Comment on Hope's Question	Alex	Wednesday, August 24, 2011
Question: Just a comment for Hope who said to Bro. Ignatius "You had explained that abuse victims, especially rape or incest, could have demons hitchhike onto them." I just want to point out that exorcist Fr. Gary Thomas also says this in his book "The Rite." Fr. Thomas says that "80% of the people who come to him have been physically or sexually abused."
Question Answered by Dear Alex: Yes, sexual abuse is a favorite of the devil, and any abuse of any kind. The reason is that to encourage abuse of a person is a proxy abuse of God, since our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Sexual abuse is the most favorite, however, for in the sexual faculty we have not only the creation of life (something the devil cannot do), but much more we have an image of the relationship between Christ (the bridegroom) and His Church (the bride). The marital embrace holds a sublime and profound mystery of this holy union between Christ and His Church. Thus, the devil has a vested interest to pervert this faculty in any way he can, through rape, incest, molestation, fornication, concubinage, adultery, homosexuality, and other sexual perversions.
