Some of those comments are interesting….akin to a question such as: “What kind of thumb tacks are approved by the Holy church? My friend Sally uses Staples nickle plated thumbtacks and because of this I know she is going to hell!” ….although I might be making light of legitimate concerns, what is the spiritual danger in such a line of reasoning are there any pitfalls that I should be aware of? What is the danger in me being “Holier than thou”, it seems as right as rain?
…the sum of all evil in the world!

sorry couldn’t resist.
Father, this is not a comment but I don’t know how else to contact you.
I have posted this on the Catholic Answers Forums but didn’t receive a reply and have also asked at New Liturgical Movement but, as yet, haven’t received a reply.
In email correspondence with a bishop re a prayer weekend in his diocese the bishop told me that Hildegard von Binghen used the mandala as a prayer aid. Do you know if this is true? I Googled but all that came up was from dissident sites.
Thank you for posting that list father. Catholics have no need to seek out Hindu or New Age Spirituality when we have our 2000 + year traditions.
