We have recently uncovered a development to which we are compelled to alert you with utmost urgency. It is our belief that armies of Catholic nuns have been dispatched by the Vatican to infiltrate, mimic, subvert, and corrupt the sacred beliefs, rituals, and practices of your family of Earth Religions. Their goal: to arrest Neo-paganism in its present ascent in contemporary society and banish it – yet again – to the ill-regarded fringes of mainstream culture. There can be no other explanation, except perhaps that these Sisters are in the process of committing the heresy of Gnosticism ; but … no one thinks that. We submit the following as evidence.
In researching Mikhail "Nature is my god" Gorbachev's "Earth Charter" (Kudos on that by the by. Masterpiece of NeoPagan dogma this, eh?) we noted a considerable number of Catholic religious orders – particularly female orders - on the Earth Charter database of official endorsers. Do a search of the word "Sisters" in this database and you'll be scanning listings 'til next Samhain!
Initially this may seem to you a positive development, i.e. the more the merrier. However, even a cursory glance at Catholic teaching make it obvious that serious endorsement of this charter by vowed orders of The Church of Rome is non-sequitur, presuming these orders wish to actually remain vowed to said Church. For no Catholic Church we know, nor official ministry thereof, could genuinely endorse a declaration which aspires to become an "international legally binding instrument" while demanding population control, proclaiming earth – not God – "has provided the conditions essential to life's evolution", is paraded about in a 500 pound "Ark of Hope" along side "magical" Temenos books, and calls for the replacement of Christian Charity and the Works of Mercy with State enforced redistribution of wealth.
Something more must be afoot.
