Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire Ep 177 - The Saints Who Terrify Hell: Patrick O’Hearn on Spiritual Warfare and the Heavenly Warriors Fighting for You
Hell fears the saints. Men have forgotten this. In this powerful conversation with author Patrick O’Hearn, we confront the reality of spiritual warfare and the heavenly allies God gives us for the fight. Patrick’s new book, The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms, breaks open what every Catholic man needs to reclaim today: the saints are not passive figures from the past. They are trained warriors who continue to strike terror into demons and aid God’s people on the battlefield.
This episode is a wake-up call. We explore why demons recoil at the names of the saints, why certain saints appear in exorcisms, the role of relics, and the mysterious way in which the saints continue their earthly mission by assisting us. Patrick explains why Mary is the “closer”, why Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, St. John Paul II, and St. Carlo Acutis are showing up in modern cases, and how every man can build real relationships with the saints who want to fight beside him.
This episode challenges you to reject passive Christianity. To stop treating the saints as distant memories. To begin calling on them with confidence, asking specifically for their virtues, and living a life that strikes at hell instead of hiding from it.
If you need a reminder that heaven is not silent and that you are not fighting alone, hit play. The saints are real, they are near, and they are powerful. But their help depends on whether you reach for them.

Three Powerful Quotes From the Transcript
- “When Mary shows up in an exorcism, it’s over. The demons know it’s time to leave.”
- “The saints will take the places in heaven that the demons forfeited. That’s why hell hates them.”
- “If we don’t call upon the saints, we slow down our own spiritual growth. They are some of our greatest warriors.”
