There are many situations and actions in our world today that can easily lead us to believe we are living at a time when evil is more prevalent than it has ever been. Hatred and divisiveness all too frequently are being substituted for love of God and neighbor. In reality, all human beings have lived through diabolical times. From the time Satan (serpent) tempted and persuaded Eve in the Garden of Eden to eat of the forbidden fruit, evil has existed in the world. Dealing with evil is a struggle for human beings. It can become an even greater struggle when society accepts and endorses evil practices. In our Church and in our Nation, there have been questionable practices, some of which are accepted by our society, that make it more difficult to maintain or increase our faith in God. We will examine a few such evils in this book.
