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

CHARISMATIC MASS


Hopefully everybody is wearing deodorant

Charismatic Degradation of the Liturgy

Charismatic Masses are accompanied with a great deal of emotional expression. They are long, because the sermon is often very long and because there is always a great deal of time spent on praise and waiting on prophecy. Unfortunately they are also fraught with liturgical abuse. There are all sorts of additions to the liturgy; tongues, prophecies, background music, swaying, handholding, hugging, dancing, and clapping. The music is folksy, loud and overly dramatic.



Gospel Procession at St. Nicholas


Talk about dancing… Twenty years later there is still talk about a conference at the local Sports Center. During the mass a priest grabbed a nun and they waltzed around the altar to the shrieks and laughter of the congregation. It happened before my time, but those who were there still talk about it. It would seem there are plenty more doing the same.

About Me

Canada
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.
