Question: I'm not Catholic and I'm a therapist who works at several teenagers in various school districts. a lot of these teenagers have begun practicing the Charlie Charlie challenge and supposedly something up a Mexican demon/ghoul. Many of these kids are culturally Catholic but they don't go to Mass or practice very rarely. I would like more information on the veracity of this challenge and whether it is demonic.

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), LTh, DD Dear Kate: I apologize for the long delay in answering. Father Fortea, one of the world's leading exorcists (from Spain) was asked this question, as reported by CNA/EWTN News, some excerpts below: Lima, Peru, May 27, 2015 / 04:14 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- ... Spanish exorcist Jose Antonio Fortea told CNA that the so-called #CharlieCharlieChallenge involves the very real, occult practice of “calling on spirits.” In an interview May 27, he warned that “some spirits who are at the root of that practice will harass some of those who play the game.” Even though the priest thinks that players “won't be possessed” necessarily, the spirit that has been invoked “will stay around for a while.” Fr. Fortea also warned that playing the game “will result in other spirits beginning to enter into even more frequent communication.” “And so then the person really can suffer much worse consequences from the demons,” he said. This "game" is dangerous, but what you can do as a school therapist may be very little to nothing. The school may not accept the analysis of Father Fortea even though he is a world authority. In your counseling of kids you might try to explain and to steer them away from this game, but if one parent complains you could be in trouble. Something you can always do is to pray for these kids. There are prayers in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below. At the bottom of that document are prayer for Professional. The Prayers to Pray on Behalf of Patient/Client/Parishioner may be useful to you. Also the Rebuking Particular Spirits-Proxy, found in the Proxy Prayers section, is a prayer I would use in your situation. The spirit to rebuke is the spirit of #CharlieCharlieChallenge, the spirit of divination, and the spirit of curiosity. In the part of the prayer to ask God to bring the opposite spirit you can ask for the spirit of "trust in God" and a "spirit of remembrance of the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, and a "spirit of living one day at a time (Matt 6:34) “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

Dear Kate:

I apologize for the long delay in answering.

Father Fortea, one of the world's leading exorcists (from Spain) was asked this question, as reported by CNA/EWTN News, some excerpts below:

Lima, Peru, May 27, 2015 / 04:14 pm (CNA/EWTN News).-

...

Spanish exorcist Jose Antonio Fortea told CNA that the so-called #CharlieCharlieChallenge involves the very real, occult practice of “calling on spirits.”

In an interview May 27, he warned that “some spirits who are at the root of that practice will harass some of those who play the game.” Even though the priest thinks that players “won't be possessed” necessarily, the spirit that has been invoked “will stay around for a while.”

Fr. Fortea also warned that playing the game “will result in other spirits beginning to enter into even more frequent communication.”

“And so then the person really can suffer much worse consequences from the demons,” he said.

This "game" is dangerous, but what you can do as a school therapist may be very little to nothing. The school may not accept the analysis of Father Fortea even though he is a world authority.

In your counseling of kids you might try to explain and to steer them away from this game, but if one parent complains you could be in trouble.

Something you can always do is to pray for these kids. There are prayers in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below. At the bottom of that document are prayer for Professional. The Prayers to Pray on Behalf of Patient/Client/Parishioner may be useful to you.

The spirit to rebuke is the spirit of #CharlieCharlieChallenge, the spirit of divination, and the spirit of curiosity. In the part of the prayer to ask God to bring the opposite spirit you can ask for the spirit of "trust in God" and a "spirit of remembrance of the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, and a "spirit of living one day at a time (Matt 6:34)

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day."

We will pray for you and for these student and all kids that are being seduced into this occult game.
