Please do an article on Fr. Rolheiser, especially regarding his Holy Longing book. If you haven't read it, please do, I'm begging. He is so widespread and I see much that discomforts me in his writings.”

The field of health care has a lot of new players these days – and many of them have little or nothing to do with conventional medicine. There’s complementary medicine, alternative medicine, whole medical systems, mind-body medicine, integrative medicine, etc. These fields are inundated with New Age practitioners, so it’s a good idea to learn what they are and what to watch out for.

"What is Tong Ren and what do you know about it? A close Christian friend of mine has a 10 year old daughter who has brain cancer and has trusted in the Lord consistently until the cancer got worse and there was no hope given by doctors for a cure. I know my friend is desperate to get her child healed but recently went to a Tong Ren session and said there would be a 'doll and a hammer' used.
"I was quite disturbed about this and sent her an email begging her to not do this. I believe it is against the first commandment. She is angry with me and went to this session anyway. I worry that this practice will only make matters worse for her child...what do you think?"

CK asks:
"My friends and I like to watch certain anime series. If my friends talk about a new series, I always ask if it’s bloody or has anything like signs that refer to stuff of the occult. I refuse to watch bloody anime; my friends aren’t into ‘heavy’ anime series that are loaded with fan service or yaoi/yuri or hentai, but after reading some of your articles, I don’t think they know what they’re getting into when they watch some of the series they watch. . . .
