Three daughters of Lucifer

I recently came across a statement by the Medieval French soldier, and writer, PHILIPPE de MESIERES  (1327-1405), a Crusading propagandist, who after the defeat of the Christians by the Turks at the ‘Battle of Nicopolis,’ fought in Bulgaria on Sept. 25^th, 1396, he stated in one of his works, that the reason for the defeat of the Christians, was because of what he called:  “The Three daughters of Lucifer,” that of: 

1)Pride   2) Cupidity (the lust or desire for money & possessions)   3) Luxury.

 I like that: ‘The three daughters of Lucifer.’   

It is happening again today. Europeans/Americans can’t come together against a ‘common foe’ or the Muslims, because THOSE THREE VICES are exactly what is plaguing the West: its obsession with ‘things’ and Devil-may-Care living, as happened with ancient Rome, when the ‘Barbarians are at the Gates,’ but no one cares, be they Russians in the Ukraine, or the Islamic threat in all Christian nations.
