Breaking with The Devil

Saint Alphonso Maria de Ligouri (1696-1787), founder of the Redemptorists, says in Moral Theology III:28 that if one wishes to break a pact with The Devil one doesn't have to feel bound to keep one's word, even if signed in blood. Rather, one must:

  1. Renounce and abjure any contract with The Evil One.
  2. Destroy all charms, talismans, writings, etc., connected with the black art.
  3. Burn the written contract if you have it or just declare you regret and reject it.
  4. Make restitution for any harm done, insofar as is possible.
