Contemplations of a Cradle Catholic

Recently I’ve been reading a lot about Oprah and Marianne Williamson and their “New Age” Religion and their presentation of A Course in Miracles over Oprah’s XM radio broadcast. If you’re not familiar with “New Age” thought then let me enlighten you.

“New Age” is more of a feel good philosophy, which in itself wouldn’t be wrong or bad in any way, but it puts so much emphasis on self approval that it disregards that all selves are sinners. One of the more radical teachings of “New Age” is that “there is no sin” and The Cross is worthless.

And now 0ur final nominee for Best “New” Post-Modern Heresy is Oprah and Marianne Williamson with A Course on Miracles. Oprah with her broad sphere of influence and her public role as a mentor to the masses is able to communicate and distribute this “New Age” Heresy. Marianne Williamson steps in as the “expert” on this NEW WAY which obviously means that it is a valid and sound philosophy. Together they are bringing many lost souls out of what little light they may have and pitching them right into the darkness, Screwtape would be so proud.

DUN-DUN-DAHHHH!! And the winner for Best “New” Post-Modern Heresy is… Oprah and Marianne Williamson with A Course on Miracles.
The fact of the matter is, as Chesterton put it, “a new philosophy means, in practice, the praise of some old vice.”
