From Catholic Exchange:
Every diocese needs deliverance teams. I don’t say this lightly. I say it because I am experiencing issues pertaining to the diabolical with greater and greater frequency and intensity.
Over the course of the last decade, I’ve noticed an increase in spiritual warfare in my own life, which has led to the Lord sending me individuals struggling with or concerned by spiritual attacks. It started with someone who couldn’t seem to get to Mass because they became physically ill. After this, more and more people were sent to me—one due to disturbing dreams, another because of a “presence” in one of the rooms of their house (which I distinctly felt upon my visit), multiple people have been held down in the middle of the night by dark figures, another woke up with strange scratches on their arms. Furthermore, occult items are regularly brought to me, and my priest friend texts me with some regularity to request intercession while he deals with different situations pertaining to the demonic and occult.
