Father Torres first said that angels, as spiritual characters that bring divinity closer, are somehow “in all religions, in all cultures.” And, in that sense, they are also in “Jewish and Christian culture and literature.”
So what is the problem? The exorcist warns that the problem is that the angels who “appear in the apocryphal books of the Old Testament are not angels revealed by God, but that they arise from popular culture.”
The danger of name to Los Angeles
“In most cases they become bad angels, angels who are demons. So, the problem is that the new era has taken all that tradition of pure spirits, from messengers of divinities and has been putting names,” he warned.
“By calling them angels, because they are nice to us, they are good for us, but it is not so. Out of the names Miguel, Gabriel and Rafael, we do not know more revealed names from Los Angeles”, Explained the Spanish priest.
Therefore, he stressed, “that trend, that popular culture of putting names to the Guardian Angels, to the private angels, or discovering new angels who are sometimes in the Tarot, or that are sometimes mostly with this technique of angels call, all that are very dangerous issues,” warned the exorcist.
“Because the angels are not being invoked that God has wanted to make us known, but under those names and that appearance of goodness, what is hidden are bad angels, who instead of approaching God and serving us as human creatures that we are, will separate us from God and will want to submit and master us to their will,” he said.
A advice before this tendency of the new era
In the interview with Ewtn News, the priest advised to separate “from those beliefs, that they return to the essence of what the writing reveals to us, of what the Church has taught us and educated us in the faith, that they have real devotion, a serious, beautiful, endearing devotion” towards the archangel saints.
“Towards Miguel, who learn to invoke him in the struggles against evil, that they have devotion to San Rafael, which is the medicine of God, who learn to invoke him in the pilgrimages, in the paths of life, in the difficulties, and that they have a devotion especially to San Gabriel, who was the bearer of the message of salvation to the Virgin Mary,” said Fr. Francisco Torres.
