Learn to Discern: Is it Christian or New Age

Susan Brinkmann

Today, the new age is so much a part of the cultural mindset that it is all but transparent, barely visible if visible at all. However, its tenets and beliefs remain irreconcilable with the revealed truth of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church.

The Labyrinth, Channeling, Neo-Paganism, Yoga, Reiki, healing touch, Harry Potter, The Twilight Series, Wicca, Eco-Spirituality. What do they all have in common? Though seemingly diverse, they all share in a confused notion of who God is, who man is, and what the world is - a notion incompatible with the revealed truth of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church - but a notion, worldview, that has led many into false spiritualities and practices.
