Enneagram — Catholic Roots?
Front
Did the Enneagram originate in Catholic tradition?
Back
No. While popular among some Jesuits and Franciscans (like Richard Rohr) starting in the 1970s, it has no historical presence in the Church prior to the 20th century.
Explanation
Some attempt to link it to the Desert Fathers or Evagrius Ponticus, but historical evidence shows no connection to the Enneagram symbol or system.
