What Religion does Oprah Winfrey practice?

I’m curious that’s all.
 
I know she is into the new age movement. I don’t think she really has a religion, I could be wrong though.
 
Ditto to what others have said…she essentially worships herself and is steeped in New Age beilefs. She has denied Jesus. Pray for her and for her audience of millions, she is truly a wolf in Prada.
 
Unless you are prepared to post a link or reference to Ms. Winfrey’s own program, blog, website, book or whatever in which she herself describes her own religious beliefs, it is an act against Christian charity to make your own interpretation and ascribe those beliefs to her. She is a television personality who in the course of many years on TV has had thousands of guests. I doubt she subscribes to the beliefs of all of those people.

Thank you for that reminder.

There is little on the internet that suggests Ms. Winfrey’s particular faith, nor is there any information on her official website.

However, one example that may suggest an ambivalence to Catholic viewers and their beliefs is the airing of a program that featured former priest Alberto Cutié and the scandal he created.

Catholic Answers Live, as many of you know, features guest Sharon Lee Giganti, who specializes in the discussion and dangers of many New Age tenets of guests featured on Ms. Winfrey’s show and media from other sources. The content of Ms. Winfrey’s programs shouldn’t be misconstrued as an endorsement of what Ms. Winfrey may or may not personally espouse, obviously. We just don’t seem to know what she believes–and that should wave warning flags to those who find her program otherwise informative.

In the video in post #6 she SPECIFICALLY states what SHE believes. No one is putting those words in her mouth, no one is forcing her to say something she does not believe.

I am most certainly able to make my own interpretation of a situation - that is why God gave me an intellect!!! She is a public figure who is publicly stating what she believes on television before millions of people. I call it as I see it.

Yeah puzzleannie, eat that!

I still like to see that there are celebrities out there who are practicing Catholics, such as Mel Gibson.

Is this post supposed to be sarcastic?

Seriously, puzzleannie requested that we not speculate about Oprah’s beliefs and the chastise her without having the full story. Her post was not meant to be rude or inflammatory. Why respond like this?

Considering the recent scandalous things he’s done, I’m not so sure how much of a practicing Catholic he is right now- you might want to read how he’s come up in the news over the past 4 years or so.

So - promoting a snake oil salesman like Tolle is “good works”? Supporting and campaigning for the most pro-abortion president in the history of this country is “good works”? Openly supporting the homosexual lifestyle, self stimulation, and gay marriage is “good works”?

Wow. If that’s good works according to a Catholic no wonder the Church in America is in the mess it’s in. :eek:

I don’t care how many cars she gives away, how many girls she sends to school, how many refrigerators she gives out, or how many women she “liberates” and “empowers”. It is all wasted effort if she supports and promotes gravely sinful activity or pulls one single soul away from the Truth of the Catholic Faith.

Thank you for answering my question. This question actually came to mind when I first saw that Oprah had the Dominican Sisters of Mary on her talk show.

I apologize if I offended anyone by posting the YouTube video on post #6 than again these are Oprah Winfrey’s own words.

No I do not promote the video or the book that is for sale on the video nor do I promote Oprah Winfrey.

I Pray for Oprah.
