Question 114 — The Assaults of the Demons

We now consider the assaults of the demons. Under this head there are five points of inquiry:

(1) Whether men are assailed by the demons?

• (2) Whether to tempt is proper to the devil?
• (3) Whether all the sins of men are to be set down to the assaults or temptations of the demons?
• (4) Whether they can work real miracles for the purpose of leading men astray?
• (5) Whether the demons who are overcome by men, are hindered from making further assaults?
