I really liked this part:
The church's guidelines state: "A Catholic who puts his or her trust in reiki would be operating in the realm of superstition, the no man's land that is neither faith nor science. Superstition corrupts one's worship of God by turning one's religious feeling and practice in a false direction." |
Pot, kettle, black, eh?
And this one: Reiki master Judith White, who is a Christian, said the bishops had misunderstood the therapy. "There is so much bad information about reiki, anti-Christian information, on the internet," she said. "It says we channel spirits and that's not true. Reiki balances energy in the same way as acupuncture or reflexology. I know of two nuns in the Philadelphia area, one who runs a retreat centre, who have done wonderful work. The bishops weren't talking to women like that."

Like hell they weren't!
So these bishops think that reiki mumbo-jumbo ain't hittin' on shit, do they? On that I agree with the cracker-cannibalizing, cross-dressing, bead rattling, woman-hating, power-hungry, Nazi-pandering, pedophile-rapist-coddling assholes. But beyond that, be damned to them all and all that they stand for.
