If your child is making a Christmas list that contains tech gifts, parents need to make sure they're "checking it twice" to be sure the gifts are safe!
Several readers have questioned whether or not the writings of Thomas Merton are suitable for Catholic reading due to his seeming espousal of eastern mysticism toward the end of his life. The answer to that question is yes – and no. Let me explain.
MG writes: “Is it true that some people are using their embryos left over from IVF treatments as jewelry? Isn’t this kind of evil against Church teaching?”
We recently had a question on Wacky Wednesday asking us about the rock’n roll hand symbol, also known as the “devil horn” symbol. Are users invoking the devil when they flash this symbol?
We’ve had a few questions lately about the meaning of a popular “blessing” used by New Age enthusiasts in which they say to one another “sending you light and love!” It sounds harmless, but is it?
We recently received an email from a reader who was concerned about a family member who was becoming increasingly distant from family and the Church after seeing a therapist who was involved in recovered memory therapy. The alleged “facts” about abuse that were brought out in these sessions began to tear the family apart, bit by bit. What was the family to do?
LH asks: "Is the philosophy of "Birth Order" and it's effect on how we behave New Age?"
BB asks: “Is it okay for Catholics to listen to the podcast, The Telepathy Tapes?”
MF writes: "Do you have any information on a supposed Catholic SEER named Charlie Johnston? His name and dire coming vision of the year 2017 was shared with me. It was very disturbing and never came true. I wanted to see if there was any reliable information form the Church and other credible individuals about Mr. Johnston and his visions.”
EE writes: “I would be very grateful if you could help me with a question. My boyfriend and I want to get married. We are both Spanish but we share a nice bond with Ireland due to several reasons. My boyfriend would like to give me a Claddagh wedding ring but I am not sure if it´s an occult symbol. I may sound a bit simplistic, I know the history behind it, and I know it´s very popular in Ireland. The problem is that I have dwelt in the occult a long time ago and I do not want anything to do with it again. Could you please help me and confirm whether or not is an occult symbol?”
