You start to see these movies not as they're meant to be seen (divorced from time, running 90-180 minutes) but as they actually present themselves (subject to time, 90-180 minutes of an eight hour whole). There's a funny thing that happens when you binge movies released over many years in the spans of weeks or days: time mutates. Therefore, here's the current "Conjuring" timeline explained. To parse out the franchise's relationship to recorded time is to know its weighty ideas and deeper aims. It could be - for all intents and purposes - the fundamental story of life.
Since every film either reveals new spirits from the Warrens' trove of horrors or delves further into said spirits' origins, the scope of good and evil's endless struggle extends backwards into history. As the Conjuring-verse grows larger, it's core argument become more potent. That's heady stuff for a franchise that has devoted a third of its films to possessed dolls, and it's the tenet which makes each "Conjuring" spin-off more than IP-extension. If he exists, so will evil, and therefore it must persist. Evil is a counterbalance of good and, ironically, validates the existence of God.
First: that the evil in this world - which exists and is often malevolent - may be combated through good Christian values, including faith, duty, and the partnership of marriage (given the Warrens' real-life charlatanism, this theme is sort of a sticking point). There are two major themes that link the eight films in the "Conjuring" universe.
