Catholic Mysticism is a dynamic part of the Catholic faith. I'd even argue ALL of Catholicism is "mystical". However, over the years we have disenchanted the faith and traded our mysticism for an over intellectualism and even a modernism. #Catholic #Catholicism #Spirituality #Christianity #Mysticism #prayer

Speaking of which, free trials have been activated over on the Patreon, so if you'd like to access the full versions of this series, head on over to: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping ... Let me be your Virgil today, dear listener, or your Orpheus, as we descend into another infernal circle of the fin de siècle Satanic scene. The attendant TWs, folks, this is another dark one. This episode includes: Our cont'd mapping of the overlaps & interconnections b/w the Symbolist, Decadent, Rosicrucian, Theosophical, & Satanic scenes in London; a closer look at J.K. Huysmans's transition from Naturalism to Symbolist & finally Decadent Satanism, as well as homoerotic & pederastic themes in his novels Against Nature & The Damned; Huysmans's occult apprenticeship under the Satanic Abbé Boullan, at least one of the prototypes of the Satanic Priest Canon Docre in Là-bas; his beliefs in "expiatory suffering" & Dolorism; his predecessor Eugene Vintras; the Mystic Substition of Pain—antecedents of Crowley's later philosophies of "initiation through sexual transgression"; Boullan's reputation of holding Satanic orgies & child sacrifice, and fellow occultists Stanislas de Guaïta & Papus's investigation into his cult & misdeeds, which led to a black magic duel (that Huysmans's maintained took Boullan's life); contemporary French depictions of the devil (Dr. Bataille, Michelet, Bois); Sar Péladan's Salon de la Rose + Croix; his Catholic Legitimist & Bourbon Restorationist father, who founded his own Catholic sect; his crazy alchemist brother who OD'd on strychnine; Péladan's claim that he could utilize remote viewing for espionage purposes (which he declared to French President Félix Faure); Péladan's connections to many prominent artists, poets, & composers—Erik Satie, Debussy, Wagner, Christina Rossetti, W.B. Yeats, etc.; his many collaborations w/ the Satanic painter Felicien Rops; his Eastern & Catholic Mysticism; the Moonchild; Marcel Schwob's depictions of witchcraft & Satanism in his stories "The Embalming Women", "The Faulx-Visaiges"; & "The Sabbat at Mofflaines"; Schwob's literary & aristocratic networks; first mention of Aleister Crowley's favorite "upstairs" club, Le Chat Blanc (The White Cat); more of Crowley's time in Paris; a brief foray into Italy to discuss a few anecdotes from Crowley's Abbey of Thelema; academics drinking cat blood & dying; a murderous prostitute named "Tiger Lady"; Crowley's bloody ties & Ripper story; Kenneth Anger; the "sexually transgressive" wall murals; getting kicked out of Italy by Benito Mussolini (prefiguring our later discussion of Crowley's expulsion from France); Affaire des Poisons & the La Voisin trial; the black magic black market of King Louis XIV (the Sun King); La Voisin & Guibourg's Satanic rites; various assassination attempts with poison; a brief Israel Regardie bio; his time as secretary to Crowley; Aleister's World War I counter-espionage stories in interviews w/ Paris-Midi; his exile from France; and the curious fact that a terrible rail accident occurred on the exact same Brussels-bound line exactly 3 hours & 32 minutes (or 333?) before Crowley was to depart for Belgium via train (and the obligatory wonderments about this all together too coincidental fact).

Ever wondered why the Catholic Church teaches Mary is the Mediatrix of Graces and Co-redemptix? It certainly sounds controversial doesn't it? Even a lot of Catholics don't fully understand it, much less Protestants. In fact, famous Protestant evangelist Dr. Ray Comfort - popular for the "Way of the Master" series with actor Kirk Cameron - recently posted a video that maligned Catholics for our beliefs about Our Lady - a video that showed Matthew Leonard teaching about Mary - so Matthew decided to respond.

You have been robbed, lied to, and deceived. You have been told that Catholicism is full of rigid ideals, repetitive rituals and a lack of mystery and magic. You that's not wrong - that is certainly the way it is now - but before over-intellectualism got it's nasty hold on Catholicism, it was a system wrought with ceremonial magic, cleansing, banishing, and using the power of God to heal, manifest, even curse. This episode, I invite you to reconstruct your magical belief system around Christ, Mary and the Saints. Not as a religion, but as a spiritual doorway into discovering your own power, and the magical power of the divine. Many people tell me they want to work with Catholic spirits due to their ancestry, but then tell me all of the issues they have with Church dogma. Here I not only discuss the importance of a practice outside the church - but I also discuss these objections, and offer solutions that make sitting with these figures more palatable. I then close the episode discussing some of the most powerful tools, rituals and practices in folk Catholicism.

https://youtu.be/0xwGSThPczQ SCROLL DOWN FOR AUDIO ONLY It's impossible to read St. Paul's letters without coming across the topic of suffering. It's everywhere. And it's because the question of suffering is constantly nagging us. Why do we suffer? What does it mean? If God loves us, how come we suffer? Enter St. Paul. His teaching is absolutely essential to the understanding of suffering and how it can become beautifully redemptive through the Cross of Christ. So to unpack his amazing (very Catholic) teaching, I asked Dr. John Kincaid, an expert on St. Paul, to join me on the Art of Catholic. In this episode we discuss: The essence of the Catholic teaching on redemptive sufferingHow what I was taught as a Protestant about suffering didn't really understand St. PaulHow we can actually "rejoice" in our suffering along with St. Paul (Col. 1:24)Why it's okay to be weak (yep!)The incredible meaning behind Paul's discussion of "labor pains" in Galatians that will totally expand your view of redemptive suffering This is an incredibly eye-popping conversation and it's perfect timing for our liturgical time of the year, as well as what's going on in the world.

The reality is that we are at war. The forces of darkness are trying to destroy your life. They're trying to kill you. And it appears the battle has intensified, which means you have to be ready. And that's why I asked EWTN's Dan Burke to come on to the Art of Catholic and discuss his new book Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits. But we're not just talking about the warfare itself. We're going to talk about how to deal with it and protect yourself from the Evil One.

Sister Thorn and Catholic Mysticism in Modern America (UNC Press, 2013) is a detailed journey into the life of Margaret Reilly, an American Irish-Catholic from New York who entered the Convent of the Good Shepherd in 1921, taking the name Sister Crown of Thorns. During the 1920s and 1930s, Sister Thorn became known as a stigmatic who bled the wounds of Christ. In this microhistory of Thorn's story, Professor Paula Kane immerses readers in a world in transition, where interwar Catholics retained deep mystical devotionalism, yet also began to claim a confident new role as assimilated Americans. She does so through a very provocative question: “How did a stigmatic help ordinary Catholic understand themselves as modern Americans?” In the process, Professor Kane explores religious practice and mysticism through a number of theoretical literatures–including theology, psychology, feminism, sociology, and cultural studies–opening up multiple new avenues for scholars of religion to consider.

She does so through a very provocative question: “How did a stigmatic help ordinary Catholic understand themselves as modern Americans?” In the process, Professor Kane explores religious practice and mysticism through a number of theoretical literatures–including theology, psychology, feminism, sociology, and cultural studies–opening up multiple new avenues for scholars of religion to consider.

Sister Thorn and Catholic Mysticism in Modern America (UNC Press, 2013) is a detailed journey into the life of Margaret Reilly, an American Irish-Catholic from New York who entered the Convent of the Good Shepherd in 1921, taking the name Sister Crown of Thorns. During the 1920s and 1930s, Sister Thorn became known as a stigmatic who bled the wounds of Christ. In this microhistory of Thorn's story, Professor Paula Kane immerses readers in a world in transition, where interwar Catholics retained deep mystical devotionalism, yet also began to claim a confident new role as assimilated Americans. She does so through a very provocative question: “How did a stigmatic help ordinary Catholic understand themselves as modern Americans?” In the process, Professor Kane explores religious practice and mysticism through a number of theoretical literatures–including theology, psychology, feminism, sociology, and cultural studies–opening up multiple new avenues for scholars of religion to consider.
