Dear Omar:

I am horrified that you know about this book, and even moreso if you have a copy.

Kenneth Deel, who, thank God, has retired from deliverance work, is a very confused person. I made the comment once that he was essentially a good guy but his problem was that he hung around the ghost busting wackos, such as the Warrens and Fr. Ashcraft, that effected his judgment and his theology.

Father Ashcraft was the founder of "United Paranormal International. I criticized his Discussion group for purveying misinformation and allowing witches and other occultist into the group with their obviously erroneous ideas. The primary catalyst that began once of the worse defamation campaigns against me was when Fr. Ashcraft came on our BBS after kicking me off of his BBS. He joined our Spiritual Warfare BBS and then began trying to recruit people to his BBS through PMs. I properly sent out a warning to the  members of our BBS asking them to ignore Fr. Ashcraft’s PMs and why. He was kicked off our BBS.

In the course of that I also made comments about Deel, as reported below in our Detractor Malefactor blog. Our assessment of Deel on the blog is as follows:

Ken Deel is a buddy of Fr. Ashcraft and is closely associated with the ghost busting and paranormal investigator crowd. Mr. Deel has a radio show to which Bro. Ignatius was a guest on a couple of occasions. When Bro. Ignatius warned our BBS members about what Fr. Ashcraft was doing on our SPCDC BBS (Ashcraft was trying to poach our members in PMs, thus he was kicked off our BBS)), he also mentioned Ken Deel by saying:

Ken Deel is certainly more “Catholic” [than Fr. Ashcraft] but runs around with the Ghost Hunting crowd, Lorraine Warren, and other problematic people. His site and radio show is sometimes reminiscent of the Art Bell show. He needs to abandon the errors of the wacko crowd and focus on his Catholic faith

 ...

Mr. Deal wrote a book called, The Catholic Demonologist Handbook. On page 69 he states: “Little know fact, if you flat-line and die, you need to be re-baptized, partly because of the simple exorcism built into it.”

This is a heresy. The Catechism states:

1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation. Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated.

The veracity of Mr. Deel is in serious question, not only from his libels but from teaching things contrary to the Dogma of the Sacrament of Baptism.

I pray for Mr. Deel. Perhaps if he has ceased his associations with the nutball squad of "ghost hunters" he may return to his senses and restore his Catholic faith.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
