“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?”

We recently published a blog about the so-called Order of Exorcists which many believe is a legitimate order of the Catholic Church. They are not! The following testimony is from someone who found out the hard way that this organization is to be avoided at all costs (literally).

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. Unfortunately lazer removal and coverup jobs are way out of my budget to do. I am wondering what I should do. What would you suggest?"

"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."

Wayne Dyer (1940 - 2015)
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.”

“Help! I found a strange bundle of sticks in my daughter’s room. They were tied together with a twine string and had a crystal attached. I found them hidden in a shoebox under her bed. I’m afraid they might be associated with witchcraft. Do you know what they are?”

Just because most public schools no longer promote Christian spirituality doesn't mean they are "spirituality-free." As this recently received email explains, many schools are merely replacing Christian spirituality with other forms of "spirituality" - including that of the New Age and the occult.
