Talk:John Cassian

message: From the article: "His books were written in Latin, in a simple, direct style."
That sentence surprised me. The reason I came to this article is that   Reginald Foster once identified Cassianus as the most difficult Latin author he's read. Does anyone have any sources or resources about his style? I'd love a citation one way or the other. 2602:304:B094:D520:E982:BE73:11DF:960B (talk) 16:40, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Latin style

message: Merged article  Johannes Eremita Cassianus into this one, and changed links to that old article. --Marcusscotus1 21:24, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger

message: The section, "The Spirituality of John Cassian" needs to be completely rewritten to remove the religious overtones of the original writer, such as "a period when the soul of the monk and the Spirit of God bonded together ". Clearly "was believed to" is needed in that sentence.
*I gave that section a good going-over; does anything still stand out as being too biased towards the religious POV? Aristophanes68 (talk) 01:15, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Overly religious tone

message: The article states that Cassian was a Universalist.  That is disputable, and the article needs to be edited so that it indicates where this opinion comes from, and that it is not universally accepted.  --Marcusscotus1 (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 06:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Universalist?

message: Cassian the Ascetic is about the same person as the subject of this article. This article (John Cassian) has more information.  The duplication has been noticed on the talk page of the other article, but apparently nothing was done about it. 152.65.133.89 (talk) 17:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I notice that the article consistently refers to Cassian using both names, whereas books I'm familiar with refer to him simply as Cassian. Is there a reason why we need to add "John" every time we use his name? Just curious. Thanks, Aristophanes68 (talk) 22:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cassian or John Cassian? 

message: I perceive this as improper use of terminology, mainly because there is no such thing as "Egyptian monasticism". Monasticism has always been defined by associated religion, and never through country or region of land. But also because the history of Monasticism itself has nothing to do with the ancient Egyptian empire of pharaohs, which is what the term may suggest to some readers. 76.90.115.62 (talk) 20:44, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Egyptian monasticism 

message: The sections entitled Doctrinal controversy and Alleged Seimpelagianism are highly redundant, and the article would probably benefit from merging them.  I came to learn, so lack the knowledge to do it.  68.163.225.17 (talk) 03:16, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Is John Cassian's feast day in the Episcopal church USA really February 29? Calendar_of_saints_(Episcopal_Church) says it is July 23, and this page does too: https://www.lectionarypage.net/LesserFF/Jul/Cassian.html 121.121.60.25 (talk) 05:21, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
