Was Joan of Arc crazy?

[jaydonbrodie]

Joan of Arc is considered crazy by Psychiatry. Because she listened voices and saw figures. For whom do'nt know Joan of Arc was born in France in the year 1412 and died in 1431. She was an important figure in French history during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). Joan of Arc was not schizophrenic, she was sensitive, that is, she saw and listened souls. Sensitive woman or medium she received orientations of "superior" souls to liberate France of the English domain. For France, later, fulfill its role: Democracy, Enlightenment, etc.

^ This ^ Psychology is becoming a increasingly rigorous scientific field. Your question seems more a philosophical and spiritual based one than psychology based one.

Only if you are a materialist who doesn't believe that God speaks to the saints.

This is a religious question that is offensive to me as a Roman Catholic and at the very least not appropriate for this particular forum.

Congratulations. You've managed to write a post that is even more anti-intellectual than the OP.

You will be eaten alive in the Ivory Tower  if you respond to controversial questions/subjects by wrapping yourself in your faith, especially when it suggests a monolithic characterization of hundreds of millions of people.
