You’re right. Fr. Welch, who used to be with HLI, has written about the demonic manifestations he experienced when praying at abortion clinics or homosexual demonstrations.

I have Fr. Hardon’s talk on this subject on tape. I should get it out and play it again. In fact, I have his whole set on Angels and Demons.

This would seem to characterize, for example, homosexual activists, abortionists, and other on the political left.

Yes, and anti-Catholic mothers as well. My husband and kids were visiting my very sick mother (an LLL, life-long Lutheran, but not a church attender) at the hospital, and my sister (who is not much into Catholicism, either) was there aiding her, but she was bossing me around so much (I gave her the benefit of the doubt and blamed it on stress), that our family took a break and went to the neighboring Catholic Church (just steps away), and we all said a Rosary together for "Gramma Murph." When we came back some twenty minutes later, my sister came SCREAMING out the hospital door, saying "Quick, hurry, hurry, mom is dying." We went in and the doctors and nurses were all working on her feverishly. Her heart had stopped. Took some time, but they got her back on her ventilator. My sister's response, was, "I should have let her ..." Through protesting, I was able to keep my mom on the ventilator for a couple weeks, but eventually, my husband and I hailed the pastor at the "Rosary" church for a blessing for my mom (as she was not improving), and Fr. said he could only administer the oils if my mom allowed it. Well, he *did* come and she *did* allow it, and after a day or two, when I came back to visit with my daughter, she agonizingly rolled over in her bed, smiled at me, and mouthed, "I love you, too" ... (for the first time ever). She passed away soon after that, but talk about the "power" of a Rosary. My husband mentioned my sister most probably would have let my mother go when her heart stopped, if it wasn't for the fact we were there as witnesses (to her behavior), and then at the Church praying. The Rosary and subsequent oils (not to mention our insistence on the scapular and miraculous medals being placed in her room at the onset) could well have saved her soul. In fact, I'm counting on it!!
