I need to add something here. 

The Catholic Encyclopedia article on neo-platonism begins with this paragraph:

"A system of idealistic, spiritualistic philosophy, tending towards mysticism, which flourished in the pagan world of Greece and Rome during the first centuries of the Christian era. It is of interest and importance, not merely because it is the last attempt of Greek thought to rehabilitate itself and restore its exhausted vitality by recourse to Oriental religious ideas, but also because it definitely entered the service of pagan polytheism and was used as a weapon against Christianity."

From the Catholic Encyclopedia article on neo-platonism:

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10742b.htm

"[Neo-platonism] derives its name from the fact that its first representatives drew their inspiration from Plato's doctrines, although it is well known that many of the treatises on which they relied are not genuine works of Plato. It originated in Egypt, a circuмstance which would, of itself, indicate that while the system was a characteristic product of the Hellenistic spirit, it was largely influenced by the religious ideals and mystic tendencies of Oriental thought."

Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ is also the child of Egypt and Babylon.

From the Catholic Encyclopedia article on neo-platonism:

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10742b.htm


"The strength and, from the pagan point of view, the aggressiveness of Christianity began to be realized. It became necessary, in the intellectual world, to impose on the Christians by showing that Paganism was not entirely bankrupt, and, in the political world, to rehabilitate the official polytheism of the State by furnishing an interpretation of it, that should be acceptable in philosophy."

Exactly what is happening today, in an attempt to forever bury under rubble the edifice of the Church.

I know, you see, somehow the Church will change for me and be so wonderful.
