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

ZEN





A Zen Christian Humanist writes:

”I'm a full-time lay pastoral worker in the Philippines. I'm the head of a Catholic lay covenanted community with 70 core members which was founded by my late father in the early seventies ( 1972, to be exact). All of our members are lay people coming from all walks of life (single, married, students, professionals, businessmen, etc.) trying to live a Christian life in the world. Our community was the offshoot of the Charismatic Renewal. (go figure!) However, our community has a strong contemplative orientation since our main charism is Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed in our community center 24 hours a day.

Although I'm Catholic and our community members are all Catholics, (you figure?) we are open to other forms of prayer and meditation from other religious traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. My own exposure to oriental spirituality started during the seventies, when I got hold of 2 books - Christian Yoga, written by a Benedictine monk - Fr. Dechanet, and Christian Zen, written by Fr. Johnston, a Jesuit priest.

I started to practice Zen meditation in the early eighties under a Canadian nun who is also a Zen Teacher and a disciple of the late Yamada Roshi. However, for one reason or the other, I did not continue my Zen practice. It was only recently that I resumed the Zen practice that I started many years ago. I had the opportunity to resume my Zen practice by attending a one-week Zen retreat a few months ago given by a Filipino nun who is also Zen Teacher and a disciple of the late Yamada Roshi.”

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.
