MM writes: “Can you please give me some insight on a book titled The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary by Clark Strand and Perdita Finn.

Should Catholics Watch Hallmark’s “Good Witch” Series?
AL writes: “A friend of mine watches a tv series on Hallmark channel called “Good Witch,” and she doesn’t understand why I’ve chosen not to watch it. She thinks it’s just because it has the word “witch” in the title, but I’ve tried to explain to her that it’s more than that, that the show seems to have a connection to the New Age cult and that, even if the magic in the show really is harmless, I would rather watch something else just to be safe. I’ve also researched the show a lot and what alarms me is that there a lot of witch blogs where the witches…that they love the show because it portrays witches as good, ordinary people. So, my question for you is, do you believe that we, as Catholics, should not watch ‘Good Witch?’ And if so, what are your reasons for it?”

But how well does this new history stand up to serious scrutiny?

Why the book “God Calling” is considered occultic
JM writes: “I am concerned about a group of Catholics who have been using the book, “God Calling”. I heard years ago that it was occultic and I know it is not Catholic, but many enjoy and are amazed at the daily readings and how they kind of “click” with something currently going on in their lives…. I think it is very deceptive.
