Monsignor shares insights from his ministry and writing, offering a challenging yet hopeful message for Catholic evangelization and Catholic hope.We talk about the fear of the Lord, Catholic morality, and the “last things”—death, judgment, heaven, and hell—and how recovering this teaching can renew Catholic culture and help us engage in spiritual warfare with courage.

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on whether the Devil is a personal reality, a fallen angel stirring up rebellion, menacing the world, and tempting human beings to fall and lose their souls, or just a symbol for evil or division in the world, which some Biblical scholars have proposed. The answer becomes clear once one reflects on the Church's constant teaching about angels and demons, Jesus' own engagement with the Devil and the demonic in His public ministry, and the experiences of modern-day exorcists.-Support our Sponsor-Scapulars.com - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made.✨Be Sure to Like/Share/Subscribe/Comment @r4hpodcast- Connect with us! -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/r4hpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/r4hpodcastYouTube: ⁨https://www.youtube.com/@R4HPodcast⁩ Website : https://arrayofhope.org/podcast#thetruth #thedevil #demons⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Intro03:11 Angels & Demons05:30 Angels06:22 The Devil & Demons10:47 Scapulars.com11:46 Jesus Against Demons and the Devil15:08 Jesus tells us Demons and the Devil are real!16:26 Exorcists and the supernatural17:50 End
