Hi, guys —

  • If you persist in a state of mortal sin and it defiles you and makes you impure, can demons attach themselves to you and torment you?

Dear Anonymous —

It is possible to incur demonic obsession, oppression, or even possession by wilfully engaging in repeated mortal sins, although I should think it would be rare and I'd discourage you from getting too worked up about this possibility. If you are concerned, discuss it with a priest.

They would have heard a fair share of unusually bad sins.
