When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it (again) until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you (that) from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. -The 5th Luminous Mystery

Ghosts and Demons


Question from Bob on 10/15/2007:

Dr.,

I was watching "Ghost Hunters" again and someone got knocked over by something invisible and it was caught on camera.

Now, I am sure the guy could have lost his balance. But, hypothetically speaking, can ghosts (damned souls, demons) hurt people physically? Isn't that called Demonic Obsession?

Thanks for your time.

Answer by Richard Geraghty on 10/21/2007:

Dear Bob,

Yes, demons can hurt people physically. It is hard, however, to judge any particular incident.

Dr. Geraghty

    My pastor and his wife, fine christian people, have said that demons cannot cross the bloodline. What do you think about it?
