Email: Evagrius the Solitary (345–399) [6.6.2020]

Evagrius states that of all the eight evil thoughts it is through the experience of ‘sadness’ that ‘daemons’ will strike the most! How interesting that the Church would theologically move away from this very important teaching! Of course, with the later Church the laity are not reliant upon their own inner efforts (as is a monk), but are dependent upon the external ministering of a priest! The Christian book I am studying is the Audiobook I forwarded to you. The Christian author states that today the Church tends to view daemons as being bundles of negative ‘psychosomatic’ responses to inner and outer stimuli. It’s a start! 

Catholic Church Formerly Demonises Mental Illness

Pope Francis is probably the most dangerous and sinister of recent popes. The Catholic Church has used his appointment to embark upon a sophisticated and multifaceted public relations exercise that is made to look as if it is all the decision of the pope himself, when in reality the Catholic Church is actually run by hidden ecclesiastical groups that are ruthless and do nothing unless it serves their selfish purposes. It is no secret that the Catholic Church assisted Nazi Germany in its attempts to eradicate the existence of European Jewry, and its misogynistic attitudes toward women are so well known as to be almost common-place today, and something of a forgone conclusion.
