How to Protect Your Family from the Wiles of the Devil…
Discover Powerful Weapons for Your Personal Arsenal in the Battle Against Satan
The Enemy. The Accuser. The Evil One. How real is he? Do we really need
to defend ourselves against a powerful, preternatural opponent who conspires with
the world and the flesh to hinder our spiritual progress? How should Catholics in
today’s world view the Scriptural notion of personified evil?
Spiritual Warfare
In the provocative three CD set, Demonology: Satan’s Role in Salvation
History, powerful mission preacher and EWTN personality Fr. Clement Machado, examines
the existence of the devil in the light of Scripture, the Catechism, Papal Encyclicals,
the Fathers of the Church and his own experience as a Catholic Priest. With an impressive
depth of conviction, Father conclusively demonstrates the constant teaching of Jesus
Christ and His Church that spiritual warfare is to be taken seriously by every Christian.
And reminds us that the spiritual battle against our own sinful nature and the wiles
of the Tempter is inseparable from the battle of prayer. In fact, when we pray the
words of Jesus in the Our Father, the evil we ask God to deliver us from is not
an abstraction, but Satan, who does all he can to turn us away from prayer and away
from union with God.
Fallen Angels
Fr. Machado reveals through Scripture and Tradition, the undeniable reality
of Satan and the other fallen angels. And so our battle with sin is fought not only
on a natural plane, but also, as St. Paul puts it, “against the powers of darkness
and wicked spirits in high places.” In a psychologically oriented culture that denies
the very existence of the devil and even of sin, it’s vitally important to realize
that Satan is not a part of human nature, but distinct both from us and from the
sin he leads us into. And so it is a grave error to exclude the possibility of diabolical
influence, as so many contemporary Catholics are prone to do.
Spiritual Armour
A leading cause of Satan’s powerful presence in our culture, says Father,
is the decline in private devotions in these postconciliar times. In the powerful
concluding tape of this series, Fr. Machado shares the remarkable truth about satanic
influence in our lives, the dangers of taking on the devil directly and the most
effective prayers and practices given to the faithful by the Church to be powerful
weapons for your personal arsenal in the battle against Satan.

- The nature of Anti-Christ
- How the Book of Revelation is the climax of a long struggle in which Satan and
his angels have played a significant role
