Vatican Invites Katy Perry to Talk About Transcendental Meditation
LifeSite News ^ | 5/2/18 | Diane Montagna

VATICAN, May 2, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — A Vatican conference has wrapped up featuring controversial pop-star Katy Perry speaking on transcendental meditation, disgraced Lettergate monsignor Dario Viganò delivering a talk on “Fake News,” and a “meditating eye” charm bangle given as a gift to select participants.

The high-level, no-expense-spared conference was held at the Vatican on April 26-28, and was co-sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Culture and the CURA Foundation, a tax-exempt global health movement.

Conference collaborators also included the Vatican Secretariat of State, the Vatican Secretariat for Communications, and the Pontifical Academy for Life.

The gathering, called Unite to Cure — How Science, Technology and the 21st Century Will Impact Culture and Society, has been described by some as the “Davos of biotech,” due to its similarities with the high-level World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort.

The Fourth International Vatican Conference had several positive aims and featured talks from a wide-ranging panel of experts from the fields of medicine, business, media, and technology.

An odd mingling of wealthy investment bankers, celebrities, biotech leaders and Vatican officials, its stated goal was to “unite people without prejudice to stimulate an open dialogue and catalyze an interdisciplinary approach to tackle major health care challenges around the globe.”

Speakers included New Age guru and alternative medicine mogul Deepak Chopra, as well as world famous American professional golfer and philanthropist for children’s health, Jack Nicklaus; British singer songwriter and humanitarian, Peter Gabriel, whose wife recovered from cancer after receiving a pioneering treatment; and American motivational and self-help life coach, Tony Robbins. Former U.S. vice-president and Co-Chair of the Biden Cancer Initiative, Joe Biden, also delivered a message.

The Jesuits dropped Christ for Che a long time ago. Why Katy Perry and Beyonce are the darlings of the new church hierarchy is a mystery to me, but for a bunch of celibate guys, they sure are down with keeping any grass from growing on the old oysters.

Seems like a great idea.

Maybe also ask her about her recent experience with Catholic religious:

Speakers included New Age guru and alternative medicine mogul Deepak Chopra,

I remember the satire "God Is My Broker" by Christopher Buckley where the abbot at a monestary was going mad and relied on Chopra's teachings. It's a satire not a plan.

Time to shut down the English language. Every possible combination of words has been used and that is the last one.

Katy Perry helped kill a nun. She did not need that property. I hope it is haunted when she moves in.

The next Pope needs to either shut down or purge the Pontifical Council for Culture and send the existing staff to start a monastery in the desert of Saudia Arabia.

between this and the Pope’s incessant “Global Warming” propaganda, it’s difficult to know who the Vatican represents these days.

looking at the lengthy list of “celebrities” in the LifeSite story, am not sure any of them are actual catholics.

Next time someone asks the rhetorical question “Is the Pope catholic?”, you can answer “Probably not”.

The Beatles made Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a Hindu, a household name. Yogi made transcendental meditation, a Hindu Practice, a household activity. The Catholic Church made Hinduism practice part of the Roman Catholic faith
