Guest Tudie Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 He began with profound, sound theology and degenerated as he became involved with Eastern mysticism. His journey did not lead to Christ, but to introspection which is a dead end street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cure of Ars Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Where's some proof from something he wrote? I doubt highly that he would ever reject Christ as the only door to salvation and that he would reduce his prayer life to introspection.
