Satan doesn't confine his attacks of Christians only to the Catholic Church. Only those with a relationship with the Son of God are the true Church of Jesus the Christ. God does not limit those He saves to only one denomination. I would agree that the Catholic Church is a popular target due to its size and worldwide influence. I also agree with you that to be persecuted for Jesus is indeed an honor.

[Just mythoughts]

Satan believes he is 'god' and uses whatever means necessary to deceive whomever he can. Remember what he offered Christ? While many think of him with horns and red underwear he is described as the most beautiful being. Kinda like a 'hollywood hunk'.
