According to this Catholic priest and a monsignor (whatever that is), if you wake up with scratches that come in three, then you have been scratched by a demon. Especially if you are also experiencing problems with the apps on your phone with which you talk with other Catholics, then you are under a demonic attack, and you better call his team to fight off this demon.
Please don't laugh at this because that's exactly what the demon wants.

Quote:I woke up this week with some unexplained scratches on my right shoulder- too far apart to be an animal and I don't have a cat. "Ahh," it dawned on me, "it's demonic." Mine are very similar to the demonic scratches that one of our team members received about a month ago. These scratches are usually in three's, a mockery of the Holy Trinity. They are about 6-12" in length, although I have seen longer. They don't hurt and the person does not wake up when it happens-- more signs that they are preternatural.
Satan is trying to frighten us. Demons feed off unforgiveness, anger, arrogance and fear! Our Team's constant refrain, especially with the demonically afflicted, is: "Jesus I trust in you." Be at peace and trust in Him. Moreover, looking at the scratches, it proves how chained Satan really is and thus how powerless.
In addition to these preternatural scratches and bruises, demons regularly mess with our technology. Chatting with other Catholic online programs, we are all subject to the same unexplained, strange, tech problems that occur only when engaged in a Spirit-filled ministry. Nevertheless, our ministries always manage to go forward. God's Kingdom will NOT be thwarted by the Evil One. Again, it shows Satan's Kingdom has been destroyed and how powerless he has become.
The scratches are a trifle and tech problems are a nuisance, but the real danger is more subtle. In a more hidden fashion, Satan and his minions mess with our minds. They incite conflict, distrust, negativism, and discord. They prey upon our emotional weaknesses and exacerbate them.
Make no mistake: Satan was a high-ranking powerful angel. In his natural state, he could overwhelm, torture, and kill all of us very quickly. And it is certain that he would if he could. Looking into the "eyes" of demons during an exorcism I am always stunned by the murderous rage therein. It is beyond human.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
