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

PARISH MISSIONS




There is a new breed of clergy, the parish mission priest. He goes from parish to parish, providing religious entertainment and more. He has little in common with the missionaries of old, who risked life and limb going to inhospitable places to spread the faith. They had no honorarium, no expense account, no transportation, and no place to stay. The parish mission priest is more like a traveling salesman; each one has something to sell on top of the honorarium and the travel reimbursement. Father welcomes them, oftentimes not even knowing what harebrained ideas they will teach to the flock. They walk the walk and they talk the talk and then they turn around and sow heresies among God’s people. Like the guy who thought us “centering prayer”* or the one who had the congregation praying “Our Mother who art in heaven”** for two days. Most of them are charismatic through the core; charismatic in a sense of having vibrant personalities and charismatic as in belonging to the Charismatic Renewal. I have yet to meet a mission priest with true orthodoxy.

*Centering Prayer

**God the Mother comes from pagan sources. The excuse the priest used to pray “Our Mother” was the male AND female aspects of God. Except that God is a spiritual being and not a hermaphrodite. Maleness and femaleness are both aspects of God; however God speaks of Himself in the male pronoun. Jesus Himself talked about God as his Father. So we refer to God as “he” because HE does it so; and to call him “Mother” would be like calling an earthly dad “mom”.

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.
