What Every Catholic Should Know About Spiritual Warfare
Share
We are in a spiritual battle. Do you know how to fight? Drawing from Dave's years of experience assisting exorcists, Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle start off a new season of Every Knee Shall Bow by discussing how much weight Catholics should give to the topic of the devil and spiritual warfare. They discuss how temptation is one of our biggest battles and how we can fight back.

The Catholic Church was given the grace of triumph and we can avail ourselves of that.
Quotation from St. Padre Pio
“The devil is like a rabid dog tied to a chain; beyond the length of the chain, he cannot seize anyone. And you: keep at a distance. If you approach too near, you let yourself be caught.”
