There is a simple problem here. Individuals are individuals, good and bad. No matter where they are in a heirarchy, that is just organisational authority. So it becomes like propoganda, you belong to this group, so you are responsible for the group and must defend it, believe all the things it claims to believe and take ownership of all the benefits of belonging.
But there are good people and there are evil people, some of God, some not.
So for me to all catholicism satanic is a bit of a joke. I could say all non-believers are satanic. Some certainly believe this.
All non-believers are lost, without a connection to the living God.
If you want to divide a group, get them to fight over their definitions, tearing themselves down and not concentrating on following and doing the things they claim to follow.
How many dreamers say they see devils torturing people in Hell? How many passages in scripture declare this? None.
The lake of fire is for destruction of those not written in the Lambs book of life.
The beast and his followers will be tortured for all eternity here.
And that is it. So who benefits from the mythology of revenge and torture? It is not God or His truth and reality, walking in love and faith. It is though the organisation called the church who has large buildings to maintain and blessings to give for hire.
But these folk will always be lost, and catholicism is a dying perspective on life. What is the point of superstition and ceremonies, when science can explain most of the problems people have. It is in love through Christ that we find eternity, so these organisations neither block the gospel or change it but are rather a reflection on the lost state of man, and how desperately they want to belong to avoid a lost eternity.
