Just look in the old testament. The prophets of old, and the Apostles and their followers admonished the peoples for practicing divination, and curses on people. It is contradictory to the free will God gave His people, and His unconditional love, even to love our ememies. We are not to curse them, or to contact the dead through means of divination...They say voodoo is part of their cultures...but Catholicism is counter-cultural, and the only Truth is Jesus in the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit... It would be like saying I am a Catholic, but I also put money before God...I must work all hours of the day to get as much money as possible at the expense of other's freedom. Being a secularist/materialist is in opposition to Christ's teachings in the Catholic Church. You can not love mammon and God equally. There is no other way can we get to Heaven than to abandon the prideful self and take on the sacrificial love of Christ.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417418619787908005noreply@blogger.com
