You do not treat mental illness with holy water.

Absolutely not, but you don't treat evil with anti psychotics either.

You can’t play around with Satan because he don’t play.

I saw a woman in her 60s take the host in her hand and did not see her put it in her math and chew it. She walked out of church right after receiving the host. This was last Sunday. I sit in the front, so I am always watching people treat the Eucharist nonchalantly.
I wouldn’t put it past someone to steal a host and mess around with it, though. A few years ago, when the California Science Center featured a display made of “plasticized” real human bodies, a couple of women walked in near closing time and stole the plasticized fetus on display. I think they probably used it for an evil ritual.

No you don’t.
But according to liberal psychologist they have a pill to treat conservative’s paranoia.
I think I might through some Holy Water on her.

if his spirit is not right with the Lord,
will be guilty as he eats and drinks.
He does not understand the meaning of the Lords body.

Correct, and that is why Exorcists go through a rigorous process to rule out mental illness before doing an exorcism. If the subject is fluently speaking foreign languages that they never learned, show enormous strength, poltergeist activity, levitation, etc., then it is probably not mental illness.

. . . a couple of women walked in near closing time and stole the plasticized fetus on display. I think they probably used it for an evil ritual. Nah, they probably just wanted to make a really big King cake.

"Nah, they probably just wanted to make a really big King cake."That has to be the funniest post today!

There’s plenty of evidence for God in the universe, but none whatsoever for Satan before he is abstracted from the human mind.
In other words, Satan is to be blamed for evil, but not the mind of Man himself.
How convenient.

I had a classmate in high school who fooled around with satan. He was reading the satanic books. He sacrificed cats to satan. He wound up killing several people. I braced him in the hall of our high school because I thought he was trying to scare my girl friend. I looked into his eyes. It wasn’t just a sick mind. It was evil and I am haunted to this day.

no you don't and the Church knows that, but thanks for your input ;)
Father Thomas, for instance, works with a medical doctor, a clinical psychiatrist and a psychologist as he discerns whether a client is suffering from a demonic possession or from a mental or physical disorder

Wrong...
The devil’s greatest trick was convincing people he didn’t exist.

Since none of those things are possible, mental illness is all that's left as a diagnosis for the strange behavior.

If you don’t believe Jesus, you could perform an experiment with a ouija board, but I DON’T recommend it.

How do you know?
Because the sum total of my existence, experience and knowledge over the last 55 years, concludes it.
I wonder why you don't know the same?
