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

SUPERNATURAL EXPLOSION



"Many false prophets will arise and deceive many" (Matthew 24:11)

Charismatic Beliefs:

Signs are ongoing and normative.
God gives continuing revelation.
God operates through emotions rather than through the intellect.
God continues to give revelation to charismatics.
God speaks directly and audibly to charismatics.
The presence of the Holy Spirit can be felt by charismatics.
The Holy Spirit continues to manifest to charismatics.

"People who claim the gift of speaking in tongues, of causing healings, well — this is the case, if they claim such gifts, this would leave me rather perplexed and particularly make me fear that if the gifts were authentic, they might be lost if they are claimed. That is, I do remember that — in general — the Saints (and though one might quote St. Peter in Acts 3:1-12 in the contrary sense) who have these gifts, particularly of doing miracles, healings, etc., were rather wanting to hide these gifts, than to claim them. Now, this does not, of course, exhaust the problem, and so, I think you know well that in the world of today, there is not on the part of many a great interest in the mysteries of angels and devils. No, and you know also that a small minority of apostles of satanic cults are very fascinated. However, it seems to me that one cannot understand the Mysteries of the Church and various gifts without having recourse to the consideration of the holy angels in the Church and of the possible activities of devils against it." — French Catholic theologian Fr. Bertrand de Margerie, S.J.

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.
