Certainly not everyone feels it is your failings that have led you there. My sympathies for your struggles, and I have nothing but kind thoughts. (I believe that most here intend good for you and to be helpful, even if you find it otherwise).

If you need a sympathetic (but likely not very helpful) listening ear, my inbox is always open. Until then, as I have said, you remain in my prayers.
I posted this post as a courtesy to those I consider friends on this forum. Not to be attacked by people who neither know my struggle, or my thoughts.

I certainly still consider you a friend.

Involuntary physical feelings and vile thoughts can be caused by demonic spirits and people using witchcraft, spells and sorcery against us as they work with the demonic spirits. It can even happen to us while we are in Church.

The story of Martyrs Saint Cyprian and Saint Justina makes this abundantly clear.

God Is Greater and He gives Us the victory, but we still have to be aware of what is happening.

"By The Sign Of The Cross All Magic Is Stopped, And All Witchcraft Brought To Nothing,"
• Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 A.D.)
(On The Incarnation Of The Word - 31)


"But we by the mention of Christ crucified put all demons to flight, whom you fear as if they were gods. Where The Sign Of The Cross Is, Magic Is Weak And Witchcraft Has No Strength."
• Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 A.D.)
(Life of St Anthony - par 78)
