The Seal of Confession and Demonic Knowledge

The discussion on whether demons can know the sins of individuals during exorcisms highlights the skepticism surrounding this claim. The argument suggests that demons would not have a reason to respect the seal of confession, as it is not a requirement mandated by God. The historical context of confession in the early church, which often took place publicly, supports the idea that confidentiality is more a matter of human prudence rather than divine decree. A survey of experienced exorcists could shed light on whether demons reveal any sins during their encounters.
