I was raised Catholic too
I also have a lot of powerful ancestors who practiced magic (voodoo obeah etc)
As a consequnce I have to deal with with religious dogma, as well as the generational curses that were placed on the family by my ancestors enemies
I have dealt with psychic attacks before for other people a useful link is [

My ancestors protect me from most of this so I don't have to use psychc warfare in the same way that others do
My relationship to the Catholic faith is one where I believe that you can never have too much protection.
Use that to your advantage.
I must add here that I have an academic background (I have a degree in Science) so I let my faith go in order to be rational etc
I didn't believe in all this until strange phenomena happened to me and my ancestors were revealed to me
