This is exactly what I mean. Does the catholic church say it’s okay for catholic’s to seek fortune tellers, or those whom “speak to the dead”?

Ecclesiastes 9: 4-6

Psalms 146: 3-4

Deuteronomy 18:9-13

Galatians 5: 19-21

No. It's forbidden.

God's Word makes it very clear.

Nope no fortune tellers in the Church, just the Body of Christ, the Communion of Saints and Christ as our head.

Your interpretation of Holy Scripture and the Communion of Saints is your own and you are of course welcome to it on your own authority.

No, it is forbidden by Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

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. 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.

No, not at all.
