"Ask a Priest: What If My Daughter Says God Tells Her to Skip Church?" - RC Spirituality

Q: One of my daughters says that God speaks to her. She says she feels as if she is in heaven, has no need to attend church…When I asked her how she learned so many things about God, she says she listens to this voice which she claims is God the Father… She teaches some of our family members what she is learning. What should I do?

The priest said: “God won’t contradict himself, telling the Church one thing and then whispering something else to your daughter.”

Sounds like the daughter got involved in “Course in Miracles” or some such thing.

I would be concerned about daughter’s mental health. Often these things start out looking normal but over time get worse.
