Thanks for reinforcing my generally positive view of present-day Catholics compared to their Protestant brethren. I should think if anyone were taught demonology these days, it would be kids in Catholic school, since as I understand it, Christian demonology was an enterprise unique to the Catholic church. By the time the Protestant Reformation rolled around, it was no longer necessary for Christians to *invent* demons; there were plenty to slaughter in sectarian wars. > I like Branden's proposition very much.
