In 1974, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen stated that he intended to write a book about the demonic. But such a book never came to fruition. Now, some fifty years later, Sheen’s intended book has finally been compiled, all in his own words.

In On the Demonic, Sheen addresses the history of the demonic, how the devil manifested himself to Our Lord, how he has worked throughout the Church’s history, and how the Anti-Christ will come in the end times.

Though Sheen is not optimistic about world history, he is most optimistic about Jesus’ final victory: “There is one thing we do know. If Christ wins, we win!“



Perhaps the best-known cleric of his day, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen hosted his Emmy winning television show from 1951–1966 and authored dozens of books and countless newspaper articles and columns. On the Demonic is only the second of his books to be published posthumously. Sheen’s cause for canonization was opened in 2002.

Fr. Dave Tomaszycki currently serves as Priest Secretary to the Archbishop of Detroit.



“As with any struggle, it is important to know the character of one’s enemies and the strategies they pursue. Given that achieving eternal life is in the balance, such knowledge is supremely important in the struggle against Satan. So, Fr. Tomaszycki has done us a great favor by compiling in On the Demonic Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s wisdom about the nature of the Evil One, the signs of his activity, and our defenses against his wiles. In his lifetime, the Venerable Servant of God Fulton Sheen was renowned as an evangelist. Through this book he again offers us Good News—given what’s at stake, the best news—about the victory of Jesus Christ over ‘principalities and powers’ and how to make his triumph our own.”

Archbishop Allen Vigneron,
Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit
