Catholic Word of the Day: CLAIRVOYANCE, 05-04-13
CatholicReference.net ^ | 05-04-13 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random):

CLAIRVOYANCE

Seeing or knowing events occurring at a distance without the use of sensibly perceptible means of communication. As with telepathy, the available evidence indicates that this is a rare but natural phenomenon. Its exercise and evaluation should therefore be based on the same principles as other human actions.

Clairvoyance is one of the familiar physical phenomena of mysticism. But the Church's custom is to be very circumspect about admitting anything more than natural psychic powers and cautious in warning the faithful about the possibility of demonic intervention. (Etym. French clairvoyant, clear seeing.)

Sort of like when a mother knows something is wrong with one of her children.

But much stronger.

Yes, but some use this for new age crap. I have met them. If they say they are Catholic- I will pray then sense to call them on the carpet. I have challenge these people who mix Christianity with this occult damnation to the soul. I have seen some interesting stuff. I am just mentioning this because they will use this word to justify their actions in the occult.

But in proper context here is something I remember that happen in the early 1970's. My cousins wife sister had a sense she was in danger. She dropped everything went to her house where a "repairman" was working on an appliance. She sat with her sister while this man was there in the house. After he left they found out he was a know rapist. Thank God nothing happened.
