Papal Notes - Francis heads spiritually "East" in May...

....because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Isaiah 2:6

 "The Vatican's forthcoming conference on global health will host a celebrity lineup of highly controversial speakers who promote abortion, pansexuality, Hindu Vedic meditation, New Age spirituality, alternative medicine and yoga, alongside credible medical experts.

The presenters include health and happiness guru Deepak Chopra, Buddhist evangelist Thupten Jinpa, Sufi spiritualist Asim Yusuf, Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry, Mormon Elder William K. Jackson, self-declared atheist psychologist Paul Bloom and pro-abortionist Chelsea Clinton.
 
Also featured is patron of Population Matters Dame Jane Goodall, who believes that "population growth underlies just about every single one of the problems we've inflicted on the planet" and "if there were just a few of us, then the nasty things we do wouldn't really matter and Mother Nature would take care of it."

"Participants will explore the role of religion, faith and spirituality, and the interplay of mind, body and soul and look for areas of convergence between the humanities and the natural sciences," chief conference organizer Pontifical Council for Culture said.

Titled "Exploring the Mind, Body and Soul: Unite to Prevent and Unite to Cure," the forum will be held online from May 6–8 and "will bring together the world's leading physicians, scientists, leaders of faith, ethicists, patient advocates, policymakers,

philanthropists and influencers," the Holy See Press Office announced Thursday.

The term "Mind, Body and Soul" (or "Mind, Body and Spirit") is a standard designation for New Age spirituality and is used by major books bookstores to categorize sections separate from "Christianity." The "Mind, Body and Soul" and "New Age" nomenclatures are also used by Amazon to classify books by a number of the Vatican conference speakers.
 
The Vatican press office confirmed Pope Francis will climax the conference with a video message to the participants." CM
