Did you know that pious monks can smell sins on other people? Especially those with sexual sins—they get to smell like rotting corpses—and then that stench attracts demons around them.
Quote:Sexual sin is one of the gravest offenses against the purity of the soul. It not only corrupts the body—which is a temple of the Holy Ghost—but also emits, in the spiritual realm, a putrid odor that attracts demons. Saint Padre Pio, a holy mystic and stigmatist, once encountered a man confessing lustful sins, and the spiritual stench was so terrible, he described it as "the smell of a rotting corpse." This spiritual foulness, though invisible to human senses, is all too real in the supernatural realm. It is the reason why sexual sins are among the most odorous and repellent before God and His saints.
St. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (Douay -Rheims):
"Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doeth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you...?"
Those who engage in mortal sins—especially sexual ones—emit a spiritual stench that demons can detect. Just as there is the "odor of sanctity" among the saints, there is a stench of decay for those entrenched in grave sin. This was confirmed by Fr. John Farao, a Catholic exorcist, who boldly taught: The Smell of Man Living in Mortal Sin Demon Can Smell Your Soul
You know, and this is what Satanists tell you directly, that when people are involved in serious sins (sexual sin, homosexuality, lesbianism, pride, occult, greed, psychic, drunkard, fornication, masturbation, porn, hatred, bad parties, drugs, bad parenting, infidelity to spouse, tattoos, unforgiveness, sloth, sins against the 10 commandments and 7 deadly sins, suicidal thoughts, revenge, sexual thoughts, swearing, immodest clothing, yoga exercise (posture is symbol of worship to Hindu Gods), lying, gossip, cheating in school, wife, or works, etc.), they smell spiritually, and demons sense that smell, that odor. Just like we say in Catholicism, there's an odor of sanctification as people get holier and holier.
Satanists tell us, because they talk demons a lot, that a demon can tell in a room that a person whose soul is seriously affected by mortal sin, they hover around them because they smell good to the sin of that person. That person is already in the camp of demons; they will just give the person more opportunities to sin and lead them farther down the road towards hell (by dying suddenly in a state of mortal sin).
(That is why regular confession is a must to restore the grace and remove that odor that attracts demons to bring pestilence, diseases, death, financial problems, business bankruptcy, marital issues, conflicts with children, accidents, curses, and other forms of demonic activity and oppression into your life.)
— Father John Farao (Exorcist)

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"
