C. S. Lewis came across some correspondence in his day, and published them as The Screwtape Letters. It seems that old Screwtape is writing again, to another nephew. Ron Clayton came across this and felt he should share it while he had the chance. 

My Dear, Dear Nephew Bitterroot,

I once advised your cousin Wormwood that it is a good idea to try and get Christians off onto tangents. I cannot believe the wonderful job you have done with Rick Santorum. He has taken the compassion the Enemy taught and made it of no account, making literalism and pet causes the real issues. Be sure to get him to sound more and more strident and militant and extreme in his statements about those issues. 

Your strategy is so brilliant! I likely would not have done better myself! Your counterparts assigned to Gingrich and Romney have even been picking up your lead, causing more division in the ranks of the Republicans as each candidate has to keep pace with the other. Don’t worry about the moderate Republicans who see through your strategy; the confusion and chaos your plan is causing is doing its job just fine. 

And, of course, NEVER discourage division within the ranks of the Enemy! If Mr. Santorum want to divide ranks by declaring half or more of the Enemy’s forces are not TRUE followers, then all the better! That means less communication between various parts of the Enemy’s forces and thus less coordination of the Enemy’s forces.
