The bishops add, “Some forms of Reiki teach of a need to appeal for the assistance of angelic beings or ‘Reiki spirit guides.’ This introduces the further danger of exposure to malevolent forces or powers.” [more from Catholic Culture or the MSM.]Well, I guess it's a good sign when I... |

Fr Tom Ingoldsby of the Salesian Order accused patients of the complementary therapy of “opening the door to evil and occult forces which have later side effects”.

Father Ingoldsby made his remarks in his ’Fast Food for the soul’: in the Open Door newsletter, which is distributed free to... |
