What Kind Of Vibrations?

Yesterday (Sunday Feb 6), Pope Francis gave an interview on a popular Italian TV talk show.  He asked viewers who don't pray to "send good thoughts, good vibes".  Five years ago, we heard the same sort of idolatrous talk from him, when he asked an atheist mayor to "send positive waves" and to a group of reporters to "send good vibrations..if they aren't believers".  

I said it in that post and I'll say it again.  This isn't harmless buffoonery in which the pope is engaging.  This "vibration" talk is part and parcel of New Age.  The pope was affirming those people in their idolatry and atheism.  He should have been calling those people away from those falsehoods into the truth of the Faith and the eternal life that Jesus offers via His Church.  Instead, they were encouraged to feed on their poisons.

Poisons it is - spiritual poisons, that is, most likely straight from hell.  For if these people aren't praying to the One True God, to whom are they praying?  No, they aren't praying into the ether, for such prayers will most likely fall on diabolical ears.  Vibrations, indeed!  Why is not the Chief Shepherd of the Church leading them away from this thinly-disguised satanic activity to Our Lord, His Church, His Sacraments, etc?  These people desperately need solid bread, not snakes nor scorpions.  Pray for these people, and for the pope for he has much for which he must answer.

Vatican Vibrations?

Remember Father Lefty Goodvibes from almost seven years ago?  I'm wondering if he was called to the Vatican to offer his services there - perhaps as a shaman.  Now calm down!  Of course "Goodvibes" is a fictitious character.  I only wish some of the slop coming from the pope's mouth were just as imaginary.  Papolaters, if you think the term "slop" is overly harsh, what would you prefer I call the unabashed indifferentism and New Age glop that he uttered a few days ago?  Bovine excrement?

I'm referring to his recent letter to the mayor of Paris, who happens to be an atheist.  He asked her prayers, but if she is not inclined, to send him "positive waves".  Is this an example of the "new evangelism"?  To affirm someone in their sin against the First Commandment?  To appeal to New Age idolatry?

This serious lapse is not the first such episode. In June 2015 he asked a group of reporters to "send him good vibrations" if the "cannot pray because they aren't believers".   Why didn't he urge them to pray?  Did he have any concern for their souls?  Is he not the chief shepherd?  Our Lord had something to say about true shepherds versus hirelings.

Will prayerful Catholic songs soon be replaced by the following?  I regret that in this clip seems to sum up the pseudo-spirituality evinced by the pope's letter to the mayor.  Let's continue to pray our rosaries that Our Lord will once again be honored at the Vatican.
