I added a whole section on the Ignatian view because this the traditional Catholic perspective. The charismatic view is relatively new. 67.80.139.189 21:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for rewrite/clean up

Hello, I thought instead of placing several tags on this article, I would just request a complete rewrite. As you can see, another person thought that this article may be confusing or unclear.

IMHO, the article lacks; flow, proper grammar and spelling, tone, substandard language and lack of knowledge of the subject matter. In no way am I trying to bash the writers of this article, but I believe it is safe to say that this topic is rather complex and the information that is written does not match or demonstrate this complexity.

The introduction is lacking and the writing is choppy. I don't understand the purpose of what is written under the topic of Scriptural Basis. I will change the typo of satin to Satan, as I assume that is what it should say. Regarding the heading Charismatic View... I am thinking demonic oppression should be changed to demonic possession since it is linked to possession. The remaining part is a person's view on the subject, especially the last few lines.(NPOV) I also don't get the thing about "... my casket has no pockets...".

Again... I mean no offense. Lee754952 03:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

my casket has no pockets -- means that you wont take anything with you when you die -- grave clothes are not made with pockets. I suppose it is talking about the worldly spirit here, but I agree with you it needs a clean up! GB 12:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
