Key quote from the article:

The only authoritative assessment of the Enneagram issued by the Catholic Church is to be found in the 2003 examination of the New Age movement, Jesus Christ: The Bearer of the Water of Life. It was promulgated by the Pontifical Council for Culture and the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.

The Holy See presents the Enneagram as the principle example of "New Age" gnosticism that is, in the words of Pope St John Paul II, in "conflict with all that is essentially Christian”.

It’s an inexpensive Briggs-Myers type of test

The enneagram isn’t based on religion. Not sure what the fuss is about.

That enneagram belongs with other play sciences.

Like astrology.

That is my position as well.

I read the report when it first was issued and have wanted to read it again, but I forgot the title of the document, so thanks for posting this.

I worry more about the so called “Catholics” helping islam spread and curry the Africans to pinch off more evil offspring humping virgins to cure their AIDs.

I enjoy talking personality test and have tried many.

Strengths Finder 100% Took in 2007 and look at results daily.
Myers Briggs 40% Helpful for about two years then useless.
Taylor Caldwell 20% Nice questions. Useless results.
Enneagram 0% boring for adults, fun for hippies and freaks.
