2. Father Michael Killian – “Nothing.”

3. Father Curtis Lander – “I don’t believe I’ve ever found myself in such a situation.”

9. Father Lee Migliori – “Satan doesn’t physically appear before us like you’re suggesting.”

10. Father Christopher Enright – “I can’t recall having ever thrown anything at the devil.”

11. Father Marcus Urbano – “Nothing to my recollection.”

16. Father Arthur Hensley – “The devil has never appeared before me in person.”

17. Father Francis Bastian – “I threw a car at him. I don’t know how I did it, but I did. I missed by about 10 feet and broke a mailbox. He was laughing at me and making bad thoughts appear in my head, and the cross pendant I was wearing melted. When he finally disappeared, I threw up.”

18. Father William Landauer – “I’m a bit confused. Is your question a metaphor for something?”

22. Father Paul McGowan – “I think you and I might have different ideas about what the devil is.”
