Works of Michael Molinos

Michael de Molinos

A Spanish Catholic, Michael (1640-1696 AD) was the founder of the "Quietist" way which John Wesley eventually refuted. While rejecting the Quietist way, Wesley recommended Michael's writings as helpful to instruct concerning spiritualism as one aspect of the Holy way of life. Michael was eventually rejected by the Roman Catholic Church and he and his adherents were condemned as heretics. Unfortunately this seems to have resulted more from taking Michael's teaching on "being still before the Lord" to the extreme, which is exactly what Wesley would later reject in the 18th century.

The Catholic spiritualist Michael Molinos was influential in forming John Wesley's sense of spirituality lived out - what a life of holiness involves.
