Pro Sanctis et Fidelibus

Sunday, September 10, 2006

I have been looking at an illustrated guide to the Traditional Mass on Ebay and received an email notifying me the auction will be ending soon. Now there isn't anything interesting about that unless you are a Traditional Mass attendee but what is of interest is the list of 'similar' items, which includes:

A Complete Guide to Palmistry
Illustrated Guide to Wicca
Tarot Cards- Major and Minor Arcana

It appears Ebay hasn't quite learnt to distinguish between authentic religion, paganism and superstition. Not that you could blame them when vast numbers of Catholics get caught up in the same thing in the mistaken belief that it is all quite harmless. Mind you if you consult any good Catholic book on the workings of the Devil, you will find these practices - I refer to ouija boards, palmistry, tarot, wicca, etc - listed as among his more subtle methods of drawing souls away from the faith. I just wonder how many Ebay users who go looking for Catholic books or articles of devotion end up delving into the dark and sinister.
