The fact that St. Luke, who in his Gospel describes like phenomena as coming from daemonia, “evil... read more

Paul did not act from mere impulse, but upon the principle of compassion with which all true Christians are animated, he was miraculously endowed, it is true, while we have only the power of influence and persuasion.
