    • Abstract:
      The article presents the discussion on Ronald Knox's work, "Enthusiasm," humorously and cynically exploring the history of self-proclaimed mouthpieces of the Holy Spirit. Topics include highlighting the comical aspects of enthusiasm, shedding light on its history and its connection with the emancipation of women; and Knox challenging the notion of a clear separation between the spiritual and the material, asserting that the flesh, as an intrinsic aspect of human nature.
