The Illuminist’s Mind
‘On the supernatural level this disease shows itself in the conviction that “I have a special light from the Holy Spirit; you do not. Therefore, I am right and you are wrong.” I like to call this form of the aberration the privileged-pipeline-to-God idea. One can present to this person objective evidence from reason, Scripture, the teaching Church, brilliant theologians, and, once again, no dent is made on the illuminist’s mind. The reaction is the same: “I know better; you are wrong.” ‘
