When one examines many New Age traditions, it soon becomes clear that there is, in fact, little in the New Age that is new. The name seems to have gained currency through Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, at the time of the ...

St. Irenaeus would not be pleased with the fact that the New Age Gnostics have picked up on this Gospel of Judas and used it for their own purposes. One only needs to mention the National Geographic presentation on this.

Third, Gnosticism is alive and well in some traddie circles-that is, people who feel that have special or inside knowledge of spiritual things gravitate either to New Age groups or traditional groups. Last, superstition is the lazy ...

Again, good luck trying to find an orthodox, conservative director and not one involved in New Age interpretations of the classic thirty day retreat. In a mini-series, of which this is the third part, I want to cover a basic approach to ...

One went to live in the mountains of upper state New York. He lived in a small château at the edge of the mountains. He learned hunting and shooting and read Japanese and New Age spirituality on the simple life.

That is a New Age confusion of terms. We are called to be like the Father, Our Father, in whom we were made in His Image and Likeness. St. Bernard of Clairvaux has said that we have kept the Image,but lost the Likeness and ...

In a New Age perspective, illness and suffering come from working against nature; when one is in tune with nature, one can expect a much healthier life, and even material prosperity; for some New Age healers, there should ...

The classes on theology which allow discussion of universal salvation as a reality or women priests as just a matter of time still proliferate and the major retreat centres offer new age spirituality condemned by Rome.

My concern is that cults are proliferating with prophecies of the end times, with the problems in established religions, and with the popularity of New Age ideals. Cults are usually defined as religious worship or a community ...

One may have be involved in New Age activities, like going to a New Age counselor, of which there are many in England. Such activity as seeking out false and even heretical forms of counseling would lead to a loss of ...

She examines the abandoning of what she calls "traditions" for what she describes as "real religion" and what I would describe as new age hodge-podge. A few quotations from her article shows us a person who believes in ...

That the New Age movement has kidnapped her is most unfortunate, as the interpretations lead people astray. She is not a seer of the goddess movement, nor a prophet of feminism. Here is the Pope from the 2010 series of ...

First of all, do not read any books on this, as there are none which are not contaminated by New Age nonsense. Second of all, the idea is not new and for years there have been Oblates, who are lay men and women ...

This section is very New Age and sounds like something from the 80s. Of course, all the great mystics and spiritual writers instruct us to start with meditation, of the Life of Christ and the attributes of God, moving from meditation ...

New Age followers, especially on the Internet, seem to have over any discussion on creative energies by placing these in the context of yoga (condemned by the Catholic Church), vague humors or energies to be found within ...

Lay people are not taught to get in touch with God Who dwells within and, horribly, the new age people have taken some of the language of the saints and twisted it for their own ends. SS. Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross ...

I am disappointed with lay communities in Ireland and England. Either they are full of undisciplined, hippy-type, New Age, unorthodox Catholics, or they are Anabaptist. This is why I want a Eucharistic centered strictly TLM one.

Hodgson is one of the original New Age writers, so I do not recommend her books lightly. For a particularly solid child, one who knows the Faith, this book and "The Secret Garden" are fine. The trouble is that Hodgson did not ...

There is a "church" in America, based on New Age heresies, which honors an angel named Ariel. There is no angel in the Catholic Tradition by that name, although it is used, of course, in literature. A church in the Quad-City ...

Any Catholic or Christian group involved in this type of ministry may be merely New Age stuff and not reliable. Any group calling itself Catholic has no authority to do so. There are several individuals and groups that have ...

And, he warns us against the rising neo-paganism and even New Age junk-religion. The world really brings no new argument to its aid,—nothing beyond its own assertion. In the very outset Christians allow that its teaching is ...

Please do not read popular, new age books on contemplation. These are deceitful and dangerous, concentrating on the person, the individual, rather than on the Trinity. This is the key. Affective prayer, which is part of ...
