Introduction
According to Christian literature and belief, Satan leads the opposition to God, but he does not act alone. The Bible calls these followers "devils,"Bible: Leviticus 17:7. "the devil's angels,"Bible: Revelation 12:9. or, most notably, demons.
Christians interpret the Bible to indicate that the goal of Satan and his demons is the creation of human misery through separation from God. Christians believe that these beings are deceivers, appearing or acting like angels or ministers of righteousness4, but really function as tempters, enticing people to violate God's law.5 Some Christians also hold that demons are possessors, occupying and controlling human bodies.6
However present and powerful demons are said to be, it is taught that they are not unaware of God’s presence and power. In the New Testament, it is said that even the demons believe in Jesus Christ and are afraid of this reality.7
The Catholic tradition's teaching on demons was set by the Fourth Lateran Council (1215 CE), which stated that the Devil and demons were originally made to be good creatures, but they became evil because of their own doings.
