Charism is
like charisma only it's a supernatural gift of grace
given to particular people for the purpose of building
up the church for everybody. There's a whole list of
these special gifts and amongst them is the discernment
of, or ability to see, Spiritual Agents. These agents
include Angels and Devils, there's also the tricky area
of Divine Grace which is a good agent and there are
agents of Concupiscence, an odd word, a little
suggestive and well worth at least contemplating.

First thing
to note is that Concupiscence is a badness that comes
from human soul, it's seen as a desire of the lower
appetites and is contrary to reason. It's a never
satisfied passion to draw as much of reality as possible
into oneself, including knowledge, power, sex and in the
process of satisfying this lower appetite never uniting
with, affirming or loving another being. Call me
special, possessed of at least one gift of Charism if
you like, because I suspect there's some sort of agent
of concupiscence disguised as the current US President.
