He was doing alright until he suggested religious activity as a way to combat the flesh.

Engaging in ceremonies or other religious activity is no way to combat the flesh.

The only way to deal with it is for it to die.

Msgr. Pope said:

...by God’s grace, to stop feeding the flesh and start feeding the spirit on prayer, scripture...

Don't you find help in prayer and Scripture? Fasting also helps, Jesus said certain kinds of demons could only be cast out with prayer and fasting.
