This bishop speaks of how Christians should see and react to the occult. He also speaks of such things as astrology, magic and witchcraft, spiritualists, satanic music groups, and the new age movement, in specific terms, after making general remarks about this.

Hopefully our Catholic youth are being instructed in the dangers of the occult.

I recall never hearing a sermon on these dangers! I have a personal experience with using a Ouija board many yrs ago which I thought might be instructive to tell to religious ed classes (of older students, 6th grade and up maybe). Sometimes they just need to hear a real experience that really happened to someone who is a devout Catholic (though I was not back then). I would ask my priest about doing this first, of course.

I thought the article was excellent. I have used Catholic Culture's web site for research re who is orthodox and which web sites are not.

Happy Epiphany everyone,
Mimi
