I don't need to tell you how fraught with danger this road is, if taken without the spiritual instruction of the Church

Oh, really?
Where is the logic in that?
I suppose the Romanist church WOULD BE SOMEWHAT OF AN EXPERT on all the dangers of religion twisted every which way but right into every human religious excess known to obsessive religionists throughout recorded history including a list of incredibly harsh and brutal ones . . . as well as a lot of blasphemous ones.
Thankfully, most Protestant groups have avoided such a traditions-bound-up-in-human-flesh-driven-motives stuff for anything near as long a period as the Romanists.
But there are still many Protestant groups trying to give the Romanists some competition on such horrid excesses and distortions of spiritual truth.
The logic is that it is not necessarily the Holy Spirit moving your transmission belts. Could be any number of demons.
