In this interview, Dr. Francesco explains St. Augustine’s clear teaching on demons — what the Church Fathers actually taught about temptation, infestation, vexation, obsession, and possession, and why the modern idea that “evil is just psychological” is dangerous. We talk about the real causes of diabolical affliction, why many priests stopped talking about the devil for decades, the dangers of folk practices and occult content on social media, and the hopeful path to freedom through a life united to Christ.
His closing message is simple and strong: adore Christ, love Him, follow Him, and obey Him — and do the same with Jesus and Mary. Live in the truth of the Catholic faith, and you will see the grace of God at work.
This is an important conversation for every Catholic who wants to understand spiritual warfare according to St. Augustine and the authentic teaching of the Church.
