Watching the Hollywood Medium for Kicks

BC writes: “My friend and I get a real kick out of Tyler Henry, the Hollywood Medium, and love watching his show. We’re both Catholic and know what he’s doing is against Scripture, but we only watch it for entertainment. Is it okay to do this as long as we don’t endorse this kind of work?”

Occult-Themed Tattoos Must be Removed or "Sealed"

AG asks: "I have a question about my tattoos. When I was heavily involved with the occult I got a heart shaped peace sign, an ankh with angel wings, and a phoenix tattoo. They all meant something when I got them, but when I came back to the Church I have been trying to find a way to link them with things I believe in and the church believes.

Bakugan, Star Wars and the Occult

JS writes: "I was wondering if you could explain to me what ties if any the game bakugan has to the occult.  My son, who is in kindergarten, came home begging for bakugan items that he had seen other kids had at school.  I thought that I had heard it had ties to the occult but not familiar enough with the game/video and could not find any occult information on it from the internet.  We would not allow the game, figures or cards into our house but I have had a hard time explaining exactly why he could not have the items. Do you have an easy way to explain occult to children?  I am also wondering if StarWars The Clone Wars" has occult ties."

MR writes: “I have Catholic friends who really like Wayne Dyer on PBS and tell me that he believes the same as we do.  I think he is a new ager who twists the truth.  Would you do a program about the incompatibility of his work with Catholicism or share your insights about him on your blog page?  I need your help in expressing my concerns about him.”
