Demons & Physical Laws	Shin	Thursday, September 25, 2008
Question: It seems that demons despite being physical creatures obey certain laws more commonly thought of as physical. They entire into houses through windows or doors -- so crucifixes are best placed there. They enter into a person through the nose and mouth, and can be expelled there. To what are we to attribute this? A certain spirituality to physical objects that obliges the demons to respect them as such when moving around? Or is something completely physical without spiritual attributes still respected? It would seem to be the latter, given the possession of objects. But what is the reason for it? To what degree is the spiritual reality similar to the physical?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Shin: Demons are not physical creatures. Demons are spirits, as are all angels. They have no physical body and are not subject to physical laws. Placing a crucifix above a door or window is symbolic; it is not because demons can only come through doors and windows. Demons can enter a house in any way they wish. Since they are not physical beings they DO NOT need to enter through doors or windows. They can come through the wall, or actually just appear in the house without going through a door, window, or wall. There is no physical restriction to a spiritual being as they are not subject to physical laws. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Dear Shin:

Demons are not physical creatures. Demons are spirits, as are all angels. They have no physical body and are not subject to physical laws.

Placing a crucifix above a door or window is symbolic; it is not because demons can only come through doors and windows. Demons can enter a house in any way they wish. Since they are not physical beings they DO NOT need to enter through doors or windows. They can come through the wall, or actually just appear in the house without going through a door, window, or wall.
