>Demons Dare Not Speak Against Mary (Father Amorth)
In elder times, this day was sometimes called “Lady Day” in reference to our Blessed Lady’s “yes” to God with regard to the Incarnation of Christ.
Our Lady’s sanctity and role in salvation are highlighted by the the vanquishing power of Mary over the demons.
The chief exorcist of Rome, Father Gabriel Amorth, wrote an excellent book An Exorcist Tells His Story. It’s a difficult book to read, but it reminds you of the overarching reality that Christ has already and continues to crush the head of Satan.
Interesting fact: According Fr. Amorth and other exorcists, demons are not allowed to blaspheme the Blessed Virgin Mary. They curse the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and also the saints. But they never curse Mary and shrink back from doing so. The hypothesis is that Christ prevents the demons from doing this or that it has something to do with the prophecy in Gen 3:15 about enmity between Satan and “the Woman” who bore the Christ Child.
Interesting to consider, if you ask this Papist.
