He seeks to deceive and destroy.
There is no better example of his presence than the current mania among the secular press, atheists and liberal catholics in there effort to destroy the Catholic Church by their obsession over homosexual rapists among the priesthood.

Of course they don't use the word homosexual since they believe that perversion to be normal and a legitimate alternative lifestyle.
Instead they harp on about pedophelia which involves pre-pubescent children.
While some priest abuse cases involved pedophelia, the vast majority were instances of homosexual rape.
Let me make something clear: Pedophiles and all other homosexuals who rape should be put to death. The devil clearly works through such people. Yet, why is the Church singled out? Why are the devil's minions so eager to resurrect decades old cases? Why no attentiion to the many more cases of sexual predation outside the Church? Undoubtedly, the devil fears the Church more than the rest of the world combined. Hence, the attention.
Back to the devil among us.
Within and without the Church are those who work towards the end of the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church, or-if not the end- then a bending of the Church to suit their desires, e.g. female priests, end of celibacy, recognition of homosexuals, womens' right to choose to kill their babies, an end to sin and everyone gets to heaven, etc.
Those outside the Church take comfort from those heretical cafeteria catholics who willfully corrupt the Church from within and who insist on their way whenever the Pope and the Magisterium expect conformity to Jesus' proclamation "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
(Matthew 16:19-20)

The Church has endured 2000 years of battling the devil and his helpers. Take heart, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18-19)
We Catholics must stand ever faithful to the Church and resist those heretic catholics and secular heathens who walk in the devil's footsteps. The Church will survive as it always has. http://americanthinker.com/2010/04/salvaging_the_wreckage_of_the.html
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
http://ourladyswarriors.org/prayer/michael.htmThe road will be difficult. There will be times when blood will be spilt and hearts broken, but Catholics must remain faithful. It isn't all sweetness and tea time. As Jesus warned, "Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on, a household of five will be divided three against two and two against three..." (Luke 12:51-53)
In the end, the remnant may be small, but the price more than worth it. As to those liberal, cafeteria catholics who would tolerate the intolerable, they would be well advised to recall Revelation 3:16-17, "I know all about you: how you are neither cold nor hot...since you are neither, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth."
Take heart Catholics, and remember that extremism in the defense of the truth is never wrong. Afterall, Jesus is the Way, the Life , and the Truth!
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for the cause of right, theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:10)
