Fr Ripperger is an exorcist priest. He encounters these demons in possession, knowing them first hand. He also studied the saints who experienced messages from God explaining spiritual warfare. He quotes St Thomas Acquinas quite often.
Oh they’re the masters of lies. But when a priest is in exorcism, they have Christ at their shoulder and He commands them to tell the truth and that is when they reveal truths. The priest can do nothing without Christ’s authority. Demons hate God but they respect his jurisdiction and follow his rules and laws strictly.
