Three Demons to defeat

In his Pentecost homily, Pope Francis named three demons or enemies that must be defeated. These are Demon Narcissus, Demon Victimhood, and Demon Pessimist. 

Demon Narcissus is totally ego-centric. The ‘how’ he can profit from the pandemic is his only concern. My needs first, says Demon Narcissus, and everyone else can go to hell.
Demon Victimhood is very different but equally dangerous. He is all the time complaining: no one understands him, no one experiences what he experiences and everyone is against him. If others don’t care about you, Demon Victimhood would say, why should you care about others?
Demon Pessimist is a worthy son of Lucifer if there was ever one.The damage he does is equally great. He looks around him and labels everything ‘bad.’ 

Demon Pessimist is the eternal complainer. Get angry at the world, he exhorts all. See everyone in the worst light, then do nothing about it. Just complain. Just moan. All three foment what Pope Francis calls ‘the famine of hope’ which in turn attacks his vision of a world built on solidarity. He also said that if we do not end the pandemic of poverty in the world, then everything will be in vain. Over 7 and a half million Covid-19 cases have been reported so far, with 425,000 deaths, but millions die of hunger every year.
