People are uncomfortable talking about Satanism, but there are so many whispers about its inroads these days that the subject is at last coming out into the open. Since Satan-worshiping tends, of its very nature, to be done in darkness, it is hard to get hold of solid evidence about who may be involved, and how pervasive it may be. In his lengthy interviews with Taylor Marshall on YouTube, abuse victim James Grein hints at possible Satanic elements in connection with McCarrick, the St. Galen group, and others involved in the wave of scandals that has overtaken the hierarchy, including the papacy.

Should we be surprised about this? In a way, yes, and in a way, no.

The most powerful churchmen will suffer the greatest temptation to ally themselves with the “angel of light” who attempts to rival God and overthrow His order—an order most apparent in the differentiation of the human race into male and female, and the ordering of sexual activity to procreation. Any powerful man in the Church, if he does not bend all his effort to sanctifying his soul and body in accord with supernatural virtue, will be drawn to defile his soul and body with unnatural vice. Those who are not totally committed to Christ will find themselves sliding down into the party of His archenemy.

...Pretending that we, in our time, are not witnesses to and participants in an unprecedented battle between supernal armies of good and evil would be delusional. The enemy has breached the walls and is inside, comfortably seated on episcopal thrones, running curial offices, and long since committed, with the help of Satan and his angels, to the destruction of any recognizable form of confessional Christianity.

Got that? Those of us who see no evidence of a supernatural struggle between Yahweh and Lucifer are the delusional ones.

1. Considering the Many Priests Who Sexually Assault Children and Sisters, Perhaps Satan is Winning

3. If Lucifer got to the #3 man in the Vatican, what hope do the rest of us have?

2. Sounds a lot like religion is never responsible for bad shit

Because it was really satan's fault all along.

As batshit crazy as this sounds, it really should come as no surprise any of them make that claim. This is the kind of garbage they are indoctrinated with. It absolves them of any personal responsibility for the evil shit catholics may do. The only mistake they can make is leaving the door open for Lucifer.

4. I'm glad he used the word delusional

There has been some objection here to the use of that word to describe believers. Glad to see it come here to roost.

5. Satan, Lucifer, and the Devil made them do it.

That excuse never works.

It's all the same thing, really. Supernatural entities, one and all. Non-existent, one and all. Figments of the imagination, one and all.

Fundamental Protestantism has long attacked the Pope and his many minions.

So much for comity among Christians, eh?

8. Kind of ironic how satan has more power over humans than god does

9. Well, that mythological figure certainly gets the blame for human flaws.

Scapegoating goes way, way back, apparently. But, then, God apparently acknowledges his role in all of that, as he is reported to have said in Isaiah 45: 7:

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."

"The Word of the Lord"

It stands to reason that a deity who created all things created evil as well.
