Brazilian bishop calls the devil “imaginary” while attacking consecration to St. Michael the Archangel.
Bishop Questions St. Michael Devotion, Calls for "Exorcism" of Homophobia
Bishop Vicente de Paula Ferreira, 55, of Livramento de Nossa Senhora in Bahia, Brazil, criticized the consecration of dioceses to St. Michael the Archangel.
In an August 8 social-media post, Bishop Ferreira wrote: “Are there theological justifications for consecration to St. Michael? One consecrates oneself to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Isn’t the devil that is being fought rather imaginary? The greater exorcism should be of homophobia, femicide, racism, crimes against Indigenous peoples — of this legion of evils.”
Ferreira’s comments came as dioceses across Brazil have been participating in “The Great Reconquest,” an initiative promoted by the Hesed Institute centered on devotion and consecration to St. Michael. According to ACI Digital, 34 Brazilian dioceses had been consecrated to St. Michael by August 11.

Brazilian bishop calls the devil “imaginary” while attacking consecration to St. Michael the Archangel.
Die Kirche wird nicht nur durch die Feinde von außen demontiert, sondern auch durch die Feinde im inneren, was viel gefährlicher ist.
When a 'bishop' humiliates the Archangel Defender of God's Honor and is a supporter of the sin of Sodom, it means he is on the side of the fallen angels.
Methinks the bishop does not know the meaning of consecration. Nor do the peoples he sites know who they are. If they did, we wouldn't be smothered in their initiatives. That the devil is imaginary means Christ is not real. If Christ is not real the the bishop is a grifter.
Gibt es theologische Rechtfertigungen Jesus zu folgen? Dies hatten sich damals auch schon die Schriftgelehrten gefragt. Wie diese sich entschieden haben und wie alles ausgegangen ist, wissen wir ja.
