Devil's advocate is an idiom in the English language that refers to someone who argues against a cause or position they may not actually hold simply for the sake of argument or to determine its validity. It is a translation of the Medieval Latin phrase advocatus diaboli, an official in the Roman Catholic Church who was formally appointed to present arguments against a proposed canonisation or beatification.
