Advocatus Diaboli| Popular name of one appointed in the Roman Catholic Church to set forth possible objections to any person whom it is proposed to canonize. The official title is Promotor Fidei. As the objections were generally not valid, and made only as a matter of form, the term has come to be applied to any person who knowingly puts forward arguments with which he or she disagrees. |
