"yes. Satan was bound at the cross for a 1,000 years (mataphoric language that represents the time form the cross to shortly before the end of the world)"

So, I guess this means nothing:

"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father;". Gal. 1:3,4.

If Satan is bound now, where is this PRESENT EVIL WORLD located? And WHY hasn't the Catholic Church been able to turn THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD into the Kingdom that Christ WILL establish when He returns? All should be puppies and butterflies by now, if Satan were bound, and the Catholic Church was in charge of bringing peace about.

If Satan is bound I would sure like to know where all the evil in the world in the last 2000 years has come from.
