In this thought-provoking episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we delve into the fascinating crossroads between the Catholic Church and the paranormal. While these two worlds may seem worlds apart—one rooted in centuries-old religious tradition, the other often viewed through the lens of mystery and fringe science—they actually share more in common than most people think.

From exorcisms and demonic possession to miracles, apparitions, and the acknowledgment of spiritual realms, the Catholic Church has long engaged with phenomena that many would classify as paranormal. In fact, the Church was one of the first institutions to develop a formal framework for investigating unexplained phenomena—long before the term "paranormal investigator" even existed.

We explore how Catholic doctrine addresses spiritual warfare, the afterlife, and the existence of angels and demons. We also look at the Church’s process for validating supernatural claims, such as Marian apparitions or incorruptible saints, and how these processes parallel modern paranormal investigation methods.

Could ancient rites and rituals be early forms of spiritual protection? Is the concept of purgatory similar to reports of earthbound spirits or ghosts? And why do many paranormal investigators still turn to prayers, holy water, and religious symbols during intense investigations?

We’ll also examine how Catholic mystics and saints—such as Padre Pio, St. Teresa of Ávila, and St. John of the Cross—reported visions, levitations, bilocations, and other experiences that today might be categorized as supernatural or paranormal events.

Whether you’re a skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to reconsider the spiritual underpinnings of paranormal phenomena and how centuries of religious belief intersect with modern supernatural encounters.
