The exercise of Yoga is designed to be a calming and relaxing way to achieve inner peace, but amid the soft lights and euphoric music, controversy.  

A statement was made by the Vatican’s chief exorcist calling yoga the work of the devil. 86-year-old Father Gabriele Amorth, who says he has cleansed hundreds of people from evil spirits, went on to say the stretching exercise is Satanic because it leads to Hinduism and a false belief in reincarnation. He compared the workout regimen to Harry Potter promoting black magic.

This is hilarious.

“One” Church “united” under God. I love how the Roman Catholic Church goes on about how unified it is and then stuff like this comes along. Some Catholics are for Yoga while others are against it. This does not sound unified to me.

What’s stupid is that they don’t realize it’s entirely possible to be a Christian Hindu.

and that’s weird the guy compared it to harry potter “black magic” because the church is totes okay with HP despite the magic. They think it promotes good values to teenagers.

eh. my mom loves yoga. she wants me to do it. lol no.

and the reason why it’s called a united church is because no matter where you go the services are done 99.7% the same way which is why you can go to a different parish each week and you’d be getting the same everything. except for like the sermon. that’ll vary a little. mmkay shutting up now
