Fr. Chad Ripperger explains how demons manipulate our emotions to control our minds — and how this tactic has been used in modern culture for decades. By habituating people to follow their emotions rather than reason, demons gain power and influence over thoughts and actions. Fr. Ripperger warns that true mental health comes from aligning our minds with God’s design and natural law, not by giving in to emotional manipulation. A powerful reflection on spiritual warfare, culture, and reclaiming reason in a world ruled by feelings.
