I am a former Catholic, currently Presbyterian, but searching. I have a friend who is a devout Catholic. When she mentioned reading her horoscope for fun I am afraid I jumped on her with ‘righteous indignation’ saying she shouldn’t be reading it even ‘for fun.’ Her friend, also strong Catholic, supported their reading horoscopes, and I would like some clarification as to what the Church’s stand is on that practice. Thanks, Travelinkid
