charismatic heresy

UNMASKING THE CHARISMATIC HERESY "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths" 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect" Mark 13: 22 - "The smoke of Satan has entered the Church" Pope Paul VI

CATHOLIC YOUTH BIBLE



Re: the Catholic Youth Bible and some examples of “highly problematic additions:

• “God, loving father and mother” prayer - page 1049

• Sweat Lodge “Great Spirit” ceremony advocated - p 1005

• The Book of Jonah is called a “fictional short story”, a “biblical satire” and is ridiculed: “the reader is giggling at the goofiness of pigs...” - p 1072

• The Gospel of Matthew is presented as fictionalizing Jesus: “The author of Matthew wanted to show how Jesus broke with certain Jewish beliefs.... So in the Sermon on the Mount, the Gospel has Jesus giving new interpretation to Jewish laws.... Such incidents probably reflect the experience of the author’s community with Jewish leaders as much as Jesus’ own conflicts”. - p 1120

• A Native American sun worship prayer is included. There is no warrant for including such material from a completely pagan source. - p 1258

• The explanation of Jesus’ institution of the Eucharist is seriously defective, and undermines Catholic teaching on transubstantiation:

“... [Jesus’ disciples] share the loaf of bread that he identified as his body given for us and the cup of wine that he identified with the New Covenant sealed by his blood”. - p 1237 (emphasis added)

• The text advocates celebration of Kwanzaa, the recently invented African-American winter holiday. - p 187

• Comments about African-Americans (p 7 and p 735) are inexcusably condescending: Much is made of different “shades” of “blackness”, kinky hair, etc.: “Whatever shade they are, it is good. And if you are one of them you are black and beautiful”. - p 735

• God as Father avoided: “The God whom Jesus called Abba is the parent of all nations...” - p 940 Source

About Me

I am a recovering charismatic and a Catholic Orthodox; observing orthopraxis to the best of my ability. I acknowledge what the Church REALLY DOES TEACH; opposed to what some people erroneously say the Church teaches. “Catholic Orthodoxy” is proposed "to conform to the Catholic faith as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. So an "orthodox" person is one who is FAITHFUL to the teachings of the Church, whereas a "heterodox" person is somebody who rejects ANY Catholic dogma. Orthopraxis means "Performing the correct actions". Catholic Orthodoxy is defined by the Catechism: it tells us what we have to TO BELIEVE. Catholic Orthopraxis is denoted by the Code of Canon Law: it spells out what we have TO DO. Because “Truth is not determined by a majority vote" -- Pope Benedict XVI.
