Was the Virginia Tech Killer Possessed?
Was the Virginia Tech Killer Possessed? Friday May 4, 2007 Fr. Thomas Euteneuer of Human Life International, one of the foremost Catholic pro-life organizations in the world, has written a thought-provoking column: “Was Cho Seung-Hui Possessed?” He makes a compelling case that demonic possession played a role in the Virginia Tech massacre: The evil work that Cho perpetrated bears the classic marks of a possession that he cooperated in. Four clear signs of serious demonic influence were evident in his life and virtually assured that he would commit some kind of heinous crime against humanity in time. These are the devils tactics for the destruction of body and soul: isolate, distort, excite, plotand then kill. In our modern, rational world, discussion of demonic possession often makes people uncomfortable. Demons are seen merely as literary devices, a way to personify evil so perverse that we don’t want to attribute it to human action.
