Host: Johnnette Benkovic

Just Say No To Catholic Mindfulness New Age blogger Sue Brinkmann joined host Johnnette Benkovic on today’s WOMEN OF GRACE to talk about what is missing from “the Mindful Catholic.” Catholic Mindfulness is a new course offered by Dr. Gregory Bottaro. On April 2, Dr. Bottaro took this a step further and published a blog entitled, “The Catholic Guide to Mindfulness, or Coffee – Satan’s Drink.” In this publication, he misrepresents WOMEN OF GRACE’S position on the subject of mindfulness, then insinuates that this invented position is akin to the bumbling advisors of Pope Clement VIII who wanted him to ban coffee as an invention of Satan because it tasted too good.

Sue say that Bottaro has got a lot of things wrong and points to her new blog to clear things up. Caller Amy got into mindfulness when she drifted away from the faith. She realized she was practicing it instead of praying. She has now come back to the faith. Caller Mary asked about “DBT.” Chris called and asked about yoga and the Rosary. Carol asked about the new age and new medical techniques. Listen to Sue and Johnnette’ s answers to these question on today’ s WOMAN OF GRACE .
