Things I love about witchcraft:
- It puts me on touch with nature
- It encourages me to take an interest in other cultures and religions
- It inspires me to take part in self-exploration
- It helps me live as a more-in-touch person with myself, Goddess, others and nature
What are your favourite things about witchcraft?
You seem to have some trouble understanding what the Catholic Church teaches about witchcraft, so I’ve included a section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the topic.
There’s no such thing as Catholic witchcraft. Please stop pretending that Christianity and witchcraft are incompatible, and if you’re going to engage in blatantly anti-Christian practices, keep it out of the Catholic tag.
There are plenty of Catholic witches here on Tumblr. Unfortunately, due to poor exegesis and hermeneutics, people misunderstand what the Bible shares about witchcraft and what it means to be a witch. I encourage you to do your own research and keep an open mind.
And Catholic witches want to respond?
There are plenty of Catholic witches here on Tumblr. Unfortunately, they’re all committing grave sin and turning their backs on God. They deny some of the basic tenets of the Catholic Church, including constantly breaking the first commandment.
@homiesexyal This is an argument I hear a lot, and I’d like to point something out about it. The basis of what you’re saying is solid - we shouldn’t look through the Bible and cherrypick what to believe and what to ignore. That’s absolutely correct. However, using these examples as a “gotcha” is in itself cherrypicking. In chapter 10 of Acts of the Apostles, Peter receives a vision from God wherein he is asked to eat of the unclean animals - shellfish, mammals with cloven feet, etc. He denies three times, and each time God tells him not to call unclean what God has declared clean. Jesus himself reminds us in Chapter 12 of the Gospel of Matthew that it is now what enters or covers our bodies that makes us unclean, but what comes out in our speech and actions and what lives in our hearts. He reminds us to look to the letter of the law, not to the word of it.
Please, don’t cherrypick the Bible in order to tell people not to cherrypick the Bible. It won’t work.
Bitch, your tag says don’t mess with your faith but you’re over here telling people how THEY should practice theirs. I can’t with you. You’re still cherry picking btw. Pulling up a part that just contradicts an earlier stated “law” is cherry picking. You’re saying “we don’t go by that one, we go by this one so we can still eat fish.” I feel so bad for OP.
So here’s what we’re gonna do. I’m going to go back to my faith and seminary formation, and you can go back to your biased views about Christianity that you got from the media and blindly accepted without bothering to look further into. If you have questions and would genuinely like to know what Christians and Catholics are called to believe, I’ll be happy to entertain. If you aren’t willing to listen, I won’t speak.
I propose reissue of the Malleus Maleficarum
You go too far
Nah that’s y’alls go to. Kill everyone you don’t like. Come kill me. I’ve been waiting a while to die. 😂
