The title of this blog, Promotor Fidei, means “Promoter of Faith” and was the office held by a doctor in Canon Law, whose role was to present every possible argument against the beatification of a candidate. This office is also known informally as Advocatus Diaboli (The Devil’s Advocate). In common parlance, it means taking a position one does not necessarily agree with for the sake of the argument.

Ironically, I am not a Catholic. But I surely am an advocate of the devil. I take great pleasure in disassembling arguments into their constituent parts and probing them for soundness and validity, and submitting it to a barrage of possible criticisms, formal and informal.
