Generational Spirits: Freemasonry
Hello Father, I've been listening to your podcasts on Freemasonry. I've recently found out about Freemasonry within my husband's (civilly divorced only-not annulled) family. How do I go about investigating this if I very strongly believe my 3 children are being afflicted? Their father is greatly against my Catholic upbringing of my children and this is very much a spiritual battle. If this is a result of a generational curse, do I have authority to pray specifically to renounce these ties over my children if he is technically still my husband or could I be making these attacks worse? Could I be afflicted by these ties as well if our marriage isn't annulled? Do parent-in-laws have authority to either pray over or even curse their son or daughter-in-law?
Thoughts on hypnotism
I’d love to hear Father’s thoughts on hypnotism. I know that sometimes it is used for positive medical purposes, and there are purely psychological explanations for the effects of hypnotism, but are there any negative implications of seemingly surrendering your will to another person? Is that a situation that the demonic could take advantage of?
Relics and Rosaries...
Fr. Martins, I have some St. Benedict medals that have been blessed and exorcised. When I intentionally fasten a blessed medal to an unblessed Rosary, does the addition of the blessed medal make the entire Rosary exorcised and blessed by the fact that both objects now touch? I ask because of pardon crucifixes and St. Benedict medals incorporated into some crucifixes. If it works for relics, why not a Rosary?
