I Am Christian
Attributing to Jesus the Causes Promoted by the Deceiver of Mankind
"Sexual and social libertines have little interest in discrediting Christianity. They’re far more interested in refashioning it—in claiming Christ, and his vicar, as their supporters. The secularist social agenda is more palatable to impressionable young people if it complements, rather than competes with, the residual Christianity of their families. The enemy has no interest in eradicating Christianity if he can sublimate it to his own purposes. The greatest trick of the devil isn’t convincing the world he doesn’t exist—it’s convincing the world that Jesus Christ is the champion of his causes."

The article was written in early 2014 by Most Reverend James D. Conley, STL, the Catholic bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska. It offered a rosier view of Pope Francis than is at all tenable at this point in time. Still, it's a great quote.
