Don't ever underestimate him. He's sneakier than you think. After all, he's a post VC II Jesuit with a goal.
As bad as many Jesuit Priests are and have been, especially the post Vatican II type, none of them are actually demons because you need a body to be ordained, and demons don’t have bodies.
Jesuits, as smart as they are, are much dumber than demons.
While I grant you he is pretty sneaky, he is also not very smart, so far as I can tell, at lest as Jesuits go.
