Catholics are blessed to let Jesus get rid of our demons with Catholic Sacraments.

Question 1: “How are Victims of Protestantism described in Hebrews 11:32-40?
Answer: “St. Paul begins by describing God’s most faithful and obedient people: ‘I have not time to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and The prophets who by faith conquered kingdoms, did what was righteous, obtained the promises; they closed the mouths of lions, put out raging fires, escaped the devouring sword; out of weakness they were made powerful, became strong in battle, and turned back foreign invaders.’
God always helps His most faithful and obedient people withstand those who lie, loot, and kill their neighbors to get what they want.

Question 2: “Were God’s first Faithful People examples for later Catholics?”
Answer: “God’s Most Faithful People have been attacked by God’s enemies from Abraham to Israel, Rome, Britain, and modern Nicaragua: ‘Some were tortured and would not accept deliverance, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others endured mockery, scourging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, sawed in two, put to death at sword’s point: they went about in skins of sheep or goats, needy, afflicted, and tormented. The world was not worthy of them. They wandered about in deserts and on mountains, in caves and crevices of the earth.’”

Question 3: “For the past 2,000 years, which of God’s people have been most viciously attacked?”
Answer: “Those who live by The Church-Creating Word of He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies to His First Catholic Pope are hated by the most self-serving people: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”

Question 4: “Does The Bible give hope to those who love God and their neighbors enough to be Catholic?”
Answer: “Today’s Gospel is from Mark 5:1-20. It describes the strongest, craziest man in The Bible! ‘When Jesus got out of the boat, a man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met Him.’ He could not be restrained with ‘shackles and chains’. Jesus immediately saw what was wrong with him: ‘Unclean spirit, come out of the man!’ To begin the process of exorcism: Jesus asked ‘What is your name?'”
~
Question 5: “How did the ‘unclean spirit’ answer the question we may ask a demon in our mind, ‘What is your name’?
Answer: “‘Legion is my name. There are many of us!’ The unclean spirit pleaded earnestly with Jesus not to drive them away from that territory. ‘Send us into the herd of swine feeding on the hillside and let us enter them.’”
~
Question 6: “Would ‘unclean spirits’ rather live in the brains of pigs than be sent back to hell?”
Answer: “‘Jesus let them, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about 2,000 pigs rushed down a steep bank into the sea, where they were drowned.’”

Question 7: “Can one human mind have room for two thousand demons?”
Answer: “Those who understand that make the decision Jesus gave His Life to provide: ‘I will be as Catholic as I can.’”
~
Question 8: “Did people who heard what Jesus did to the demons ask Him to help them get rid of their demons?”
Answer: “No! ‘They began to beg Him to leave their district.’ Many governments and people choose to be ruled by demons among their tribes of pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth. Those ‘negative electrons’ form as many as 2,000 living, illicit desires within us who always want Jesus and His Church to leave them alone.”
