CALLING THE QUARTERS
Dale Price has blogged this Pagan website which offers prayers similar to the ones the Archdiocese of San Francisco had on its website but has revised due to protest from the laity. What is happening within the Church that such a thing could take place?
Bettnet has this website linked. It offers another prayer to the four directions. Seems to be the Catholic Education Offices of the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens. So there is verifiable heresy on both coasts.
The Pope, himself, has been a party to a prayer to the four directions:
With a Prayer to the Four Directions Mr. Birgil Kills Straight from Kyle, SD, on August 13th opened the ceremony of Journey to Holiness for 4,000+ men, women and children gathered in the Arena at Sioux Falls.
The Prayer Ceremony was the opening event of the Catholic celebration of the Millennium in the Diocese of Sioux Falls.
Mr. Kills Straight is an internationally known Sioux Prayer Leader. In 1985 in a sacred Sioux ceremony with the Pope, the Dalai Lama and leaders from the Major Religions of the world Mr. Kills Straight prayed for Peace among all God’s Peoples.
There is this Christian Witchcraft website offering candles with pictures of Catholic saints for sale. Scroll down to the bottom of the website to learn how to "read the candle" as it burns.
The Catholic Education Office of the Diocese4 of Wollongong also has the prayer to the four directions on its website. In this instance it's named the "Four Winds Prayer."
And on that discouraging note I'm going to sign off for the weekend. Till Monday...
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
