Résumé
While for many Catholics the devil is at the root of most medium-induced phenomena, conversely spiritualists and mediums deny Satan’s existence.Theories clash without there being any real debate, for each side stands convinced that it holds the truth.As a matter of fact, the existence of the devil is central to the catholic faith. Questioning it amounts to denying the original sin, and upsetting the whole moral, social and religious balance.Yet mediums, most of them women, are going to great pains to do so, with fertile imagination. The obliteration of the devil enables them all at once to think of reincarnation, the mastery of their own destiny as human beings, and the promise of a new era, the Age of Woman.
