Have you ever known one of those people whose life is in total disarray, but instead of focusing on cleaning up their own act, all they do is tell other people how to live? If there were an international organization for people like this, it would be the Catholic church.
Mired in disgusting scandal after scandal, the Catholic church is known to be an organization that commits and covers-up pedophilia and the sexual abuse and rape of children. There are literally many thousands of child victims across the globe, and these scandals are so common place now, that people have outrage fatigue. Now, the Pope is under fire for not accepting responsibility for the evil being perpetrated by Catholic leadership worldwide. The Pope blames all the sex abuse on the devil, and he refuses to do anything about it, or even publicly acknowledge the victims.
In a recent article by Independent Ireland, Catholic Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan is quoted as saying he intends to establish a ministry tasked with chasing the devil out of earth. His major concern appears to be going after new-age healing methods, specifically Reiki energy healing. He says that it opens the gateways for demonic spirits to enter into people.
Keep in mind that the Irish Catholic church is notorious for sexually preying upon children.
Furthermore, Reiki isn’t new age. It was developed in the early 1900’s in Japan by Mikao Usui, who realized that healing energy can be transmitted between human beings via the hands and directed intention and visualization. You can call it new age pseudoscience (as Wikipedia does), if you like, but that won’t change the fact that it works wonders for millions of people every day. We are, after all, beings of energy, and to call this satanic should rightly smite God himself who made us.
Here is a quote from the Independent article on Bishop Cullinan’s comments:
Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan… said he was told by the brother of a reiki master that the man was “working on somebody one day when he actually says he saw a vision of Satan” and was “scared out of his wits, dropped the reiki and went back to the Church”.
Speaking to Eamon Keane on WLR FM’s ‘Déise Today’ programme yesterday, the bishop said: “You’re channelling energies, in inverted commas, you could well be opening yourself up to letting a spirit in which is not good and is dangerous stuff, actually.”
He said he “absolutely” agreed with Pope Francis’s view that child abuse is caused by Satan.
“This is something that has to be done in secret because you don’t let these people’s names out, and they are going to houses where people maybe have been involved in some kind of new-age thing or some kind of séance or that kind of thing, and unfortunately, they’ve opened up a door to an evil force, Satan.
“Does Satan want to destroy the human person? Of course he does. Not only the Church, but anywhere and everywhere that he will get in.”” [Source]
