The Revolution is satanic in essence...

because it aims to undo the work of the creation and Redemption...

to build the social Kingdom of the devil, a hell on earth which foreshadows that of eternity, just as the social Kingdom of Christ also foreshadows the kingdom of the celestial paradise.

It is the truth of faith: demons exist, they fight men, they tempt and at times invade them. Satan’s primary activity is temptation. The devil insinuates, instigates, induces us to sin. He is, at least indirectly, in this sense the cause of our sins. Jesus Christ himself experienced this act of the tempter, who said to him: “All these things I will give you if you prostrate yourself before me and adore me.” [Mt. 4:9]

The mystical Body of Christ rests on two pillars.

Its visible structure, whose leaders are the Pope, the Vicar of Christ.

And its invisible structure, which is made up of the saints. Of which Our Lady is the model and epitome, who can also be defined as the “Vicar of Christ”, because of the authority which is not visible, but invisible,  exerted over the truly devout, who are the heart of the Church. 

The primary work of the devil is to conquer both the visible and invisible leaders of the Mystical Body of Christ: the authorities which guide the Church, and the saints who profess and live the Truth.

The temptation for men who represent the visible Church, is power.

The devil suggests that they serve not the Church, but their own ambitions, to satisfy their own cupidity.

Yet the souls to whom the devil most clings, are those called to sainthood.

Satan seeks out in particular those who, like himself, have received most graces from God. The seduction consists in convincing those souls that the good which they do, is the fruit of their own strength and their own merit. Leading them to forget that all the good they perform is accomplished in them by God.

To these souls, the tempter offers the gratification of gifts they have received, to change them from the humble to the proud and, where this is not possible, tempt them not to aim for the utmost good, which is perfection, but content themselves with the lesser good, which is frequently an evil, substituting the rough way of the Cross with an accommodating spirituality, which renounces heroism.

Satan prefers to conquer men of the Church rather than the laity, and from among the men of the Church, those who have the highest vocation; to lose a pure and generous soul, to lose a saint, to lose a bishop, to lose a Pope... these are Satan’s greatest conquests! 

This requires the highest level of seduction possible, which consists in offering his victim not vulgar material goods, but alternative spiritual goods, appealing to man’s desire for the absolute. As testified in his work Exorcism, Leo XIII saw the throne of abomination and godlessness, positioned even “ubi sedes beatissimi Petri et Cathedra veritatis ad lucem gentium constituta est.”
