I’m thinking of attending a workshop sponsored by some nuns. It’s called Personal Healing = Planetary Healing. My concern is that I may be asked in the course of the workshop to join in “prayers” to “Mother Earth” or some such nonsense. I’m not saying this will happen, I just would like some advice in the (hopefully unlikely) event that such a thing is asked of me. Should I speak out immediately? Silently leave immediately?
Stay and pray the Rosary? Stay and take notes, then report it to the bishop?

My purpose in attending is 1) to find out what they’re teaching, because the same order teaches in our parish school. 2) Also this same order is contemplating endorsing the the Earth Charter, which has as a premise that the earth is over-populated and as a result, has become polluted. I’m thinking of bringing along some papers refuting the over-population myth and showing that population aids economic development, which in turn makes cleaning up the environment more possible.3) I’d like to bring some articles refuting the teachings of Teilhard deChardin, who advocated “planetary healing.” If that’s the kind of “healing prayers” they’re talking about, I believe there is cause for concern.
 
Perhaps some who read this and didn’t respond said a prayer for me. If so, thank you! I’ve decided, with the help of prayer and counsel from friends, not to go to this workshop. As one friend put it, “Why make more trouble for yourself?” Instead, I’ll be praying for the participants. May God bless and heal them all, and the world He died to save!
 
Cathy,
That’s what I was thinking. There are probably other ways to find out what the workshop entails (maybe requesting a packet of handouts used) and probably more effective ways of refuting anything out of line. God bless!
 
I am guessing if they are pushing Teilhard they are Dominicans, or else Ursulines who are into every new age heresy you can think of. Branches of both these orders have gone way off the deep end, although I am sure there are still congregations of both who remain faithful to the truth.
