Satan made enticing offers to Jesus Christ (after the Son had endured 40 days in the wilderness).

It is interesting to note Jesus fought these offers with "It is written" rather than a "according to Church tradition."

So true!

Now, if the Son had said to Satan, “You go and tell your offers to my mother, then I’ll listen”, then there would be something for the RCs to stand on.
