.- Bishop
Pedro Pablo Elizondo Cardenas of Cancun-Chetumal, Mexico, warned
Mexicans this week against believing in superstition, which, he said,
the world proposes as an answer to personal problems. He said that the
only answer to trials and tribulations is in attentiveness to the word
of God.
The bishop
lamented the loss of faith and the spread of pagan rites and
superstition, such as fortune telling and tarot cards, which are
rejected by God.
He warned
parents not to let their children to become involved in witchcraft,
sorcery, magic, astrology or séances, “because all these things are an
abomination to your God.” Such practices, he said, were common
among pagans, “but we know that Christ is the only one who came to
bring to the truth.”
Belief in God and superstition incompatible, says Mexican bishop
