Does anyone have an opinion on this course of study and Marianne Williamsons “Return to Love”? Can you still be a good Catholic and follow many of there ideas and still do all the things that good Catholics do? I would like positive and negative comments. Thanks.
 
I’m sorry Francesco but this is New Age thinking which uses some Christian aspects that put Christian’s minds at ease, but the Church has spoken against this.
The New Age Movement began with a member of the Theosophical Society, Alice A. Bailey.

The Vatican speaks regarding the new age religion/teachings

You can read what Pope John Paul II said regarding new age thinking (as encapsulated in A Course of Miracles, reported in L’Osservatore Romano, English edition, 2 June 1993), paragraphs 4-t under the heading
Catholicism and the New Age https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=6542

I agree that such thinking is suductive, but under all its forms, it is not campatible with the Catholic faith.

Thank you for your question.
God bless you

Yes, and my opinion is the same as Trishie’s. Don’t go there. Plenty of legit reading material out there.

Father Benedict Groeschel made it quite clear that those writings were not of God.
 
I was in the New Age movement and you want to steer clear of anything tied to it. Whatever they offer, we have better.
 
Can you give me a couple of positives? It is possible to study both?
 
You cannot follow both light and darkness, both Truth and lies.
 
Honestly I can’t. I’ve never been more spiritually confused and frustrated while being so far from any kind of truth as when I was a New Ager. It’s not something I’d even consider considering. As far as studying or learning from both, imagine you’re a giant and you’ve got one foot each on a pair of trains running parallel. They may run together for 10 miles, 100 miles, maybe 1000 miles, but eventually they divert and begin moving away on separate tracks. And only one of those trains is going the “right” way.
 
If you want to read it to gain something, fill a spiritual need, then I agree with those that posted before me. The Catholic church offers something for all spiritual types so you don’t need to look outside of the Church. If you find something that feeds you that the Church doesn’t offer, I submit that whatever that might be is not of God.
