"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
So, I’ve been ill in bed all day. To take my mind off the glorious weather outside, I’ve been working on my commentary of the Epistle of Jude. I’ve recently been reviewing it at Bible Study and thought that it’d be a good time to tidy up my initial notes:
I remember watching an episode of the TV show “QI” several years ago where the host, Stephen Fry, in a flabbergasted fashion explained to the panelists and audience that the Catholic Church denounces superstition. From his atheistic viewpoint he couldn’t see any different between spirituality and superstition.
A couple of days ago there was a great article by Michelle Arnold on this topic of superstition which I think is well worth a read:
As Catholics we have a rich faith with a wealth of devotions, but these can all-too-easily devolve into mechanistic superstition where we treat God and the Saints as our personal genie.
What do you think we can do to stop this happening?
