Catholics keep “the gates of hell” from “prevailing” on us.
~
Question 1: “Why do ‘unclean spirits’ keep many from obeying Every Word of Jesus?”
Answe: “The only way that ‘unclean spirits’ can stay out of ‘hell’ is by leading souls on earth to an eternity into that awful place.”
~
Question 2: “How many ‘unclean spirits’ can live inside one human mind?”
Answer: “Mark 5:1-20 tells us that as many as 2,000 ‘unclean spirits’ can live in one human mind.”
~
Question 3: “How did Jesus show us that?”
Answer: “Jesus asked the demons who lived in one human mind: ‘What is your name?’. 2,000 demons spoke with one voice: ”Legion’ is my name. There are many of us, please do not drive us away from this territory. Send us into that huge herd of pigs.’”
~
Question 4: “Did Jesus do as the demons asked?”
Answer: “‘He let them out, and the unclean spirits came out of the man. They entered the swine, and the herd of 2,000 pigs raced down a steep bank into the sea and were drowned.’”
~
Question 5: “How can we ask Jesus to get the ‘unclean spirits’ out of our mind?”
Answer: “Each of us may do Three Things that the man with 2,000 demons did:
- We may ‘prostrate ourselves before Jesus’.
- Ask Him to ‘not torment me’.
- Then, ask Him to tell the demons in us, ‘Unclean spirit, come out of this person.’“
~
Question 6: “What did neighbors do when they saw that Jesus made someone free of ‘unclean spirits’?”
Answer: “‘Those who witnessed the incident told their neighbors what had happened to the possessed man and to the swine. Then, they began to beg Jesus to leave their district.’”
~
Question 7: “Why didn’t they ask Jesus to get rid of the ‘evil spirits’ that overwhelmed their minds with self-serving desires?”
Answer: “There are two kinds of people. Some people want to be freed from ‘unclean spirits’. Others can think of no greater happiness than letting their ‘unclean spirits’ keep them as ‘unclean’ as they have chosen to be.”
~
Question 8: “What is the first step toward getting ‘evil spirits’ out of our mind?”
Answer: “Jesus Christ Spoke One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being. He gives these ‘keys’ to all who are in His Church:
‘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 9: “What do many Willful Protestants do when Catholics tell them what Jesus and His First Catholic Bishops and priests did to the ‘evil spirits’ who were driven out of people they ‘possessed’?”
Answer: “From then until now, they tell us to ‘leave their district’.”

Some things never change.

There are interesting ideas to read and share in the short Daily Columns. Many like the free books: https://catholicfundamentalism.com/our-books/
Catholics can give free links to books to our friends and family! Something unusual: Since these books are free, they cannot be bought.
If you like the free downloads, please consider a donation to your Parish or favorite Catholic Charity. And, donate some effort by sharing: catholicfundamentalism.com
The best book of the last Century is <em>“The Diary of St. Faustina”</em>. It lets each of us realize how much Jesus loves our soul. http://www.seraphim.my/divinemercy/diary/text/DiaryI.htm
A few of our free books are listed below. They are shared by Catholic Missionaries (who may include you) as anonymous as the unnamed believers identified by The Disciples of Jesus in <em>Luke 10:1-22</em>.
These free books are interesting. The anonymous author is an inventor with the unusual qualification of having over 160 U.S. Patents. He shares simple reasons to be Catholic.
<em>”Crats!”</em> is a <strong>very</strong> unusual novel. https://catholicfundamentalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Crats-Final-1.pdf
<em>”New Road to Rome”</em> is a simple Catholic look at The World and its History. https://catholicfundamentalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/New-Road-To-Rome.pdf
This look at “The Book of Revelation” helps us use our computer skills to understand the most complicated Book in The Bible! Catholics know more than we realize. We understand that every email we have written is also inscribed in our “Book of Life” that Jesus will read at our Judgment! https://catholicfundamentalism.com/the-book-of-revelation
The books are free. They cannot be bought. How often have you heard of that?
