Stalking and sexual abuse Mary Sunday, March 3, 2019

Question:

Hello, blessings in Christ,

I think I've been under demonic attack since (and leading up to) my reversion to Catholicism three years ago.

Breifly, I was baptised into the Catholic Church as a baby but fell away. I became Christian in an evangelical denomination approximately ten years ago. At the time of my conversion back into the Catholic Church, and against my better judgement, I dated a man who turned out to be abusive. He lied about himself, was jealous and possessive, an alcoholic and sexually and emotionally abusive. He threatened violence and eventually threatened suicide when I would not resume the relationship. The relationship only lasted three months and it is alarming that the abuse escalated so far in such a short space of time.

I had begun attending mass as I wished to join the church and he would insist on on accompanying me despite having no interest in religion. During mass he would stand and sit at the appropriate times but would not engage in any other way and would mock people in the church, calling them 'teacher's pet' for things like praying the rosary before the service.

He accompanied me to mass on Easter day and when I went up to receive a blessing during communion he walked out of the church, later claiming to be so disgusted he couldn't stand to look at me. Literally turning his back on God at the holiest point of the mass on the holiest day of the year. I had not been confirmed then but took this as a sign to end the relationship.

I was stalked and harassed by him after ending the relationship. The harassment was sexual in nature but also included a religious element, posting a blasphemous DVD through my door and turning up at my church, in the pew behind me, sweating and looking extremely uncomfortable. I made the sign of peace with him that time, I don't know wether that was the right thing to do or not. I've had to move house to escape him but he still tries to make contact through social media and through other people.

I wonder if this is demonic in nature or simply a part of the psychological abuse intrinsic to all perpetrators of domestic abuse and only takes a religious form due to my faith.

There is much more I could tell you but that is probably for a different time. I would very much appreciate your opinion and advice with this situation.

Pax Christi.

Dear Mary:

I apologize for the LONG delay in answering your question. I glitch in our system caused me to not see your question until now. (4.9.19)

What you are describing sounds like your husband was afflicted with the usual psychological problems indicative of an abuser. I would say he has low self-esteem, is controlling, has an impulse disorder, probably saw domestic violence in his childhood, may have one of the anti-social personality disorders.

We shouldn't jump to a demonological cause, although it is possible demons were hanging around or even attached to him. Demon love to hitchhike on problems that already exist.

Our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Team will be praying for him and for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
