Episode 503: Aimee Byrd should be in your rear view mirror by now

6 minutes

I wrote 2 weeks ago that @aimeebyrdPYW seems to be apostatizing. You can read it here: We say Goodbye to Aimee Byrd.

More bad news confirming Aimee's drift has emerged. In her newest essay published October 10, Aimee lauds Catholic mystic Teresa of Avila. According to the Roman Catholic Church, Teresa was a bridal mystic; this is a woman who so intensely desires God she has bodily ecstatic experiences she later writes about, using language of erotic passion.

I explain what bridal mysticism is, link to some resources about Teresa of Avila, and plea for prayer for Aimee.
