So would being extremely reclusive a defense against the evil eye? You may not be able to use your blessings effectively, but no one can be jealous if they don’t know you exist.
I knew that Rome and I weren't going to get along when the catechist gave me the evil eye and boy did she open them wide. Even after receiving full catechesis via a Priest one on one, I still refused initiation into Rome. Five years later, the Son of God came to me in the flesh and coronated me into Eternity so their condescension resulted in my promotion and backfired on them.
