THERE IS a part in the gospel that talks about two demoniacs whom Christ met as he was going to a certain place. (cfr. Mt 8,28-34) They were known to be so savage that no one could pass by the place where they were. The demons behind these possessed men readily recognized Christ for who he really was and asked what he would do with them. And since Christ would definitely free the possessed man of them, they begged that they be driven to a herd of swine nearby.
