He pointed out his critical approach to main points of the doctrine introduced by Eustachius i.e.: the refusal of marriage and condemnation of the possession of any property, even in order to use it for charity purposes. It is clearly visible in his late writings – <em>Letters, Moralia. </em>St. Basile proved, in these writings, the necessity of the use of properties, from a biblical and ecclesiastical point of view because – for example to pay taxes. The positive approach which accepted voluntary poverty is clearly visible in his <em>Moralia, Greater Asketikon and Lesser Asketikon. </em>The bishop of Caesarea considered voluntary poverty as the mean to achieve a state of the unity of Christian life. The only Christian purpose is to give glory to the Lord and salvation.</p>}, journal={Vox Patrum}, author={Kasprzak, Dariusz}, year={2010}, month={Jul.}, pages={257–273} }
