Once again, Dr.Gallagher ruled out Dissociative Identity Disorder.

He assembled a team of 4 Catholic priests, a deacon and his wife, and two nuns. While phone calls were being made to arrange this group, the most bizarre thing happened. That deep demonic voice of Julia's that came forth while she is in a trance, actually materialized itself over the phone lines saying once again "leave her alone, she is ours!" Dr.Gallagher stated, "Julia's trance presence was clearly associated with paranormal events". Objects would fly off of shelves exhibiting psychokinesis. She knew things about the members of the team's personal lives that she could not have possibly known. She spoke in Latin and Spanish, which she did not know. Her trance language was crude, insolent and blasphemous. During her trance she would often levitate six inches off the table and all those present could not push her body back down.

Dr Gallagher wrote, "any attempt to explain away an activity of Satan or the Devil in the Gospels is analogous to irrational skepticism about miracles."

He said, "most argue that cases of demonic possession are outmoded and superstitious and that these are ideas that the church should now disavow." He was correct that there are many cases in the Bible of people being demon possessed and these demons were removed by Jesus and later by his disciples. Once again, I personally do not believe that such demons have to be removed by an exorcism sanctioned by the Catholic Church. Scripture says that the name of Jesus is above all other names (Philippians 2:9) and at hearing it demons tremble (James 2:19). Calling out the name of Jesus causes demons to flee not sprinkling so called holy water on them.

Dr. Gallagher concluded: "Much superstition, exaggeration, fakery, and sheer ignorance have accompanied the history of both purported miracles and suspected diabolic activity throughout the life of the Church. The harm to the faith and the harm to individuals can be great, a truism never more evident than today. Behind these false traditions, however, as Pascal well grasped, lay the real thing, the originals from which the Frenchman well knew the counterfeits drew their false legitimacy. In this and every age, going back to the Gospels themselves, we refer ultimately to the consistent record of the healing and freeing power of our Lord Himself, on body and soul, as manifested to the unbiased mind. My task here has been to provide some guidance in discerning the counterfeit, but also in acknowledging the very infrequent but legitimate cases of diabolic activity. Contrary to what secular opinion facilely asserts, an objective medical view can confidently conclude that assaults by the devil, like genuine miracles, are rare but exhibit real scientific facts, verifiable to all who are not afraid to confront the truth."

I agree with Dr.Gallagher's assessment even though I do not necessarily agree with his solution. I know one thing for certain and that is that God exists and so does Satan and his demonic hordes. This case proves that without a shadow of a doubt. Remember that demons flee at the name of Jesus because it is the name above all names.
