Devil's advocate (disambiguation)
The Devil's advocate was an official in the Catholic Church who would attempt to prove a candidate for canonization to not be a saint. It is used as a figure of speech for someone who takes a position they do not necessarily agree with or runs counter to their or others interests for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further, possibly with regards to demonstrated impartiality.
