Would demons still be
Harassed by humanity.
Many mangy fiends
Are comfortably covert
In a world now free of sin.

- Comment from author about the poem: A tanka. “…Jesus’ experience: the more visible and powerful holiness becomes, the less the devil can conceal himself. In this respect, one could even say that the disappearance of demons that supposedly leaves the world without danger, goes hand-in-hand with the disappearance of holiness.” Excerpt from the chapter: “Farewell to the Devil?” by Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), “Dogma and Preaching: Applying Christian Doctrine To Daily Life” Ignatius Press, First Unabridged Edition (2005)

Also - one said, C.S Lewis I think (being more on the Protestant view!), that there are two dangers re. demons:
1. To see them in everything.
2. To see them in nothing at all.
