Maybe, test the spirits, by their fruits you will know them.
Pine needle tea worked for me.
Not sure about the Wild Bill reference (killed by a catholic?), but you make me regret not buying a replica colt when I was offered one. such a cool gun.
My mistake on that reference. I typed Hickok but meant Donovan. "Wild Bill" Donovan, a devout Irish Catholic, was head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) from 1942-1945.
Think Operation Paperclip and the alliances with the Red Cross and the Roman Catholic Church which were instrumental in pulling that operation off.
The OSS added many Nazi officers to its ranks before the war ended and its transformation into the CIA. The Nazis were allied with the Roman Catholic Church and the Church has never renounced that alliance. In fact, the Lateran Treaty is still in effect.

A Pope and a President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century
Here's the Amazon review -
Named a World magazine “Book of the Year”!
A Singular Bond That Changed History
Even as historians credit Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II with hastening the end of the Cold War, they have failed to recognize the depth or significance of the bond that developed between the two leaders.
Acclaimed scholar and bestselling author Paul Kengor changes that. In this fascinating book, he reveals a singular bond—which included a spiritual connection between the Catholic pope and the Protestant president—that drove the two men to confront what they knew to be the great evil of the twentieth century: Soviet communism.
Reagan and John Paul II almost didn’t have the opportunity to forge this relationship: just six weeks apart in the spring of 1981, they took bullets from would-be assassins. But their strikingly similar near-death experiences brought them close together—to Moscow’s dismay.
A Pope and a President is the product of years of research. Based on Kengor’s tireless archival digging and his unique access to Reagan insiders, the book reveals:
The inside story on the 1982 meeting where the president and the pope confided their conviction that God had spared their lives for the purpose of defeating communism
Captivating new information on the attempt on John Paul II’s life, including a previously unreported secret CIA investigation—was Moscow behind the plot?
The many similarities and the spiritual bond between the pope and the president—and how Reagan privately spoke of the “DP”: the Divine Plan to take down communism
New details about how the Protestant Reagan became intensely interested in the “secrets of Fátima,” which date to the reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Fátima, Portugal, starting on May 13, 1917—sixty-four years to the day before John Paul II was shot
A startling insider account of how the USSR may have been set to invade the pope’s native Poland in March 1981—only to pull back when news broke that Reagan had been shot
Nancy Reagan called John Paul II her husband’s “closest friend”; Reagan himself told Polish visitors that the pope was his “best friend.” When you read this book, you will understand why. As kindred spirits, Ronald Reagan and John Paul II united in pursuit of a supreme objective—and in doing so they changed history.
Under Reagan, the United States established diplomatic relations with the Vatican in 1984.
So it's a Roman Catholic deception? "Wild Bill" Donovan would be proud of what he created.
Edit - Wrote "Wild Bill" Hickok by mistake.

We knew Reagan was heavily into astrology but didn't know he was also into Marian prophecies.
Did Reagan also set the stage for Project Bluebeam with his statements at the UN?
