Lorraine and Ed Warren are they genuine?	Doris	Friday, April 11, 2008
Question: I have just read the book, The Demonologist and found Lorraine Warren's 'necromancy' disturbing. On one hand she frowns on seances and yet if 'she' conducts them, they are okay. The Warrens also claim to be 'accepted' by the Catholic Church. This I find hard to believe! What is the Church's official opinion on the Warren's?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Doris: Your instincts about the Warrens are correct. I do not recommend them or their material. Not only do we no recommend them, but our ministry is in the process of documenting just how dangerous the Warrens were. They are hardly Catholic in their approach. They use séances and psychics and schismatic bishops in their work. They propose stupid theories about how spirits manifest that is contrary to the basic theology on angels and demons. And, their errors and arrogance as be replicated into nearly every "ghost-busting" organization out there. They need to be exposed and we are doing that. The Church has no "official" opinion about the Warrens, nor would the Church issue any official opinion. The Church cannot issue opinions about every little thing that happens in our world or on every wacko out there. If it did the Church would get nothing else done Indeed, such an "official" statement is not needed as we already know that resorting to séances, psychics, and schismatic bishops is sinful. The Warren's claim to be "accepted" by the Catholic Church and to have the unique title from the Church of "Religious Demonologist" is a lie. Avoid the Warrens. God Bless, Bro.

Question:

I have just read the book, The Demonologist and found Lorraine Warren's 'necromancy' disturbing. On one hand she frowns on seances and yet if 'she' conducts them, they are okay. The Warrens also claim to be 'accepted' by the Catholic Church. This I find hard to believe! What is the Church's official opinion on the Warren's?

Dear Doris:

Your instincts about the Warrens are correct. I do not recommend them or their material. Not only do we no recommend them, but our ministry is in the process of documenting just how dangerous the Warrens were.

They are hardly Catholic in their approach. They use séances and psychics and schismatic bishops in their work. They propose stupid theories about how spirits manifest that is contrary to the basic theology on angels and demons. And, their errors and arrogance as be replicated into nearly every "ghost-busting" organization out there.

They need to be exposed and we are doing that.

The Church has no "official" opinion about the Warrens, nor would the Church issue any official opinion. The Church cannot issue opinions about every little thing that happens in our world or on every wacko out there. If it did the Church would get nothing else done

Indeed, such an "official" statement is not needed as we already know that resorting to séances, psychics, and schismatic bishops is sinful.

The Warren's claim to be "accepted" by the Catholic Church and to have the unique title from the Church of "Religious Demonologist" is a lie.

Avoid the Warrens.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
