Having worked in this field for years as both a researcher and reporter, one of the most frequent requests we get is for priests who are knowledgeable about the occult to help people with problems such as infestations, oppression, spiritual bondage, the breaking of curses and other occult-related ills. Where can they find the help they need?
In spite of the popularity of Ilumination’s Minions franchise, their latest release, Minions & Monsters, features occult practices so prominently and unapologetically it has many Christians, including exorcists, crying foul.
Christian parents are being warned about Hexed, an animated Disney film scheduled to be released at Thanksgiving that portrays witchcraft and black magic to children in a light so favorable even a former psychic/witch is calling the film disturbing.
We recently received a question from a reader who was wondering if Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has any basis in the New Age. We are happy to report that it does not!
TOV writes: “Jericho Marches are being conducted by Catholics in order to influence the outcomes of certain situations. The marches are not New Age, but are they Biblical because a God-ordered march was conducted by the Israelites around the walls of Jericho? Do they have any precedent in the Church? Or are they of Protestant origin?”
SG writes: “Might you be so kind as to let me know if this new stuff I have learned from a new friend is going against GOD our only healer or if I am ok using these cards . . . as positive things and affirmations? I was born and raised Baptist now Methodist and I need to know as I am very unsure and don't want to open the door to witch craft.”
SpunkySB asks: “I have a sweet little dog named Spunky who is having a few health challenges. He has some lower back arthritis that has recently gotten worse. I am a big advocate for using God's gifts to treat things naturally whenever possible and was blessed to find an integrative veterinarian who has a Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. Since his arthritis is progressing, it was recommended to try acupuncture. I have recently read some articles about the benefits of acupuncture from a Western perspective. However, I know that her view of acupuncture comes from her schooling in Eastern medicine. Do you feel that I could safely have acupuncture done on my dog, without the risk of any spiritual repercussions for either of us?”
MBB asks: “What is esoteric Christianity?”
We recently received this testimony from a reader of our blog who warns that even people who consider themselves to be devout in their faith can be seriously harmed by dabbling in New Age and/or occult-based practices. As this reader warns: “The devil seduces Christians into the New Age by making it seem harmless.” It’s not!
MG asks: "What does the Catholic Church say about the mathematical evidence in the design of the pyramids, having to do with creation of our universe, judgment and time as we know it? Also the healing evidence of persons and nature around a pyramid? Is it against the church to use pyramids for plant and bodily healing as long as Our Lord is our foundation?"
