Well, this article kind of explains it -- Busting the Mystery Why DePaul's Mascot Is A Demon Despite It Being A Catholic School - -- but I can tell you the real reason why DePaul continues to have a demon as its mascot.
Look, The Catholic Church believes that demons exist-- and that they possess bodies from time to time. That's why The Church has an exorcism wing at the Vatican in Rome. (It does.) But here's the deal: DePaul is a college in America. And American Catholics don't believe that demons are real. They don't believe a lot of stuff The Church teaches. (Cafeteria Catholics they're called.) Heck, they're so arrogant they believe they know more about real Christian theology than the Pope himself -- and all the College of Cardinals combined! 😆
