If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States. I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington” . . .
If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa. And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say, “she’s right.” With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons but not wise enough to control them.
If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps. In other words, if I were Satan, I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.
Paul Harvey, Good Day.
FAST FORWARD
It has been nearly fifty years since this speech was delivered and the council closed. Over four decades have passed since Pope Paul called out the devil by his name, claiming that 'the smoke of satan' has entered the temple of God.' Despite this, nothing has changed. The Prince of Darkness continues to walk among us, unidentified, ignored, and unfettered, preaching his unholy gospel to those who are hell-bent on constructing the 'City of man.'
Meanwhile the murder of innocents goes on; the aberration of homosexual marriage has become a civil right; drugs that were once considered to be dangerous are legalized and used for 'recreational' purposes; unjust, unending wars are waged for political and financial gain; the government of 'the people' is increasingly more intrusive and dictatorial in controlling our lives; and lawyers are paid to spin and obscure the truth rather than to seek justice.
How do we stop this fast track journey, leading us to impending doom? What is the solution? The restoration of the CHURCH MILITANT is the answer. Only these members of the Church which Christ Himself founded, the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, has the only spiritual weapons to expel satan from the bodies and souls of mindless sheeple who are leading us to destruction. It is our Catholic Churchmen who need to be mobilized, step up and take the lead in this crusade. However, given the current mindset of today's Catholics and non-Catholics alike, this would be met with a hailstorm of criticism, just like if the Pope were to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as she wished. But where else do we turn in a society which has become so spiritually and morally dulled and bankrupt, that common sense is no longer common? Let's start with this: "Saint Michael the Archangel..."
