IS IT ROMAN CATHOLIC OR IS IT GNOSTIC CATHOLIC ?
Rosaries of Divine Union
The website is the work of Fr. Michael Adams.
You will find it linked on this Catholic website which looks to be a traditional Roman Catholic website.
It is linked at this website of valuable religious links. It too appears to be traditional Roman Catholicism.
But then I also find it linked on this website of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church of Antioch--an Independent Catholic Church that traces its succession through Joseph Rene Vilatte, as can be noted on the above-linked webpage, and the Liberal Catholic Church, as can be seen here. Notice the URL for this church: "holyspirit.livingrosaries.org". Both the Rosaries of Divine Union and the Holy Spirit Catholic Church of Antioch are located in Fairfield, Iowa. Both websites include the name of Fr. Michael Adams.
You can read the prayers for one version of the Gnostic rosary here.
Lon Milo DuQuette and his wife Constance are offering a workshop for the Gnostic rosary. DuQuette is the Grand Master of the (or an) Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) Lodge.
It is in an OTO Lodge where you will find the black mass. This is NOT the pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church! Has it become the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church?
Meg's Wicca Page provides several varieties of rosaries including the Rosaries of Divine Union.
Roman Catholics are easily fooled. Or is it that this doesn't matter anymore?
It is often said that abuse does not preclude use. On the web, therefore, abuse has become the ticket to legitimacy.
Just as Soloviev, who was often cited by John Paul II, encountered the Divine Sophia when studying Kabbalah, today's Catholics are as likely as not to take up a rosary dedicated to Sophia and think they are praying to the Virgin Mary.
We have had 40 years of doctrinal chaos. Now comes this web-based state of even greater chaos. How long will it be before the web-based chaos becomes the normal state of affairs in the Catholic real world via ecumenical and interreligious pursuits?
When Christ returns will there be any faith on the earth?
I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
What is a "strange god"?
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
