The devil and this administration must share the same playbook.

All I thought while reading this was if you substitute Obama for the Devil, it would still ring true!

It is hard to think of any member of the MSM who is not doing the work of the devil. They are nothing but liars.

Exactly! And Obama throws in Taqiyya for good measure.

**The devil also deceives us by suggesting all sorts of complexities, especially in our thinking.**

This is quite evident on FR.

The scary thing is that Obama is a lite version of Satan. When we face the real Father of Lies (rather than just today’s Little Brother of Lies), we will be facing a much more clever and energetic purveyor of evil. Considering how poorly decent people acquitted themselves against today’s adversary, it’s easy to imagine just how ugly the final conflict will get when we face evil’s MVP instead of a second-string rookie. Good will win, eventually, but that doesn’t mean it will be pretty, pleasant, or quick.

“Here come the world,
with the look in its eye
Future uncertain, but certainly slight
Look at the faces, listen to the bells
It’s hard to believe we need a place called hell,
place called hell

The devil inside, the devil inside

Every single one of us
the devil inside
The devil inside,
the devil inside
Every single one of us
the devil inside”

Can you elaborate on that?

I think you underestimate the evil of Obama. Obama is an all-star level of evil and deception.

Agreed, but Obama is also lazy and rather stupid. He puts minimal time and effort into destroying our country between his vacations and golf outings, as he leaves the heavy lifting for Pelosi and her ilk. If Obama had the intelligence to plan the most effective possible attacks on freedom and actually put in a full-time effort, we would be in much worse shape. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I assume that Satan will be hard-working and exceptionally brilliant, in addition to being (by definition) at least as evil as Obama. That is scary.

Many posts calling the Catholic Church corrupt. Catholics misled (and worse words than that.)

I started posting the Daily Readings because non-Catholics kept saying that Catholics didn’t read the Bible.

In the movie “Patton,” the General is asked if he reads the Bible. “Every goddamn day,” Patton growls.

This is really an outstanding summary by Msgr Pope of an outstanding book.

To all those posting photoshops of Obama, etc: True, he personifies the devil’s tactics, but much of this can go on inside your head without the assistance of any other person at all.

I tend to fall pray to internal conflicts, anxieties and fears, leading to inaction and sloth. No Kenyen Marxist homo facilitator needed.
