Study: Relief From Acupuncture Linked to Placebo Effect
A new study published last week in the Arthritis Care and Research journal found that among 455 patients with painful knee arthritis, acupuncture delivered no more relief than a sham treatment.
Another Cult Leader Charged with Rape
Here we go again. Police in Salt Lake City have issued a warrant for the arrest of a cult leader who claims God appeared to him and said he was the Holy Spirit and the father of Jesus Christ on charges of felony first-degree rape.
The Assumption is an Antidote to Reincarnation
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) is reporting that during his homily on the Feast of the Assumption, Bishop Munilla of San Sebastian, Spain, said the dogma of the Assumption is "an antidote to beliefs in reincarnation" because it reminds us that death produces the separation of body and soul, but at the same time underscores that "faith in our resurrection at the end of time is the greatest characteristic of Christian hope."
Crystals
AK wrote about being given a crystal by a friend who said she should use it to find "clarity, atonement, and peace." Certain that the object was given to her out of love and kindness, she now asks what she should do with it. "Do I just look at it as a pretty geode? Do I return it? I'm not interested in giving my friends the impression that I promote or believe in the power of crystals."
Auras and Kirlian Photography
New Age practitioners swear by them and claim you can tell just about anything about a person by reading it. Others believe you can use it to diagnose illness and change the way a person thinks. What is this remarkable tool?
House of God's Light Prayer Groups
MF writes: "What is your opinion of the ecumenical prayer group, House of God's Light, affiliated with the Catholic ministry Heart of the Father? They pray in a Presbyterian Church and are involved with using a deliverance ministry. They appear to be part of the Charismatic renewal. Can't some ecumenical activities lead to a mindset of moral relativism? If all churches are equal, who has the truth? Also, if some of the involved churches promote abortion and gay rights, isn't there the risk of giving aid and comfort to the enemy? (We are in a culture war, especially in the area of pro-life.)"
Suspected Devil Worshipers Steal Consecrated Hosts
Satanism is on the rise - and its cruel and despicable rituals are taking place in the backyards of America on an ever increasing basis. To follow is a chilling account about the deliberate theft of a ciborium full of consecrated hosts that appeared in the local press in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania on August 5, 2010.
More "Christian" Yoga
CF writes: "I am shocked over the 'A Different Kind of Yoga' article published this week in the Arlington Catholic Herald! It even states that 'because of its foundation in Hinduism, yoga can be a controversial topic in Catholic circles'! This article also quotes from Father John Hardon calling yoga 'incompatible' with Catholicism due to its pantheistic origins. Just what about the First Commandment "I am the LORD thy God - thou shalt have no strange gods before Me' does our diocese not understand?"
