Beyond Belief: Satan's Presence Then and Now

Is Satan merely a relic of the past, or a potent force in the modern world? This podcast examines Monseñor Cristiani's compelling work, "Presencia de Satán en el Mundo Moderno," drawing on scripture, historical examples, and theological insights to explore the reality of demonic influence. We'll analyze Jesus's own encounters with Satan, the numerous accounts of possessions in the Gospels, and the extraordinary cases documented in the book, from the experiences of the holy Cure of Ars and the "diabluras" of Lourdes to detailed examinations of possession in the 19th and 20th centuries. We'll also delve into the nature of Satanism, the psychology of the Devil and demons, and the ongoing battle between good and evil in our time.

Presencia de satã en el mundo moderno examines the presence and actions of Satan throughout history and in the modern world. The author analyzes biblical accounts of Satan's interactions with Jesus, as well as historical cases of demonic influence, including possessions and infestations involving figures like the Curé of Ars and incidents at Lourdes. Furthermore, the text discusses various forms of Satanism, ranging from implicit adherence to diabolical principles to explicit worship, and explores the supposed psychology of Satan and demons. Ultimately, the work posits a continued struggle between the forces of good and evil, with Satan actively working against humanity and the divine.
