In historical Catholic contexts, the devil was viewed as the Lord of the Earth appointed by God to rule it.

You have to understand that if you're this semi-literate Catholic woman, and by semi-literate, probably illiterate, the devil is the lord of the earth. The devil is set by God to rule the earth. Yes, you aren't supposed to worship the devil, but because the devil exists in your Catholic frame and is literally the Lord of the earth, the devil offers Jesus the whole world. And he's set by God to rule this earth.
