I'm not even remotely sure if the Catholic Church has anything to say regarding LOA, but if LOA is all about energy and thought waves, what has it got to do with religion?
I pray to God almost daily and I ask for His blessings.
I also used LOA whenever and wherever to test it's effectiveness as well. Maybe, eventually when I do get what I want, I may not know who to credit for, but so long as it works, that's all that matters!
Maybe I'm simple, but I guess it's a much easier way out and if it achieves results, then I'd gladly remain simple with my faith and beliefs  |
I don't want to become preachy. I asked the original question, because I wanted to make sure I didn't subscribe to some New Age ideal that goes against the Church. LoA sounds...convenient. All I have to do is wish think hard enough about something and it comes true. I had hoped to short-cut my research by finding others that held the same faith and compared the teachings of LoA to the Church.
I do have one question though. What is your intent for getting baptized? If it is because you believe in the teachings of the Church, then you too ought to look into their view on this. LoA as it is intended falls dangerously close to gnosticism, which is a heretical view in the Church.
