If Catholics, including some of the clergy, need to be reminded by the pope and others that Satan really exists, is it not because the church for centuries has placed greater emphasis on tradition, philosophy, and unproved scientific theories than on the Bible?

No Mrg, its not "for centuries" this current crisis is only been recently, maybe around 50-70 years, but popes from around 1800's have written about the way we are heading, how it's being infiltrated by modernism, and how it was shaping the world the church and including Protestantism by Freemasonry, is it any wonder your founder Russell is buried under a pyramid

The Vision of Pope Leo XIII in Oct 13 1884, warned that this century will be under the rule of Satan, and many believe it started with the warning in 1917 with Fatima starting with Russia (communism) Bolsheviks revolution, which makes more sense the your version of 1914 and world war 1, just look around you, the current problems, many coming from the left, Carl Marx pushed atheism, we've seen in all Communist countries attacking religion, we seen it going to Frankfurt school then pushed cultural Marxism which in turn is causing much of today's problems to which you are seeing as that we are living in the end times.

It's amazing thou MrG, do you think the devil or any army general would attack his own, or would it attack it's enemy, are JW being attacked at the same level as Catholics, think about it?

The bible warns that towards the end people will lose the faith, meaning faith will decline, and many-times you come on here highlighting that JW are growing and expanding, it'll also warns that in the last days people will hold only a form of being Godly, this is what grows 2Tim 3:5, and you are growing hmmmm
