Catholic exorcists reveal the 5 undeniable signs of real demonic possession that separate true cases from mental illness or hoaxes. In this gripping episode of The Dad's Doomsday Guide, we break down insights from top Catholic exorcists Msgr. Stephen Rossetti, Fr. Carlos Martins, and Fr. John, drawing from their real-world cases of hauntings, deliverance, and spiritual warfare. Discover the red flags they use in the Catholic Church's rigorous screening process: - **Fear of the sacred**: Violent aversion to holy objects, crucifixes, holy water, or sacred places - **Unknown languages**: Fluently speaking or writing languages the person never studied - **Hidden knowledge**: Revealing private, unknown facts about others' lives or sins - **Superhuman strength & phenomena**: Impossible physical power, levitation, extreme temperature shifts, or objects moving on their own - **The 'switch'**: Sudden, drastic personality flips, like a calm person turning feral in seconds Why does this matter? The Catholic Church investigates hundreds of possession claims yearly, but confirms only a tiny fraction as genuine demonic activity. We explore why possession is always a last-resort diagnosis, how it differs from dissociative identity disorder or psychological issues, and the exorcism rituals that follow.

In this Advent reflection, Msgr. John Esseff turns to the figure of John the Baptist and the call to repentance that prepares the way for the Lord. He explains that John stands at the culmination of Old Testament prophecy, announcing the arrival of the Messiah and calling all people to conversion. Yet Jesus teaches that the least in the kingdom is greater than John, because Christians carry Christ within them. This means the true tragedy is not simply breaking commandments but failing to live as Christ in the world. The post The 2nd Sunday of Advent – Building a Kingdom of Love with Msgr.
