I suppose some form of a MAGICSTERICAL to deal with demonized aliens speaking through a cat in Poughkeepsie has SOME merit.

How worth the risk, it is, of all the other idiocies magicstericals tend to get into is another issue entirely.

I still think St Paul’s exhortation to get some humble old codger in the congregation—full of the wisdom and anointing of Holy Spirit to decide troublesome things is a safer route. Of course, these days, there seems to be a dearth, drought of humble old codgers.

But magistericals in any group tend to be known more for the opposite of humility. Pride is never a great route to wisdom and safe theology.

Proverbs 13:10 — By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom.
