Screen snare

November 7, 2025

Quinton Amundson's column "Don't buy Hollywood's lies about Lucifer" struck a nerve. I used to be an ardent cinephile till the lockdowns occurred and I escaped. Today, the only "movie" that captivates me is the Daily TV Mass.

The "Prince of the Power of the Air" – propagandist-in-chief – is also the Prince of Darkness, and for the last 100 years his principal snare has been screens. They have a hypnotic quality that engenders a trance-like state making one malleable and easily assimilated. I can testify that Amundson's prescription of prayer, study and service is the only way to break out of this fog of unreality into the God of the Light of the World.
