Synopsis
A virtuous and rather naïve seminarian is determined to turn in a winning thesis on "Original Virtue". Equipped with a runaway imagination, he thinks that doing so will come easier if he succeeds in using the devil, of all people, as his mouthpiece for expounding on the Church's dogmas! After all they did something very similar in Rome. The canonization process had one of the cardinals (the Promoter of the Faith) act as Advocatus Diaboli (Devil's Advocate), and even argue against the canonization of the candidate for sainthood! Moreover, if he (Mjomba) succeeded in his scheme, that would effectively make the Ruler of the Underworld work for the salvation of souls instead of their damnation!And, incredibly, the seminarian appears to succeed in tricking the Evil One into working against his own interests and helping him craft a thesis that looks like a definite winner. Mjomba realizes, too late, that his scheme of trying to use Satan to turn in a winning thesis has backfired, and that it is the Evil Ghost that is using him to consign everyone to hell.Employing the free platform provided by the unwitting seminarian, the devil indicates, gleefully, that he is in total control; and that his evil plan to consign everyone, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, the luckless student himself included, to hell is on track. In an expansive, record shattering homily on the battle between the forces of Good and the forces of Evil, Satan paints the picture of poor, forsaken descendants of Adam and Eve who, conceived in original sin and wedded to iniquity, won't give a second thought about turning the house of the "Deliverer's" Father which, according to the Catechism, encompasses the "Sancta Ecclesia" and the "people of God" (CCC 781-797), into a place of commerce! But the devil knows what he is up against, namely the Deliverer and those saints who just go marching into the divine banquet hall for the Marriage Feast of the Lamb (exactly as Louis Armstrong piped), and along the way frustrate his designs on the Sancta Ecclesia and its redeeming work., This is the 3rd Revised Edition of Volume Two ("Mjomba and the Evil Ghost") of Joseph Luguya's thrilling three-volume blockbuster "Humans, The Untold Story of Adam and Eve and their Descendants". A virtuous and rather naïve member of St. Augustine's seminary brotherhood has a class assignment to turn in a thesis on "Original Virtue". But he has a runaway imagination, and easily gets snared into serving in a very strange role, namely the role of scribe to none other than Satan. Misled by the practice in Rome that has one of the cardinals (the Promoter of the Faith) play the role of the so-called Advocatus Diaboli (Devil's Advocate) in order to argue against the canonization of the candidate for sainthood, he falls for the temptation to try and use the devil as his mouthpiece for expounding on the doctrines of the church. He imagines that if he should succeed in doing that, he will effectively make Lucifer, who is also known as Beelzebub, work for the salvation of souls instead of their damnation! And, incredibly, the seminarian appears to succeed in tricking the Evil One into working against his own interests and helping him craft a thesis that looks like a definite winner! Satan starts by bragging about how he derailed the father and mother of mankind; and it soon starts to dawn on the student that it is the Evil One who is using him instead of the other way round! Using the free platform provided by the unwitting seminarian, the devil indicates gleefully that he is in total control, and that his evil plan to consign everyone, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, the luckless student himself included, to hell is on track! And that former "Angel of Light" and also "Father of Lies" succeeds in ensuring that humans are on the road to perdition by pulling off the most unlikely hat trick of all, namely shining as much light on truth as possible so that humans (who are already inclined to sin) don't have any excuse at all come Judgement Day - or so he leads the seminarian to believe! Predictably the devil also brags that he is more knowledgeable in matters of theology than all the doctors of the church combined! And, as he goes about shining light on the "Truth", the devil seems quite happy to use this opportunity to show the world that he does not just profess the Catholic faith, but he is actually more Catholic than the Catholics themselves! It becomes evident soon enough that "Old Scratch" harbors the most God-awful bitterness towards humans. In an expansive, record shattering homily on the battle between the forces of Good and the forces of Evil, Satan paints the picture of descendants of Adam and Eve who are inclined to sin as a consequence of the fall from grace of the first man and the first woman, and won't give a second thought about turning the house of the "Deliverer's" Father which, according to the Catechism, encompasses the "Sancta Ecclesia" and the "people of God" (CCC 781-797), into a place of commerce! But the devil knows what he is up against, namely the Deliverer and those saints who just go marching into the divine banquet hall for the Marriage Feast of the Lamb (exactly as Louis Armstrong piped), and along the way frustrate his designs on the Sancta Ecclesia and its redeeming work. For his part, the student starts to see limitless possibilities of benefiting from the scheme before long; and he dreams about riding on the cocktails of Diabolos and achieving fortune and fame by converting the "winning" thesis into a mega-selling blockbuster! While the devil is quite happy with that mutual arrangement and wants to see the student succeed, as disseminating "Truth" in whichever way now serves his purposes very well from one angle, from a different angle, because as the Father of Lies he is being coerced to act against his nature and sees it as punishment, all that now puts the student's eternal salvation in the greatest peril because of his central role in it.
