Priests who are involved in the Charismatic Movement are generally progressive with heterodox leanings. They tend not to emphasize Catholic Doctrine; their interest lies elsewhere. What they end up promoting is often contradictory to Catholic doctrine. But have no fear, even the most outrageous ideas can be dressed up to appear Catholic and every initiative can find sufficient support for take off.

"The Enneagram is an ancient spiritual tool for teaching discrimination between good and evil, between sin and virtue. It has foundations in all three of the monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Sufi Islam, because the wisdom is universal, deep and life-changing for all searching peoples."
(Fr. Richard will be holding the conference "The Enneagram and Paradox" in Assisi, Italy from 29 May until 1 June, 2008.)
Then there is Fr. Rohr’s “Thomas Mass”
and the “Thomas Mass” is a Rohring mess!
What the heck is a “Thomas Mass”? It’s not real Mass. Thomas Mass is a Mass like worship service.
Rohr’s Thomas Mass was summed up here “Unfortunately, as a spiritual midwife - presiding over a play-acting “mass,” offering revisionist scripture, trying to democratize and politicize religion, particularly among fellow Catholics – his gift to the world is only so much Rohring ego-vision. That’s pretty miserly for a fellow who might have brought them to God.”
Jesus told us to call God “Father”, but Rohr knows better than Jesus. According to Fr Rohr God is "Father-Mother", which can only mean that God is a hermaphrodite. @
At the 2007 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress Franciscan Fr Richard Rohr “prefaced the Our Father, by saying, “and now, knowing we are more one than we are many, though we come from different places and races, we all share the same Father-Mother God. We call upon our God, together, in the words that Jesus gave us: Our Father, Who art in Heaven...”

But alas that is not all his flakiness.
The processional hymn was accompanied by bongo drums, the liturgical dancers twirled huge banners down the aisles, the intercessions were accompanied by hand movements, the sashaying offertory procession had more banners, liturgical dancers, a white tablecloth, a large wicker breadbasket of hosts and wine plastic pitchers.
Rohr prayed over the gifts, “...make sure this people is hungry and ready to eat. Make sure we are not so filled with ourselves that there is not room for another person within us. Loving God, make sure this people is very hungry”; 'cause "I am Richard. So Hear me Rohr". @ Another article by Stephanie Block exposes the pro-homosexual leanings of the nationally known writer and lecturer Fr. Richard Rohr.
October 1996: Fathers Rohr & Robinson hold a homosexual commitment ceremony at CAC for Center’s co-director, Wendy Corry.
Rohr writes, four years after the CAC commitment ceremony: “Without wanting to take sides here on this immensely divisive issue, one must admit that the mainline Christian position held by most of the churches against same sex marriage, with the exception of the United Church of Christ, creates a situation that in effect encourages the very promiscuity that it rightly condemns.” (On the Horns of a Dilemma: Catholic Teaching on Homosexuality, Radical Grace, 10-12/01)
PRIESTLY RAP
Cool dude, Fr Stan Fortuna, banalizer of the Catholic Faith rapped to the Holy Mother to "cook you in an oven like a corn muffin and slice you down the center, slather butter on you and make you tender”

ONE SMELLY PRIEST
Prominent Polish cleric plans to launch a new perfume line:
"Father Henryk Jankowski made his chops while taking part in strikes which led to the end of communism in 1989 as part of the Solidarity movement. Setting out his plans, Fr Jankowski told the daily Dziennik newspaper that his initiative would "do everyone good".
"I am for it as long as it serves a good purpose," he said. "If necessary I will also sing and dance." From Creative Minority Report Smells Like Holy Spirit -- smells more like sulphur to me.

PRIESTLINESS IN AND THROUGH THE BHARATA NATYAM
In Bombay, a Catholic priest, Fr. Francis Barboza SVD, uses classical Hindu dance in his ministry. Barboza adapted Hindu rituals and customs including chandan (kumkum, vibhuti, and aarati. He calls it “inculturalization”. (Lumiere du Monde, November 1983)
Check out Barboza's Stage Presentations the links reveal a frightening hodgepodge of Christian with the Pagan.
"Recital based on Lord Rama & Lord Jesus."
"Recital based on Lord Siva & Lord Christ."
"In the Name of All Gods" - "Recital on major Religions of the World."
"A Ballet based on the life of Maria Rafola, a nun from Spain who worked for the poor and sick."
"A Ballet based on the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu."
"A short ballet on the life and activity of Shri Laludeva, a Sindhi Deity."
There is a well known book by Michael S. Rose titled Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption Into the Catholic Church. Sad to say that many of Rose’s allegations are true. If you were to read it or have read it already, you may be interested in a balanced critique by Fr Robert J. Johansen as it appeared on "Culture Wars". What is most disconcerting is not what Fr Johansen disagrees with, but what he found accurate in Rose's writings.
