Denying or ignoring the existence of Satan is another way of avoiding that dreaded need to repent!
The Cathars didn't believe in Satan, Marriage, or Baptism and lots of catholic congregations left Christianity in droves to join in the fun and frolic of Catharism.
At length, after the vain expenditure of much effort, with the advice and assistance of the archbishops of Lyon and Narbonne, the Bishop of Nevers, several abbots, and many other learned men, they (the Cathars) were adjudged guilty of the charge that, while paying lip service to the unity of the Divine Essence, they rejected absolutely all the holy sacraments of the Universal Church: specifically, the baptism of children, the Eucharist, the seal of the life-giving Cross, sprinkling with holy water, the building of churches, good works in tithes and offerings, the marital relations of husband and wife, the monastoc life, and all the functions of clergy and priests.

It took the Roman Church nearly 300 years to pull out the heretics - the Cathars and the Waldensians - from all over Europe.
Catholics shielded the cathars in their churches and paid the ultimate price - "Kill them all - God will know his own" still rings true today.
Simon de Montfort led the Christian effort to retake Le Languedoc for Christianity. Who will retake Britain and the dying Anglicans?
Anglicans getting rid reference to satan in baptism is because satan always controls the Anglican Church. They sold their soul to satan when they sold out to the sodomites. Satan is smiling.
Exactly.
