We have received several questions from parents about a relatively new kind of music known as electronic dance music (EDM) who are wondering if this music is dangerous.
Gavin Long, the former Marine who killed three policemen in Baton Rouge last weekend was a self-styled New Age guru who penned three books containing a wide variety of esoteric ideas about how to become healthy in mind, body and spirit.
Who says adult coloring books have to be filled with mandalas and Buddhist symbols?
LL writes: “I have carried with me and read the Pieta Prayer Book for two decades. A lot of the prayers are some of my favorites. Somebody just told me that the Pieta book is bad, and shouldn't be used. Is that true? Is it New Age, or is it a good Catholic Prayer book approved by the Church?”
JB writes: “ . . . [O]ver the past few years many of my fellow Catholic moms have started selling Norwex, like Tupperware, but more of a house cleaning thing. At first I was intrigued, but the products seem to lean towards 'chemicals are bad' (um not when my kids have gotten sick and I need bleach to clean my toilet, but ok), and after visiting their website something just smelled of population control, or the like. Any ideas?”

CF asks: “Could you please tell me about the site of Tradition in Action (TIA) and why they question Divine Mercy Sunday? The site claims that Sister Faustina did not get messages from God. It is very disturbing that this site came up on my Facebook page when researching Catholic teachings.”

Neuroscientists basically study the impact that music education has on the brain, especially at an early age and how it promotes brain and cognitive development . . .
