Msgr. Charles Pope: The Many Disguises of Satan

Brethren,

Msgr. Charles Pope of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC published a great post on his blog, entitled The Many Disguises of Satan. I think you should read it. Here's an excerpt:
  • He [Satan] claims to offer us freedom and autonomy from an unreasonable God and Church, liberation from rules and being “told what to do.”

  • He cloaks himself in the false righteousness of being “tolerant” and “not judging others.”

  • He exalts us by telling us we have finally come of age and can disregard the “hang-ups” and “repression” our ancestors had of sex and pleasure.

  • He flatters us by extolling our scientific knowledge and inflates us by equating it with wisdom and moral superiority over our “primitive” fore-bearers.
  • Read it all here.
