Bishops say Reiki is a no no- watch the fun !
Does not surprise me, but rather amuses me. Wonder how my husband, the ordained Roman Catholic Deacon , is going to react to this. If you are a Deacon it is your oathbound duty to follow the dictates of the Bishop and the Magesterium. ( Brat in me is giggling here- we have fun debating these technicalities)

Quote- "For a Catholic to believe in Reiki therapy presents insoluble problems."
AND
"Since Reiki therapy is not compatible with either Christian teaching or scientific
evidence, it would be inappropriate for Catholic institutions, such as Catholic health care
facilities and retreat centers, or persons representing the Church, such as Catholic chaplains, to
promote or to provide support for Reiki therapy."
The brat in me is going to be very interested to see just how this plays out in our own home.Interested and highly amused to say the least
