He is a Roman Catholic priest, from the more traditional line. He is talking quite hard things, which are usually not very popular topics among priests. Like here.
He could be a cheater, he could be an AI, or even much worse. Anyone can look like a Roman Catholic priest, and knowing well the theology, he can even talk like one.
Beisde that, even if he is real, his youtube videos might be still AI generated, or AI modified. Not very unusually, we deal with things beyond usual human knowledge.
An option would be to talk with some local priest, maybe he can find some intra-church way for that, but the Church is big, and I am from another continent.
What he says, matches well what I know. But, quite honestly, learning theology and demons, well it looks a bit dangerous to do that from youtube.
