Ignatius Insight Scoop: Oregon bishop warns against ignoring the activity of Satan

Carl Olson posts a link to an article by Bishop Robert Vasa of the Diocese of Baker, OR which H.E. posted in The Catholic Sentinel . Here is a part of Bishop Vasa's article: ...It is certainly important that we not become excessively consumed or obsessed by the presence and activity of the evil one but it is also most important that we not be oblivious to his presence or activity, for it is real.

The killing of the sick or elderly because they want it is being promoted as some kind of right or good but this can be so only in the topsy-turvy world of Screwtape and Wormwood.

"The devil is an angel, and therefore, a pure spirit created good by God and who perverted himself because he rebelled against God. Therefore, he maintains all the characteristics proper of a pure spirit, such as a very large intelligence, immensely bigger than ours." The devil is pleased by the way he is generally represented -- with wings and a tail, horns, as a bat
