@n0vitski He refused to worship Christ who is God. He learned that God planed to become man and he the most powerful of God's creation wouldn't worship a lowly human. That is what made him deviate from God and declare himself to be the measure of good and perfect like you say. The devil in Paradise Lost is the devil from the bible.

I'm glad you knew about Church canon, and the Anglicans(which Milton was) are the closest to The Church, and is why Paradise Lost is so profound. That's actually what Podesta called the Catholic Church in his emails talking about trying to subvert the Catholic Church. The left and those who oppose Catholicism call it The Church, makes you think doesn't it.

I read that you weren't Christian or believe in the super or preternatural, I was just pointing out how curious it is they call it that. Ohh I'm keenly aware. The church has been infiltrated by leftist and the Freemasonic St. Gallen mafia. This is something they have been planning and slowly executing since the 1800's. The Pope has been preaching all the wrong ideas on political philosophy which goes against Church teachings of subsidiarity and many others, and he actually said that the miracle of the multiplying of the loaves and fish was actually the miracle of sharing. They say that Christ opened everyone's heart so they just shared what they had hidden and that it wasn't actually a supernatural miracle.

It was a plan to destroy the Church from within, because every time they tried to destroy it from without like in the French Revolution and the Mexican Civil War the blood of the martyrs just made the Church grow.

You can look up the St. Gallen Mafia. They've got their own Wikipedia page. You can also look up a document called the Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita, which is like it says an instruction to all the Vendita's, Italian freemasonic lodges, it was found when a rider fell off his horse and died and it was found in his satchel. The Pope at the time paid out of his own pocket to have it published and distributed around the world. No one seemed to care and or lost interest over time, but they just kept marching slowly towards their goal and like a frog boiled slowly our clergy was infiltrated.

That was in the 1850's and now you see the fruits of their efforts, they were quite effective.

They are also responsible for the pedophile crisis in the Chruch and purposefully filled the seminaries with gay priests.

Now, I would say half the Cardinals are either on their side or believe in bad doctrine and teachings. I fear there might be split in The Church because of this.

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck If you don't believe me look it up, I told you they have a wikipedia page and the document I was referencing is easily found.
