Workshops on the enneagram, astrology, and even channeling are being
held
in Catholic parishes, reports Fr. Mitch Pacwa. Is this the dawning of
the
Age of Aquarius among Catholics? In Catholics and the New Age, Fr. Pacwa probes the reasons why many Catholics are dabbling in the New Age Movement. He shares his first-hand experiences and disillusionment with Jungian Psychology, the enneagram, and astrology as a Jesuit seminarian. He also provides invaluable information on New Age fads in the 1990”s including the use of crystals and channeling. Catholics and the New Age is must reading for you and other members of your parish or religious community who are concerned about the growing influence of this movement. Mitch Pacwa, S. J., is professor of Sacred Scripture at Loyola University in Chicago. On the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), he hosts a series on the New Age and is a popular writer and speaker on Catholic involvement in the movement. “Mitch Pacwa’s Catholics and the New Age is scholarly enough to satisfy the theologically literate, yet personal and practical enough to be of solid value to the average lay person. It will help readers avoid the subtle traps of the New Age Movement.” - Russell Chandler, Author, Understanding the New Age “…a fascinating, autobiographical journey into the world of the New Age and the occult…What is especially excellent about this book is that Fr. Pacwa points out the contradictions in these movements as well as their philosophical and theological errors.” - Rev. James J. LeBar - Consultant on Cults for the Archdiocese of New York |
