“Invoking” the demonic

Someone once told me that by saying a demon’s name, you invoke it, or basically open the door to get possessed. So I’ve always been careful not to say any names (for any that I know). Is this true? Or is it dependent on intent?

Discernment of Spirits/ What to do when something appears

Someone I know is a victim of domestic abuse. One day, she was in the washroom, and felt something eerie. She looked in the mirror, she saw a girl that looks like her behind her, standing there bruised and battered, and when she took a second look, she was gone. Being a victim, how do you know if this is demonic oppression versus a “sign” to take action or a warning, rather? What should she do in a situation like this?

Is playing Dungeons and Dragons opening doors to evil?

I have had numerous family members and friends play D&D over the years. Back in the 80s I had a high school friend who played it and was into the role-playing. He seemed to go off the deep end. My husband and his brothers all played it as a game and they didn’t seem to be affected at all. Now, my son and son-in-law play the game online with friends. I just wonder if it opens doors to the demonic and what Father Martins experience and opinions are about this game.

Gary?!?!

What happened to Gary? Did he just run off and start terrorizing the city or what?
