We read in the Book of Job that the Devil received permission from God to torment Job, and that God obliged the Devil to spare his life. > The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life." ([Job 2:6][1]) According to Catholicism is it at all possible for the Devil to kill someone? If yes are there any historical examples of this being done, either directly or indirectly as through an exorcism or diabolic possession? [1]: http://biblehub.com/job/2-6.htm
