I am not sure what to make of Francis.
He is kinda like Ted Cruz.

Hmmmm. My New Jerusalem Bible must not be the one with the extra big pages. But I don't think there are many copies where Chapter Three comes on the first page...

“Please, let’s not do business with the Devil”
Maybe the Pope can perform an exorcism at the White House and rid us of His Satanic Majesty and his she-devil.

Come on you lot are none of you going to take the positive this guys says and praise those words. So many other churches have minimized the devil to a cartoon character (if he even exists to them). To those who have truly battled him it is no joke and nothing to be trivialized. The Pope also is right in this day that relativism is one of the devils favorite tools so “Don’t accept relativism; be vigilant. And always with Jesus!” Is a radical message to the world.

Genesis 1:2 is the first reference to the first rebel. That world/age that WAS (IIPeter 3) was destroyed. Second reference to the willy serpent is Genesis 2:9 wherein the first rebel is called symbolically the ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’. So Francis is correct, the devil, that decided he would do things better is described on the very first page.

The Pope has access to handwritten copies of the Bible: copies so old that they predate the advent of modern English - and also the modern use of the word 'page' by a wide margin.
This word 'page' that some are so exercised about.
page
"sheet of paper," 1580s, from Middle French page, from Old French pagene "page, text" (12c.), from Latin pagina "page, leaf of paper, strip of papyrus fastened to others"
In (for instance) my Burns & Oates copy of the Knox translation of the Bible: the Devil is mentioned on the first pagene, leaf of paper comprising the text.
Perhaps now the thread can get back to praising the Pope for correctly affirming the existence of the evil one?

the Devil exists and is so important that he “is on the first page of the Bible” I know what he is saying, but the devil is not on the 'first page.' Kinda in the second chapter of Genesis. Unless he has one of those really big Pope Bibles where the first two chapters are on the same first page:)
