Greetings Dandelion_Wine,

I too have read that. That is a good read. I liked their fairy tales better than Hans Anderson.

God Bless.

awesome book...every Catholic should read this one...will challenge your perspective and your notions of life, death, and where our place is. Demoniacal phenomena, diabolical possesion, and occult museum.... some new words to add to my vocabulary. It went out of print for a while and no one could touch it for less than $150.00 but it's availble again. I picked up a copy for $17.95. Its worth every penny....Godspeed....LukeSr

Greetings to those reading and or posting this thread,

The above book is a good book, however if the Warrens are accurately quoted in this book written by Gerald Brittle there are several points such as reincarnation that are in conflict with official Church Teaching. There are also other points of conflict regarding deceased human spirits especially in regard to the Official Church Teaching of the particular judgement. There are other points but these are the main two that I can think of off the top of my head.

God Bless.

Please share your thoughts on Killing Lincoln afterwards. I've been trying to decide about that one.

Greetings LukeSr,

Yes I will find it for you later today. I'll get the page no. for you. I got to find the book first it's buried under a great deal of books and papers, but when I find it I will post it to this thread.

God Bless.

The Gospel of Mark (Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture) by Mary Healy

A friend recommended I read Unveiled by Francine Rivers. She loved the book... I tried it out and wasn't impressed. The writing was weak at best... the story was interesting (of course! It's based on a biblical story!) but it just felt like poorly written fanfiction of the Bible! haha.

Anyway, I've moved onto a textbook. Too embarrassed to name it.

Hello LukeSr, are you reading this book again or is it the type of book that you have to put down because there is so much to absorb? or is it a scary?

Anyways, I have a few pages to read of "Looking for China: Reflections on a Silk Road" by: Judy Schultz.

God bless,

Greetings LukeSr,

I have been wretchedly sick the last two days and this is going on the third day. I have not forgotten you. When I get caught up I will look for that quote. I found the book, it was on my desk buried.

God Bless.

well, I lead a Substance Addictions Ministry and I've been studying Demonology for the past couple years looking for any possible relationship between the two but I'm reading it a second time because there is so much, as you say, to absorb. One of the facinating things is the distiction the Warrens make between spirit / ghosts and inhuman demonic spirits. The latter seem to lend itself to the fallen angels the bible speaks of. You may find yourself sorting it through what our Catechism teaches. Our fellow member Anathama Sit is bookmarking a spot for me about re-incarnation which is not something we believe.
In any case, it's a facinating read and in my opinion based on my own personal experiences and encounters, it's worth the time and I found myself relating to some of their experiences. As for the scary thing...I keep a container of Holy Water next to my bed...just in case !!

Godspeed....LukeSr

Greetings LukeSr,

I will say that there are distinctions between human and inhuman spirits. I shall go through the book more carefully and mark down what is contradictory to solid Catholic teaching. I think the Warrens are Traditionalist Catholics, though I am needing to do some reserach on this one. I am pretty interested in them and am doing some research.

I have been studying demonology as well. IN the things that I have seen and read, there seem to be quite a bit drug use where demons are involved. Though obviously not everyone who uses or is addicted to drugs is possessed or oppressed.

Keep in mind the teachings of the particular judgement.

Say a rosary too. Have frequent recourse to the Sacraments. If you are studying demonology I would suggest having a wise spiritual director. I am only studying demonology and involved in this only with the blessings of my spiritual director.

God Bless.
