**(And shame on me for falling for trying to meet a devil half-way!)**

Hard to resist the temptation to swing at a high slow ball dropping right over the plate even though the next one would have had enough heat on it for you to put it over the fence.

One good thing though. A worthy priest Fr. John Hardon, now deceased, once warned never to debate with a devil, because you will lose. The ease with attacks against the Eternal Church of Christ by the Jack Chicks of the world are disposed of should at least convince us that it is not Satan that drives them, it is merely human pride and vanity.

Further somber reflection should make us all realize that Satan launches his attacks where the true battle ground is. That the TRUE Church is under such assult by true evil (as opposed to mere sneering/snickering calumny) today is an obvious sign of the reality that it is the Real Church. If Satan is leaving your Church alone it's a fair indication that you are doing nothing that concerns him, or that he realizes that before too long, your church will have "rightly divided" itself into oblivion.

Or perhaps Satan has finished his work there and moved less fertile ground
