More Witchcraft And Paganism By
Catholic "Nuns"(?)
Do they live in convents or covens?
A Hat Tip to Gillibrand over at Catholic Conservation.
I've already commented on New-Age mumbo jumbo infiltrating into The Church, and here we have yet another example of paganism trying to pass itself off as Catholicism... and to make matters worse, there are so-called "nuns" honchoing this effort.
They tell me that Sacred Labyrinths are a form of "body prayer," a way of using the whole body". Hey Sister... so is kneeling in front of the Blessed Scarament and engulfing ones self in the very real presence of Christ. Or is that just a wee bit too Catholic for you?
*Sigh* Sister Mary Linebacker... where are you when we need you? And bring your yardstick.
Here's a lil' sumpthin' I found at a "Sacred Geometry" site:
Labyrinths have been around for over 4000 years and are found in just about every major religious tradition in the world. They have been an integral part of many cultures such as Native American, Greek, Celtic and Mayan. The Hopi called the labyrinth the symbol for "mother earth" and equated it with the Kiva. Like Stonehenge and the pyramids, they are magical geometric forms that define sacred space.
Also, "It can also help to balance the chakras". Oh golly.... heaven forbid my chakras gets out of alignment. And to think I just had my chakras balanced at my last oil change and tire rotation.
And before I forget, I also found that the good Sisters also engage in "Massage Therapy". A bunch of aging 1960's burn-outs performing "prayerful massage"... now that's just disturbing.

I offered my services to a retreat center which had a labyrinth on its grounds, but I was firmly told that they had no need for a Minotaur...
LOL!!! ... or even a caveman?
Guess not. Even though either would add an element of "play" to the experience.
Also, I've always wanted to do the labyrinth thing, but only if I could ride a pogo stick and yodel at the same time...
We had to do a labyrinth on my confirmation retreat, I didn't get much out of it and I felt out of step with what a good Catholic should be. Back in those days though I thought everything they were telling me in confirmation class was what I needed to know to be a good Catholic. A few years later I realized my discontent towards it all was really just true Catholicism aprehension towards new age junk.
Since I lost Tradition for awhile in my life, when I went to the Novos Ordo church, I thought I should do something; like be a eucharistic monster, or a reader or something, but I never got around to it. I was once askd to "bring up the gifts", I wouldn't do it. Not because I knew it was a ridiculous thing to do, I didn't know what the gifts would be! and for whom? the poor, the hungry, WHO? Oh, for the Lord!!!, excuse me.
But in reading Fidei Defensor's post, it makes me realize that I had more sense than I realized. God protectd me from all that stuff I could have been involved in. Deo Gratias.
