||
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), LTh, DD
Dear Mark: Spiritual warfare is the battle waged by Satan and the fallen angels against God and His angels and children. St. Paul described this in Ephesians 6:10-12
Our first Pope, Pope St. Peter warns us in 1 Peter 5:8
Spiritual warfare can be found in our own lives in the form of harassment from demons (including obsession, oppression and possession). It is also found in our culture and in our nation as demons attempt to influence us through influencing politicians, cultural leaders and role models, cultural icons, musicians and singers, artists, writers, T.V., movies, education at all levels, the New Age and the occult. This is all to influence us away from virtue and from God. God Bless, Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
