From that time on the parish priest began to show signs of senility that would lead him to say years later that the devil had probably won his rebellion against God, and that he was the one who sat on the heavenly throne, without revealing his true identity in order to trap the unwary.

In "One Hundred Years of Solitude," the parish priest experiences a decline in mental faculties, leading him to reflect on his spiritual beliefs and struggles with faith. Over the years, his thoughts become increasingly troubled, causing him to question the nature of good and evil, and the existence of the devil as a true force in the world.

This transformative journey culminates in a radical belief that the devil may have usurped God’s place in heaven, cleverly concealing his identity to mislead others. This perspective reflects the priest's internal conflict and highlights broader themes of illusion and reality within the narrative.
