Overview
Ever since our first parents were expelled from the Garden, mankind has lived under the shadow of a relentless spiritual conflict. The world, the flesh, and the devil continue to oppose the work of grace in souls, which means every Catholic must be equipped to recognize and resist the attacks of the enemy with clarity and resolve. Spiritual Warfare Q&A for Priests and Laity offers a sober, doctrinally sound roadmap for engaging this battle using the weapons Christ has entrusted to His Church.
Structured as an accessible question-and-answer catechism, this volume distills years of experience from the authors’ radio apostolate into concrete guidance for ordinary Catholics and clergy. More than six dozen questions, both theological and practical, address topics such as exorcism, the occult, magic, horror films, yoga, haunted houses, Freemasonry, and other modern avenues of spiritual danger. Grounded in Scripture, sacramental theology, and the teaching office of the Church, the book emphasizes fidelity to Catholic tradition, a disciplined life of prayer, and a serious return to the sacraments.

Clear guidance on the proper use of prayer, sacramentals, and the sacraments in resisting temptation and oppression.
Detailed treatment of contemporary dangers such as occult practices, New Age movements, spiritualism, and disordered media.
A dedicated section for priests that outlines their rightful role and limits in spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry.
Teaching and testimony drawn from Church documents, trusted exorcists, and orthodox theologians, presented in direct, plain language.

FAQs
Is this book suitable for ordinary lay Catholics, or only for specialists? It is written first and foremost for lay Catholics in clear, direct language, while still drawing on serious theological and pastoral sources. Specialists will recognize the depth of the material, but it remains accessible for those new to the topic.
Does the book promote curiosity about the demonic or sensational stories? No. The focus is sober and pastoral, aimed at equipping readers to avoid danger and grow in grace, not to foster unhealthy fascination. The authors repeatedly stress obedience to the Church, sacramental life, and prudent restraint.
What kinds of questions are addressed? The book covers doctrinal questions about the devil and fallen angels, practical issues such as cursed objects, haunted houses, and occult involvement, as well as concerns about media, New Age practices, and apparent spiritual phenomena.
Is there guidance specifically for priests? Yes. A set of questions is aimed directly at clergy, addressing their role in spiritual warfare, collaboration with exorcists, and the proper limits and procedures for pastoral care in cases of suspected diabolic influence.
Does it rely on official Church teaching? The authors draw from Scripture, the Catechism, magisterial documents, and the experience of respected exorcists and theologians, ensuring that the counsel given is firmly rooted in the mind of the Church.
How can this book be used in a parish or group setting? Because it is structured in a question-and-answer format, it works well for parish studies, men’s groups, or small communities who wish to review key questions together, discuss the answers, and make concrete resolutions for spiritual discipline.
