Commentary to the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year B

In the possessed person who stayed good up to the clash with Christ, we can grasp the ability not only of the scribes, but also of many Christians, to appease the  protagonist of evil. They compromise with power, yield to the spirit of the world and  hypocrisy, and reduce religion to rituals observed at the expense of the substance of the gospel. As long as they persist in the Christian community and in the church, the  evil one is silent and lets things continue.
