Our ministry’s protests [I’m sure there were others’ too, see below] against the holding of Yoga classes at Chicago’s Holy Name Cathedral [pages 1-4]
appears to have had an effect

Greetings in Christ,
My name is Fr. Thomas Aschenbrener and I would like to inform you that “Catholic yoga” is no longer a practice here at Holy Name Cathedral.

I am overseeing a particular committee who instituted this practice two years ago and I have done everything in my power to rid this practice from the Cathedral. It is now over. Praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayers. Please spread the word.
In Christ, Fr. Thomas Aschenbrener, Parochial Vicar, Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago, IL

That’s great to hear, but how did it get started in the first place, and how did it remain active for 2 years? I see that the Catholic yoga group is still listed on the Cathedral website http://www.holynamecathedral.org/index.php?page=catholic-yoga.

It should not have been that hard to get rid of, but I’m thankful to see that you’re cleaning the Lords House. 
No wonder Jesus used whips to drive them out, it was quicker. Keep up the good work. God be praised! Theresa Brune

Dear Father Thomas,

I am delighted to receive this news from you. Heart congratulations, and may Our Lord and His Mother bless you in ever greater abundance with the virtues needed by you to combat these errors (evils) in the Church.

I am edified by the two responses that you received from Jeffrey and Theresa. I trust there will be more.

What I am yet to figure out is how I got on your mailing list. I am a crusader against New Age since over a decade and have written a number of articles on yoga and on Catholic organisations promoting yoga, eastern meditations, mantra chanting etc. in India. Because of the priest shortage in the West, these evils are being exported wholesale by Indian priests.

I am blessed in that speakers on EWTN, Catholic Answers Live Radio, Revival Radio etc., cite my work and give out my website and email addresses.

Please let me know how I got on your mailing list.

You are in my prayers, Father. Kindly let your parishioners know about my web site. By this month end, I would be uploading a further seventy already-completed articles and reports to which I am putting finishing touches.

Please remember me at the Eucharist. You remain in my prayers.

Dear Michael,
You probably got on because, like myself I was informed through one of the Catholic sites about the problem at the Cathedral and I sent Fr. an e mail asking him for help  to stop this practice. Our names or e mails were probably saved that’s why we were informed. God Bless you for the very important work you are doing for God’s Kingdom and the Church,
Theresa Brune

Good Day everyone. What else could we do to put pressure on removing falsehoods from the modernist catholic church? The French bishops like circus masses – how about them next or some other church that has priests who encourage false religions to do their thing with them Assisi-style? Maybe more will join us. How about it? In Christo Domino et Maria, Hugh

Dear Hugh,

I appreciate your love and concern for our Church. You ask, “What else could we do…?” We could pray for her and for those who are ignorant and misguided and deceived. I have been called to research, write and expose the “fruitless works of darkness”. Fr. Thomas took action.

I have written a detailed report on the liturgical abuses at the type of Masses that you speak about. It will be available on the net by month’s end. Some of my reports go to the dicasteries of the Holy See in Rome. It was in this way that I got the Indian Church to withdraw a heretical Assisi-type “New Community Bible” that was published in June 2008.

The Roman Church in itself is not modernist. There are clergymen and groups in it who are. In the spirit of Pope Pius X, we must oppose them.

Pope Benedict XVI has assured the Church that the “Spirit of Assisi” will not be repeated when he goes there next, later this year.

Thank you for writing. God bless and have a good day. Michael
