We get so much mail from parents and educators who are concerned about the impact of occult fiction on the minds of our youth, that Johnnette decided to devote a week's worth of shows to this subject. These shows will air next week, April 11-15. I will appear on several of the shows along with renowned writer,
Michael O'Brien.
This is a great series, especially for parents, because it takes a comprehensive look at this troubling trend and gives viewers an idea of what to watch out for when choosing good titles for themselves or their loved ones. We delve deeply into this subject, exposing the occult in all kinds of literature, movies, and even games. In addition, Michael does a masterful job of explaining why this dark literature is so dangerous to the minds and morals of our children. He also explains the difference between Christian fantasy such as J. R. R. Tolkien's
Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis'
Chronicles of Narnia and books like the Harry Potter series.
A whole show with Michael is devoted to discussing Harry Potter, and I discuss the dangers of
Twilight with Johnnette and Fr. Ed on another episode.
This is a must-see week of shows!
Women of Grace airs at 11:00 a.m. EST and encore at 11:30 p.m. EST.

It's a catchy title that is sure to make it fly off the shelves, but Christians beware! Author Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan and a leader in the equally heretical Emerging Church movement, has filled this book with a false doctrine known as universalism which teaches that everyone goes to heaven because there's no such thing as hell.

Archbishop Thomas Wenski of the Archdiocese of Miami is warning the faithful not to fall into the trap of New Age "spirituality" which demands no more faith than going to the movies and is little more than "self-absorbed seeking after self-fulfillment."

Last winter I posted a blog about
doulas, women who provide non-medical assistance to a mother during and after childbirth. I found no evidence that doulas were connected with the New Age; however, I just came across an article announcing a new "branch" of doula service being offered to women who have chosen to abort their babies.

Here's another great question from TA, this one on water awareness.

Welcome to the world of water quackery! Until I started researching this question from TA, I had no idea that there are so many kinds of new fangled waters out there that claim to do everything from cure Alzheimer's Disease to enhance your red blood cells - and all of it is complete bunk.

I want to share this news story with our New Age blog friends. It contains a teaching from Archbishop Dolan on the Communion of saints and why this means Catholics have been enjoying "harmony with the universe" much longer - and in a much more authentic way - than New Agers who are always carping about wanting to be "one with the universe."
