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

CLOAKED IN HOLINESS



“Nations die of softening of the brain, which, for a long time, passes for softening of the heart.” (Coventry Patmore)

The willingness to serve, generous giving, concern and love for others do not authenticate the charismatic movement. We find the same traits among followers of false religions as well. Shintoism, Taoism, Jainism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Falun Gong, New Age, DLM, Hare Krishna, Islam, Christian Science, Jehovah Witnesses, Scientology, Mormonism, etc. all have some very nice and devout followers.

I have seen my father weep over Sweedenborg. I knew necromancers who freely gave everything they had. I grew up in a household saturated with new age. Despite all that, my parents were deeply religious and compassionate people. My husband has an atheist friend. One would be hard pressed to find another person who volunteers or cares as much as that man. I know a young woman who would be most certainly dead from a drug overdose, if she didn’t meet her future husband who is a Jehovah Witness. Can any of this prove that new age, necromancy, atheism or the JW religion are from God?

Feeling close to God is no proof either. Some of our saints never had spiritual consolations. Yet the psychic world offers plenty. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that Catholicism has to be dry and without spiritual consolations. But spiritual consolations do not validate anything, besides the counterfeit is able to stir up the same effects... so how something FEELS is no proof of authenticity.

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.
