*** Additionally, Innocence is shown to be evolving, and Dark Matter is a clear parallel to Innocence. So it is likely that Akuma are evolving as well.

** [[spoiler: Most likely for the same reason Allen has not Fallen - Cross may hate the God, the Innocence and the Church, but he is still doing his duty in fighting against the Akuma and protecting the humanity.]]

** IIRC, the souls that are brought back are in a metallic doll (the Level 0 Akuma) and don’t seem to have that many higher cognitive functions, at least until they level up. Eliade even mentions this when she’s talking to herself about working with Level 1’s. To the person who called the soul back, it’d look like they got a lobotomized, kill-happy knock off of their loved one. Very much [[CameBackWrong not what they wanted]]. While I’m sure some would still accept it, the majority would not and would quickly accuse the Earl of conning them; at which point the Earl just decides to go back to his usual MO.

* Since an Akuma requires a dead body to use as their disguise, why do the Millennium Earl not use the body of the person whose soul was Akumasised as the disguise, assuming the body is still relatively intact and within reach, instead of having the Akuma kill the person who called the soul back? In addition to opening up an opportunity to recruit a grateful person whose loved one he helped saved as a Broker, using the former method would allow the Millennium Earl to wage a propaganda war against the Black Order by [[VillainWithGoodPublicity painting himself as a miraculous Good Samaritan who bring back the dead and reunite them with their loved ones]].

*** The threat of infiltration by Noah and Akuma are even more reason why the people should be informed about it. There are technologies available for use to detect Akuma as exemplified by the Gatekeeper. More so in modern days, where robotics, scanners and other modern surveillance systems can be developed and used to search for Akuma, Noah and Dark Matter technologies as well as Innocence and potential Accommodators. Granted, it could run the risk of a country turning into a police state in their war against Akuma, but the point is that a well-informed government and public can fight against Akuma and the Noah Family.

*** While it would not eliminate the production rate of Akuma, informing the public about the war would at least reduce the rate of Akuma being produced. Not everyone lack the critical thinking needed to reject the Earl's offer. As for weaponry to fight Akuma, only small arms and improvised explosives are shown to be ineffective against Akuma. It is possible that heavier weapons such as rockets and cannon shells might work against at least against Level 1 Akuma.

** In the first volume of manga, there was this boy who knew about the Akuma and the Millennium Esrl but he still made deal with the Earl to go and make the AKUMA of himself. Either he was too dumb to live or the temptation was too strong to resist. If a boy could fall for this, I dont think saying the Earl is a bad guy will not work. Also, don't forget that one of the Noah is freaking Minister of a nation. Do you think the Earl is stupid enough to leave those who screams out that he is a villain?

** One should also note that the people of the current human race are all decendants of Noah. This means that any one of them could be turned into a vessel for the Noah at any time. If the order revealed the war, the Earl could simply counter with telling everyone that they are his puppets not currently being used. Would you be able to walk around knowing that [[{{ParanoiaFuel}} at any moment you could be turned into a vessel for an evil soul and lose your free will?]]

** Because Innocence has no reason to care about who is paying the bills, and neither do the members. The Vatican is supporting the Order just because it's convenient to them, the Innocence meanwhile cares about who has the compatibility with the particular fragment and their will to fight the Earl. Really, why should the Innocence care? It's an over-7000-years-old substance which purpose is defeating a being that menaces the whole world, not only the Christian Creed. And think in Anita and her bunch: they were collaborating not out of faith, but out of desire for no more people to die like their dear ones did. There are way more non-catholic people in the world than catholic, so obviously there are more non-catholic workers than otherwise in the Order. It's a matter of self-interest: nobody wants to die just because the Vatican is paying the bills instead of the Orthodox Church.
