There are three writers whose works are much translated and published here. All three pose as catholics and their books are labled "spiritual".
They are:
Gibran Khalil Gibran: He said:" Was the love of Judas' mother for her son less that the love Mary had for Jesus?" He seems not to know that all the charity of Saints and angels and mortal men put together cannot equal the charity (love) Mary had for her Son.

Paolo Kuelio: Promotes magic and impurity. In one of his books he claims that our Lady is a symbol of female side of God, he compares Mother of God with pagan idols.
Christian Bobin: immoral.

Gibran has an other error too. he says that a humble prostitue is better than a proud nun. It is nonesense! A nun can be proud, but a prostitue can never be humble, because the root of all sins is pride. a truely humble person cannot be impure. So the nun has only pride, while the latter has both pride and impurity, and is therefore more sinful.
(I am not excluding the possibility of repentance. I am talking about what people are in their present situation, not what they will be if they repent)

Those books would not be promoted if they told the truth. That heresy claiming that Mary is the female form of God is also promoted by many in the USA and has led to some terrible things in churches, because "goddess worship" is always connected to the most vile practices of infanticide, and that heresy about Mary is a direct path to goddess-worship.

Do you know these authors? Are they famous in your country too?
Some people here recognized those errors, but there is alway an excuse like this:" Don't look at the surface. he is a mystical writer, what he says may be a metaphore with some deeper hidden meaning behind it."

Littlerose, do you agree it is heresy to say that the Blessed Virgin had carnal intercourse during her life on earth?

Gibran was popular when I was in college. In the USA his religion was not mentioned and as a Catholic, I certainly did not think he was Catholic. I thought he was Muslim or Zoroastrian or Sufi, something like that. Only non-catholics woulde mistake his writings as Catholic.

That other one you mention, promoting Mary as a kind of goddess figure, is unfortunately promoting something that is very popular in the US today. It is not blatant in the Catholic Church because we recognize the difference, but a lot of the ecuмenical people and the converts from Protestantism are following that heresy.

It horrifies me because I know from my own studies of various religions that all goddess religions involve infanticidal sacrifice. That is one of the struggles we can see in the Old Testament, and it is what our patriarchal Heavenly Father brought us out of.

Spouse, is it hard for people in your area to get original Catholic books that are not heretical?

Fortunately they have catholic publishings which are allowed to work. But they publish limited books (as their number is few) and these book are distributed in the churches.
Public bookstores too may have books about Catholicism and any other religion, provided they contain no insult to islam or it's laws.

I know that Gibran Khalil Gibran is a popular author in Lebanon, especially his book "The Prophet". My father has a copy of that book in our library. I never read it though. When I saw the book in the library, I had a strong sense that it was not Catholic - weird, since I never knew who Gibran was and never read any of his books.
