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

LOVE YOU IN THE LORD





Hugging is a major part of the charismatic subculture. Although the prayer meeting hug gave me a glimpse into the different personalities, I used to dread it with a mixture of amusement.

Some people leap to hug with great exuberance, others are less than enthusiastic. But whatever happens to be your thing, you have no choice, you HAVE to hug! I remember a woman who used to have this amazing skill to hug without touching. Ah… the bear huggers! These are the people who make it their mission to squeeze the life out of you. All of these can offend dignity, privacy or people’s feelings. Who wants a full embrace from a complete stranger or hug a person in visible discomfort? I used to linger and chat away with someone, just to cut down on the hugs I would have to exchange. It was an embarrassing spectacle; a pretentious exchange of affection. Put on a good front Muriel, I used to tell myself, you don’t want to hurt the gorilla. Don’t get me wrong, I like to hug. But I resent artificial affection forced on me. There can be a lot of genuine warmth in a smile, in a “how do you do”, or in a handshake.

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.
