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

RING AROUND THE DEMON




The laying on of hands indicates the transference of something. According to St. Thomas Aquinas the "imposition of hands is made, to signify some abundant effect of grace, through those on whom the hands are laid being..." The laying on of hands is also a symbolic act of delegating Authority. This is something we Catholics try to teach and defend to Protestants. Only those in Holy Orders can confer Sacramental Grace or lay hands on the sick. “Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord…” does not mean lay people!



In addition, there is a real risk of demon transference when the laity is involved with the laying on of hands. Charismatic prayer meetings and charismatic conferences are prolific breeding grounds for demon transference. The “turn to your left and lay your hands on the person next to you, now turn to your right and lay your hands on the person next to you” pretty much ensures that if there is a demon in the house it will be passed around. Under these circumstances the transference of demons is guaranteed.

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.
