Occult Subversion of Traditional Catholicism

Within churches, a groundswell of folks interested in the liturgy -- but. for. the. wrong. reasons.   

Tradcats need to be aware that not everyone who is interested in tradition or the Mass of the Ages does so out of love for Jesus. 

I am not saying that the people mentioned in this article are occultists (I do not think the author is saying this either?)    I am saying that there are alarming trends and that it is important to be discerning, yes, even with traditionalism.

So does this mean Catholics who have ever read books, comics, watched movies with 'magic' in them have committed a sin?

What does magic mean here? Again i have not read the full article or any others.

"Magic" as an illusion is a form entertainment. Not a sin per se.

As far as I know, real magic is the practice of occult rituals, and it usually conjures demons and ask for their help, be it for a good or evil purpose. This is always a sin.
