Catholics, Witches and New Age

Filed under: Theology — shelray @ 10:34 am

I came across an article on The American Daily called Catholics, Witches and New Age , where the author used the example of a couple of catholic parishes and some orders of nuns co-sponsoring a conference called Earth Spirit Rising - Return to Earth Wisdom as an example to why only solo-scriptura Christians have the confidence of divine revelation avoid this type of infiltrations in their faiths.

It is shameful that areas within Christendom are opening up their gatherings to that which is contrary to God’s Word, especially so when lead by so-called spiritual leaders such as nuns, priests and pastors. Divine judgment in condemnation will settle upon such persons for leading others astray.

Satan has always attempted in every generation to do everything demonically possible to keep persons from discovering the eternal truths in Scripture. Those aware of this must continue to lift up the Bible as the sole divine revelation — complete in itself with no need to detour into alternative means of communicating with the divine.

Those caught up in New Age teachings must be prayed for earnestly by genuine Christian believers. “Other practices such as the enneagram and labyrinths have gained widespread use in Catholic retreat centers.

I agree with his first paragraph, but the mentality of which he professes is actually what has led to a theology of personal preference and this often gives way to relativism.

With all good intentions - some of whom I have a close personal relationship have recently expressed their concerns of an alien paganism in Roswell NM, to which I travel no more than necessary; while others shudder at the thought of their previous celebrations of Easter and Christmas. While they believe they are guided by Scripture and the Holy Spirit as their source of Divine Revelation, in reality they are blindly accepting the traditions and authority of obscure preachers and authors. God love ‘em.

  1. Yes, “God Love ‘em” … because they don’t even see that the camel is in their own tent too.

    But w/that said, it does bother me that there isn’t more direct teaching regarding the errors that abound w/the ideologies that are put forth at conferences such as the EarthRising-types. Visit the sponsors’ & patrons’ websites and these religious orders don’t even hide their affiliations & friends. It is all very sad.

  2. Even sadder, it’s no longer out of the ordinary.
