The work of centuries would come to fruition in these speeches. According to the plan of Baal, the demon king, the demonic spirits had to join to the men of the church. They had to tempt them with secular power, money, and carnal pleasures to loosen their concentration on their God. The most precious prey were always God’s men, since it was very hard to obtain them. The spirits needed to exploit the clergymen’s weaknesses. They had to throw other gods at their feet to worship. Mammon had brought them secular wealth in the Middle Ages. The wealth also meant influence, which granted them privileges later.
This led to the rapid decrease of interferors, so the demonic army came easily by human bodies. The occult was not hidden anymore; it was a new lifestyle, and no longer a hidden ceremony.
