SS PETER AND PAUL

In both the reading from

Genesis and the Gospel in

today’s Mass, we see Satan, or

the Devil, mentioned. The

reality of Satan is a challenge

for Modern Man. With the arrival of the “Age of

Enlightenment” in the 18th century, it became

fashionable to believe that everything could be

understood through reason and science alone. The

“Modernism” of the mid-19th century intensified this

belief, such that the Church in response began to speak

explicitly about the errors of “Modernism”, especially

its rejection of religious belief. Just one example of this

is the rejection of spiritual beings, since the only reality

the modernists accept must be physically observable.

So, angels – good or fallen – don’t really exist, they are

merely mythical beings created from our imaginations

in order to explain things we don’t understand. But

NOW, science provides all the answers, and we can do

away with these mythical beings. Of course, the Church

has always held fast to the Biblical accounts of the

existence of spiritual creatures. Angels – the good ones,

like Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael; and the fallen ones,

like Satan – really do exist. In the Book of Revelation

(Ch. 12), we read how Jesus brings about the defeat of

“that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and

Satan.” Pope Francis, even more so than his

predecessors, often speaks of the nefarious works of the

Devil. Indeed, the Catholic has always been deeply

aware that the disciple of Jesus Christ will have to

contend with “the World, the Flesh, and the Devil.”

Certainly, even in our everyday pursuits, we are aware

of particular obstacles which may impede, or make

difficult, the goal we seek. Every runner surveys the

course where he runs; every golfer looks out for the

sand traps. In this sense, the things of this world, our

own human weaknesses, and the temptations of the

Devil, are all obstacles which we contend with in our

journey to Christ. But in and through Christ, we

triumph!

May God bless you!
