Satan would rather we see that than this......

Revelation 1:12-18 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Having in our minds a dead, impotent Christ still bound to the cross will keep us from realizing the fulness of who we are in Christ and what we have in Him, and that includes the fact that Satan is DEFEATED (past tense) and has no more power in our lives other than what we give him.

That is exactly the image one gets from Catholics
