A friend of mine who's a NO Catholic was strongly encouraging us to attend a Deliverance weekend.

The gist of it was sin or patterns of sin within generations attaches itself to families and continues to cause problems. By simply going to this, lots of problems get lifted and people are given grace to return to the faith.

I smiled and listened but it doesn't sit right.

Can anyone share their insights on this and what direction I should read up on? Thanks.

Don't even bother with that nonsense.  It's just another ploy to keep the NOrdites busy and occupied & make them feel that they're doing good & learning something new.  Remember, they're always on the lookout for something new & wonderful.   Don't clutter your mind with stuff like this.

What she said, definately Pentecostal, stay away and encourage them to go to Mass instead of deliverance.

I did a search for "deliverance weekend" and "catholic" and there really weren't very many search results.  But of the ones that did come up, most definitely showed this to be a Pentecostal-type service.

It seems a lot of fads come into the Conciliar church through the Pentecostals.  In the 1970s, the "Baptism in the Spirit" craze was all over the place.  In the 1990s I could hardly miss the advertisements for "healing Masses".  This "Deliverance Weekend" actually seems to be sort of a cross between the two.

The only thing I can say about this is that it is just another Protestant fad finding its way into Conciliarism.  There will be a lot more since Conciliarism can never be satisfied with tradition.

(When I first saw the topic title, my first thought was that it was some sort of Catholic river-rafting camp.  Surely they could have come up with a better name not connected with popular culture--but then, perhaps that was the intention.)
