Q & A

Why is St. Michael considered the greatest angel in the context of the rebellion?

St. Michael is considered the greatest angel because he demonstrated unparalleled loyalty during the rebellion. Unlike other angels, he had no example to follow and chose to act with loyalty to God on his own, which is why he was entrusted with the leadership of the angels and the task of deposing Lucifer.

What role does loyalty play in the hierarchy of angels?

Loyalty plays a crucial role in determining the angels' proximity to God. Just as St. Michael's loyalty elevated him in the angelic hierarchy, the loyalty shown by angels during the rebellion influenced their position and role within the heavenly choir. Loyalty to God shapes the degree of their holiness and their participation in the divine acts such as the Mass.

How does the Eucharist involve the participation of angels and souls in purgatory?

The Eucharist involves the presence of angels and souls in purgatory, though their participation varies based on their holiness and the degree of grace they have received. Souls in purgatory do not experience the full bliss of heaven but can experience some effects of the Mass. However, not all souls in purgatory participate equally, as some are still suffering due to their unrepentant sins.

Why do souls in purgatory experience different levels of suffering?

Souls in purgatory experience different levels of suffering depending on the sins they committed. Those who committed lesser sins may not experience physical pain but feel the absence of God, while those who committed more serious sins endure physical pains related to their senses—such as cold, heat, or suffering tied to the faculties through which they sinned.

What is the significance of God’s dispensation of graces, and how does it affect the Mass?

God dispenses graces according to His divine plan, which is often beyond human understanding. This dispensation determines the level of participation angels and saints have in the Mass, as it is aligned with their degree of holiness. This also explains why some souls and angels are closer to the altar or the throne of God in heaven.

Why did God choose St. Michael over other angels like Raphael and Gabriel to lead the rebellion against Lucifer?

God chose St. Michael over other angels because of his unmatched loyalty during the rebellion. Michael had no example to follow but chose to remain faithful to God, making him the most loyal and deserving of the leadership role. His actions during the rebellion made him the closest angel to God, surpassing even other prominent angels like Raphael and Gabriel.

How does the practice of renouncing Satan relate to the rituals of baptism and exorcism?

Renouncing Satan is an integral part of baptism and exorcism. In baptism, individuals formally reject Satan and all his works, declaring their allegiance to God. Exorcism rituals are a continuation of this process, where a priest declares that the individual or place no longer belongs to Satan but to God, thereby breaking the spiritual ties with evil.

Why do some buildings, like the haunted hotel Father Winston stayed in, seem to attract evil spirits?

Some buildings attract evil spirits due to past rituals or sacrifices performed on the land, such as blood offerings or consecrations to spirits. In the case of the haunted hotel, human remains were found during its construction, and the building may have been consecrated to spirits, allowing them to claim ownership of the space, despite blessings or exorcisms performed later.

What is the purpose of consecrating land and performing deliverance prayers before construction?

Consecrating land and performing deliverance prayers before construction is essential to ensure that the land is declared as belonging to God, rather than any evil spirits. This prevents the spirits from claiming ownership and exerting control over the place. It is particularly important if there is any history of rituals or offerings to spirits in the area.

What happens if cursed objects are buried on land that has been consecrated to God?

If cursed objects are buried on land that has been consecrated to God, their power is nullified. The consecration and deliverance prayers break any satanic seals and remove the power of the objects, even if they cannot be physically removed. This ensures that the property remains dedicated to God and protected from spiritual harm.
