I am interested to see nobody reporting actual experiences in doing this - so I kind of wonder if this is something people talk about but don't do (generally speaking of course)? Anyway, I'd like to hear about how things went for anyone who did play in games where Dogs availed themselves of demonic powers/sorcery.
I've done it twice. I really like the option and enjoy combining it with traits like: "I sin so you don't have to." and "I question my goodness."
I've never played it as believing in any kind of false doctrin. I just have a relationship with a demon and I know how to call on that relationship for supernatural favors. I've used it to mark people with weird symbols, set someone on fire, see visions of remote locations, "fight fire with fire" situations where I've used my demon to combat the demons in the town.
Yeah, I love this option. The Dog I play when I use it is usually a convert from Back East who started out studying demonology and came out west to place he heard "real miracles" were performed. He then uses his expertise in demonology to fight for the faith.

Renaissance fiction contains several examples of Christian religious types using Demonology to power White Magic, binding eveil creatures to do things in the name of Good. Robert Greene's "Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay" is one such text.
