Good Day to you Father!!!

I am a member of our Holy Catholic
Church and I just want to ask regarding about the problem of my friend -
a lay minister.He was asking about the official stand of our church
pertaining to quack doctors' practice. He told me that he has an amulet
inherited from his grandfather to be used for healing sick persons but
he said that he was not practicing diwata -diwata. He did not even ask
any money for his service.

What can you tell about this father?


Thanks and more power.

GOOD DAY TO YOU TOO.

[I am a

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'QUACK DOCTOR'?

IS
HE AN ALBULARYO WHO SIMPLY USES HIS TALENTS THROUGH HILOT AND NATURAL
HERBS TO EFFECT HEALING TO THE SICK? IS HE AN UNEDUCATED MAN WHO
PRACTICES THE ART OF HEALING USING NATURAL ELEMENTS? IS HE A MAN WHO
HEALS OTHERS BY CALLING ON 'spirits' or 'engkanto' or 'dwende' or
'diwatas' FOR POWER TO EFFECT HEALING?

IF HE IS SIMPLY DOING
HILOT AND USING NATURAL HERBS OR ELEMENTS FOR HEALING THEN IT IS A
NATURAL TALENT. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. BUT IF HE IS CALLING
ON 'spirits' THEN THAT IS EVIL. BECAUSE THE ELEMENTAL SPIRITS OF THESE
WORLD ARE MALIGNANT SPIRITS. IT IS EVIL AND IT IS AGAINST THE FAITH OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. IT IS CALLED DIVININATIONS. THAT IS CONTRARY TO THE
FAITH AS EXPLAINED IN CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH #2116.

[ He told me that he has an amulet inherited from his grandfather to be used for healing sick persons]

AMULETS?
AMULETS OR ANTING-ANTING IS CONTRARY TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH. WE DO NOT
BELIEVE IN AMULETS. THE AMULETS HAVE NO GENUINE POWERS. IF THEY ARE USED
BY DEMONIC POWERS THEY APPEAR TO BE POWERFUL BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE
NOT. THE SO-CALLED POWER OF AMULETS COMES FROM THE DEVIL AND HIS LEGIONS
WHO APPEARED IN DIFFERENT FORMS: DUWENTE, KAPRE, TIKBALANG, ETC.

[ but he said that he was not practicing diwata -diwata.]

DIWA-DIWATA IS OF COURSE EVIL. IT IS SUMMONING THE ELEMENTAL SPIRITS TO EFFECT HEALING. THAT IS DIVINATION.

[ He did not even ask any money for his service.]

IF HE IS HEALING DEPENDING ON AMULETS IT IS EVIL. BECAUSE TRUE HEALING COMES FROM GOD NOT FROM AMULETS.

IT
DOESN'T MATTER IF HE ASKS MONY OR NOT. EVEN IF HE DIDN'T ASK FOR MONEY
THERE IS SPIRITUAL DANGER IN GOING TO A QUACK DOCTOR USING AMULETS. IT
TURNS OUR MIND AND HEART FROM GOD AND DIRECT THEM TO THE AMULETS WHICH
IS EVIL AND VERY DANGEROUS.

[What can you tell about this father?]

THAT IS WHAT I CAN SAY.

[Thanks and more power.]

WELCOME. I DON'T NEED MORE POWER... I NEED MORE BLESSINGS FROM GOD.
