"Pope Francis Wednesday reminded those who think belief in the devil
is antiquated or outdated that Satan really exists and that Jesus
himself experienced his temptations and overcame them.
"'So began the public life of Jesus, with the temptation that comes from Satan. Satan was present,' the pope said May 1.
"'Many people say: 'But why talk about the devil, which is an ancient
thing? The devil does not exist.' But look at what the Gospel teaches
you,' Francis emphasized. 'Jesus confronted the devil, he was tempted by
Satan. But Jesus rejects every temptation and comes out victorious.'"
A recent National Catholic Register article reported on Pope Francis' reminder on the reality of Satan.
