Can the Demons Who Inflict so Many of us be Saved?

St. Ignatius makes the point that the first, great disobedience took place among the rebellious angels in Heaven.

Once these angels fell, they began to inject viruses into The Program, and caused the second disobedience with Adam and Eve in The Garden.

Since some of Adam and Eve’s children could be saved through Baptism and Blood, could some of the spirits reverse their polarity, repent, and rejoin He Who programmed them among the vast cloud of heavenly beings?

We know that when Jesus successfully prayed for the man with 2,000 demons that they were not saved, but were sent into a herd of 2,000 pigs that they promptly drove to their deaths in the sea. When those pigs were killed, what happened to the 2,000 evil spirits that had been sent out of the man? Did they return to Hell? Or, did some of them, like the man whom they had possessed, also return to Jesus and recognize Him as Lord of our world and theirs?

The Church has considered this question, and answers: “These beings, because of pride, did not return God’s love. God did not destroy them, but permits them a limited scope of activity. Their condition is permanent for no creature can turn away from the perfect good of the beatific vision once he has come to enjoy it, and no additional reflection could change the mind of a purely spiritual being who has turned away.”

We gain more by worrying about getting our own souls closer to God than to worry about those who have ultimately and finally rejected Him.
