Spiritual Combat Tactics: Authority, Tradition, and Warfare Insights from Dr. Dan Schneider

Master the ancient weapons of spiritual warfare by understanding the vital role of ordained authority and the necessity of Catholic discipline.

Short Summary

  • Command authority rests in the ordained office, not necessarily in personal merit or charisma.
  • Holiness, virtue, and consistency—avoiding "pattern breaks"—are the primary defenses against spiritual entities.
  • Confession purifies the soul, effectively removing the demon's leverage, while exorcism is the final act of reclaiming the body.
  • Spiritual combat must utilize established, spiritual (ancient) weapons like the Rosary and adherence to the Church’s structure.

Dr. Dan Schneider, a combat veteran, theologian (PhD), and founding member of Liber Christo, details the battlefield conditions of modern spiritual conflict. This session explains how spiritual hierarchies mirror military structures, why clerical authority holds specific power over the demonic, and how disciplined personal piety creates an impenetrable defense system. This information is crucial for anyone seeking to understand and resist organized diabolic opposition currently amplified in culture.

I was told i had borderline schizophrenia, personality disorder, manic depression and a masker. I was also told i would be on medications for life. I surrendered my life to Jesus. He said I am healed by His stripes! 20 years no medications ❤

My cousin died young to a cancer as a 9 year old and before he died he said he’s not afraid because the place he’s going is good. He also said to his mom that there’s another person in the hospital room only he could see. Maybe it was an angel. But overall he was not afraid at all and told his parents to not be afraid as well.

I grew up Jewish with very little input from my parents, stopped going to temple after being bar mitzvahed. I married an amazing Catholic woman and we are raising our three daughters Catholic. Through going to church with them every Sunday, then after Charlie Kirk and listening to podcasts like this and Father Mike Schmitz I’ve decided to convert to Catholicism. We baptized our youngest daughter today and I started tearing up sitting in the pew with her on my lap. It’s a beautiful religion and I can’t wait to be part of it. Starting RCIA classes in the coming fall.
