Thanks KS. I did mention spiritual warfare back in the newcomers post. Don't remember which one. It was part of the homily for one of the Masses I went too.

Here is another good article about it written by Bishop Donald W. Montrose. He is the bishop in Stockton, CA. http://www.ewtn.com/library/BISHOPS/OCCULT.HTM

Thanks for the link on west side. I tried to check it out, but it blow out the browser on the video. I'll try it again later.

BTW, they are fundamentally flawed in their theology. In the salvation section. They state.

We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.


Wrong. We are saved by grace alone, which is by our faith and through our works.

Early Church Father, Clement of Rome wrote in 96 AD.

And we, therefore…are not justified of ourselves or by our wisdom or insight or religious devotion or the holy deeds we have done from the heart, but by that faith by which almighty God has justified all men from the very beginning (ch. 32:4).

He also wrote.

We should clothe ourselves with concord, being humble, self-controlled, far removed from all gossiping and slandering, and justified by our deeds, not by words (ch. 30:3).

WOW! maybe I should read more of his stuff.

Am I gossiping about my wife on this board?


Irenaeus, a Western Father, in his writings, Against Heresies, Book I, confirms the necessity of a life of love and holiness, as well as keeping our Lord's commandments in order to receive eternal life:


But to the righteous and holy, and those who have kept his commandments and have remained in his love…he will by his grace give life incorrupt, and will clothe them with eternal glory (ch.10:1).

Yes, my I am an amateur theologian.

I am amateur about many things. DB being one of them. Dealing with my wife.
