This of the place of angels and demons in our modern world will be held on Wednesday, April 17, at 7 p.m.

鈥淎 quick look at the Bible shows a world full of angels and demons. Angels carry messages from God, tidings of peace and joy, while demons attempt to foil God鈥檚 plans by spreading lies and sowing discord. The twentieth-century Bible scholar, Rudolf Bultmann, famously denied the possibility of believing in such creatures in an age of 鈥榚lectric lights and radios鈥�; meanwhile the Catechism of the Catholic Church declares the belief in angels and demons a 鈥榯ruth of faith鈥�,鈥� Dr. Vaughan noted. 鈥淚 look forward to discussing such beliefs with Father Gregory as part of the Catholic Studies Lecture Series.鈥�
