I realize sometimes it's hard to detect joking around via the printed word.
You could have put sarcasm tags around your statement, FRiend. :-)
I wouldn’t put it past someone to believe your statement though, plenty of loons get on here, from time to time.

Thanks. I’m a wee bit nervous about it now. :)
Yes...she is a seeker, and yes...she has released the “kundalini” energy.
It sounds like she’s heavily into TM and even having out of body experiences.
She has quite some interesting ideas that are slowly saying to me - “disconnect from reality”
would you say your class is more of a pilates class then?
Your input is appreciated.
I think this Bishop might have gone a bit far, though I would agree with a warning as some folks do come up with some hokey pokey ideas surrounding the whole Yoga thing and quickly veer off into quasi-Buddhism....like at one Retreat House run by Jesuits on Long Island I can think of.
Yoga as excercise good (just ask my Supernumerary Opus Dei cousin with eight kids uses it to keep in shape), perhaps even excellent from those folks I know who use it to keep get/keep in shape.
Yoga as religion bad......
Wonder if she can do anything about my priest that WEARS AN EARRING!!!!!
You SHOULD raise a stink!! The preist probabky thinks Yoga is just a work-out class! Next, they will have a Lodge Meeting of Masons!
Obviously you are NOT a practicing Catholic, are you?
Are you a male? Just asking because of your name.
Get real.
With that being the case where the question is one of the neutrality of the State in the practice of religion. How much more seriously must we take the commandment of God, to have no other god’s before Him. To allow the desecration of a Church by inviting a pagan religion before the very altar is a sin of gravest consequence. It is, to not put too fine a point on it, demonic. The Church should be reconsecrated and prays offered for those who endanger their souls by their error.
We should feel shame and horror that so many Catholics are so poorly catechized that they see no problem with this idolatry. Pentecost is approaching pray that the fires of the new pentecost inflame the hearts of the faithful. That the passion for Christ’s truth this flame ignites leads to a great evangelism. That this evangelism brings souls to Christ and enlightens our world.
Why would you put yourself in that position? “Lead us not into temptation”.
Amen....it’s like pot....leads to deeper things.
Because there was no temptation. I hadn't the slightest interest in partaking in any of the foolishness this guy was peddling.
Then why did you say the Rosary?
Does a Catholic need an excuse to say the Rosary?
Did you ever find out anything more about the earring? I thought his response to you was saying no response at all (that is, saying he’d worn it for a many years).
There used to be limits on priestly jewelery, if not exactly canonical, at least traditionally understood. I don’t think an earring would be okay, if only for the unease it’s causing his parishioners. Since your earring-wearing priest is in his 60s, surely he should know that.
People definitely go off the deep end. My friend spent ages waiting for a response from some Indian guru to whom she had written inquiring about the nature of reality! About a year later she got a response, in which he said that a rope looks like a snake and a snake looks like a rope, and who is to know. No wonder she went bonkers.
