1) “THE GOSPEL OF JOHN”
What Is Truth? (18:37-38)

For those willing to accept Jesus as the ultimate source of truth, they will be greatly blessed… – cf. Jn 8:31-36

2) ‘What Is Truth?’ Some Competing Theories

Rather than defining truth as relative, subjective, merely coherent, or pragmatic, how about the one nearly everyone defaults to and which (as we will see) all others ultimately depend? The correspondence view describes truth as the correspondence of a statement to reality. Aristotle famously described this view in just a few monosyllabic words: “To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.”

4) Orthodoxy: Chesterton on the “Delight” of Truth
REV. JAMES V. SCHALL. S.J.
https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/culture/catholic-contributions/orthodoxy-chesterton-on-the-delight-of-truth.html
This essay might be about the “splendor” of truth rather than about its “delight,” but John Paul II has famously claimed the “splendor” for himself Veritatis Splendor. Chesterton simply rejoices in truth, but not just for the sake of his own rejoicing, but because there is something to rejoice about.

5) Is There Really a Devil? | EWTN

Jesus referred to Satan as the Father of Lies. The devil perverts the truth, as he did with Eve. He fills our minds with doubts. He provides all the rationalizations why something is right, even though our Lord and the Church teach it as wrong.

Satan is the Prince of Darkness. He lurks about and is crafty. He fills us with the pessimistic thoughts, the bad thoughts, the hateful thoughts. He shows us all the hurts, frustration and troubles of this world and of our own lives, hoping to lead us to despair.

Finally, Jesus called him the Murderer. The devil seeks to kill the grace of God in our soul and then take our soul to hell.
