Here is a more detailed view from the Catholic Catechism; Divination and magic 2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility. 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future.[48] Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. 2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity. Aieno Wrote: Catholics believe the sheep are Christs, but Peter or the present day pope looks after them. Thats what it says if you read it with a open mind. For example: If I was going out to the store to buy ice cream and I said to you Aieno, "I am going to the store, remember feed my kids" are they your kids? no they are still my kids, yet you are looking after them. Aieno Wrote: Why didnt Jesus pray to the Holy spirit specifically? as we know the Holy spirit intercedes for us. "Why?" can be asked for nearly anything. Why are we here? why did God let Satan deceive Adam and Eve? why this and why that. Aieno, instead of going arounds in circles just produce your scripture. Peace |
