But the devil,seeing that the temples of the demons are deserted,and
humanity is running to the name of the liberating Mediator, has incited
the heretics to resiest the Christian teaching while keeping the Christian
name.
Even so, by their Evil they benefit the true Catholic members of Christ. God makes good use of the Evil as well, and all things work together for good
to those who love him.
For all the enemies of the Church, whatever error blinds them or malice
perverts them, exercise her paitence if they are given power to hurt her
bodily. If they only oppose her by Evil thought they exercise her wisdom.
At the same time, if these enemies are loved they her benevolence, or
even her generosity, whether she deals with them by persuasive doctrine
or fearful discipline. Thus the Devil the prince of the impious city, is not
allowed to harm the city of the city of God that sojourns in this world,
even when he stirs up his own vessels against her.
