It appears that there is less supernatural activity, but then, it was never exactly common, or it would not have marked out Abraham and Jacob, for example. Besides, if one believes more recent testimony, the modern correlate is apparitions of the Virgin, as at Fatima. On the other hand, there are now books that claim that angels are all around us, although not necessarily visible, so I suppose it remains a controversial area.

I am not sure that there is any extended description of the "descent into Hell".

Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate the feedback......

Asmodeus, it should be noted, is identified in apocrypha, that is, non- canonical, non- authoritative, extra- Biblical writing. If I remember correctly, he took a prominent place in Renaissance magic, which was fascinated with demonology, and the possibility of conjuring demons to do one's bidding. Of course, it is a good way to lose one's soul........
