one treats the personality split like a demon then greater harm may happen, so the collaboration between the Church and mental health professional is crucial. Furthermore, in cases of cult and ritual abuse, or priestly sexual abuse, religious imagery and sacramentals are sometimes used in the abuse so the sacred object becomes associated with the trauma and abuse, so an extreme response to something religious may not be demonic but a trauma trigger. Again, this is another reason why one can mistake psychological symptoms for demonic symptoms.

[@MrMarkmill]

Dude if you read their literature they are one in the same...cia, fbi, lucifierian cults all know that your brain shatters after you've reached your peak of abuse. Then all those organizations conjure demons to be gate keepers of other personalities.

[@gabrielcrawford8485]

My point is that the literature says they are not the same. For the most part, peer reviewed sources do not hold a world view that allows for spiritual, rational, malicious creatures bent upon the destruction of humanity, but for those who do, practice and the limited literature attest that DID and demonic possession are not the same. In fact, the ritual of exorcism performed upon those with DID who are not possessed harms them. Such harm has a long history.

[@MrMarkmill]

@@gabrielcrawford8485 dude you're totally wrong..all mental illness can be healed and is all demonic in nature

[@gabrielcrawford8485]

@@MrMarkmill I'm curious how you've come to this conclusion? Could you point to Catholic magisterial teaching on the notion that "all mental illness is demonic in nature", or some peer-reviewed sources? Depending upon the mental illness, some may not be healed in this lifetime, but certainly people can learn to live with their mental illnesses. I'm considering two well researched and reputable peer-reviewed sources that disagree with you; first, the following: “Throughout history, Christians sometimes recognised mental illness for what it is; they loved and prayed for the sick, and cared them at home, in the parish and in the first mental health institutions established by religious orders. But at other times they misunderstood psychological disorder as diabolical possession or moral failure, and applied remedies that were far from helpful. (citing Cf. H. Koenig & D. Larson, “Religion and mental health: Evidence for an association,” International Review of Psychiatry 13(2) (2009), 67-78). Second, the catechism which perhaps implies what Koenig and Larson are referring to: "“Christians led the way in providing mental health institutions and services. But sometimes they shared in the widespread ignorance and prejudice towards the mentally ill and suicides. Nowadays the Church understands that “Grave psychological disturbances, anguish or fear… can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide” (CCC 2282). Perhaps the "ignorance and prejudice" to which the Church is referring are notions like you have presented: "that all mental illness is demonic in nature." Also, the Church, in Her wisdom, has mental health professionals involved in a team for the rite of Exorcism. It explicitly teaches that not all mental illness is demonic in nature, so this praxis also points to the fact that you are incorrect. I'm open to your sources however.

I’ve experienced such. I’ve been deemed logical, coherent and rational by multiple different Psychological professionals. I had dealt with such attacks for a series of months. I was not Catholic at the time but became one once I discovered these things were prone to Catholic prayers. I used them to combat these attacks. I eventually went to a church and had a priest perform prayer on me with holy water. I felt the heat and pain the “demon” felt from it when it hit me. It was a burning sensation from lukewarm water. Honestly, I’ve been a skeptic about such things in my lifetime. I was blessed then to have not be in a position (of power in the church to) where my skepticism could effect others. I understand trying to keep the church respectable and creditable but I don’t believe FAITH is rooted so deeply in “reason”. Faith is not a science. Point being, I believe priest (men of the church) are here to help us whether that’s talking, calming, comforting them, praying for them or (if they are authorized to) deliver exorcisms. I believe Christ calls men to his church who’s ability to humanize is greater than their desire to be credible. I think it’s arrogant to think the devil wouldn’t understand Psychology and use mass societal skepticism to his advantage. He is not stupid, he is actually EXTREMELY intelligent. I heard a man say if God builds a church the devil builds a temple next door. Give man too many doors and he won’t know which to pick. I think skepticism in these matters are due to man’s limited ability to perceive passed skepticism to his advantage. He is not stupid, instead he believes we are. I heard a man say if God builds a church the devil builds a temple next door. I think skepticism in these matters are due to man’s limited ability to perceive passed his own narcissism.

Who can, without a doubt, say that all mental illness is not demonically attributed?

[@joshslayer6493]

Via traumatizing events, chemical imbalance, substance abuse, physical abuse, sexual or emotional abuse, complications within the womb, injuries to the head during childhood can all lead to mental illnesses. Children that are raised with a parent who suffers from a mental disorder such as depression are 300% more likely to suffer from a mental disorder as well, most likely the same one the parent suffers from. So there are ways to prove mental disorders are caused from natural events, rather than supernatural events. However, from my understanding, there is no definite way to prove that a mental illness such as depression or psychopathy are caused via supernatural events, rather than it is based on faith and the texts of a book that was originally passed down via oral tradition, which naturally has mistranslations due to oral tradition being the worst way to pass down complex information through generations, and was written at least 30 years after Jesus' death. Mental health is a serious issue that faith and "demons" have no real conclusion towards. Real diagnosis is needed to address mental health issues and conditions, and a single diagnosis is usually not the final one. There's a lot of things here such as "what music or religious rituals do you involve yourself with?" Seems like a way to simply make someone believe what someone WANTS them to via fear tactics. If you have a mental illness or condition than you need to see a licensed psychologist professional and recieve an actual cure rather than bank on faith that has no definite proof of success.

I think all church leaders should recognize possession as a real thing that exists, especially when Jesus Christ himself dealt with it and he is the leader of all churches. How upsetting it is if a person approaches a priest/pastor with a spiritual issue and gets stared down like they are crazy.

The New Testament Greek word daimon meant spirit. Some were good, some bad. Eudaimonia meant happy spirit, blessedness, well-being. The spirited states of a person were their emotional states of mind or dispositions that dominate the person's thinking and behavior, sometimes even to the point of irrationality. The people with daimons that Jesus encountered could have had emotional and mental disorders that he cured.

Mental Health therapists use the DSM5-TR to diagnose mental health disorders. They look at their overall functioning in several domains such as social, emotional, physiological, cognitive, psychological, familial, vocational, financial, spiritual and onset and duration of symptoms. If a possessed person is able to function normally in these domains and manifests “odd” behaviors that are outside of their personality it would be the therapists responsibility to explore cultural and spiritual aspects of their life as well. Also the DSM-TR has included other considerations such as spiritual formulations such as possession.

[@apostlerfabian]

The Lord activated me in Deliverance Ministry after delivering me from 27 demons. The first level of demons that I dealt with were sin demons. Now I seem to run into more demons causing mental illness. I asked the Lord why is the church having problems in this area he said to me: 1. I showed all nations the problem and how to deal with it before their knowledge increased. 2. The Church lost it's ability to deal with these demons because my Spirit was grieved at the condition of my people. 3. He then had me to study these 3 words in light of the scriptures. a. Vexed b. Torment c. greviously vexed. When I was done searching these scriptures I am thoroughly convinced we are dealing with alien spirits that are to be subject unto us. 4. My people no longer work with my power and believe in the power of my name.( Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8;) No pun intended but am I the only one noticed that the blessed priest never mentioned the Holy Ghost nor The Name of Jesus Christ.

[@pugnacious1]

Be careful of what "voice" you think your hearing. WE have NO power. In fact, Fr Lampert has spoken MANY times about ALL exorcisms are performed by a sinful priest (NO ONE is without sin) in persona of Christ who is the ONLY deliverer of possession, in many different videos. Any Catholic exorcist knows "power" resides ONLY with God. Your 'innocent suggestion' is protestant pride. The goal of the devil has ALWAYS been to remove the hands that consecrate the Holy Eucharist. You should think carefully about that before you do the protestant baiting. You are accountable for it.
