    OK.

    Have you ever read a book about the current crisis in the Church (or really just about anything on spiritual matters printed since 1962)?

    If you think the alleged suggestions concerning devotion to one's Guardian Angel of the late Fr. Faber are erroneous, harmful to souls, or heretical, speak up!

    It was honorary, from Brown University, which wasn't even a Catholic institute.

    It would have been much different had it been published after a bishop with the office of giving an imprimatur gave the approval. If not in the first edition, then a subsequent one.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! Father Faber is one of my favorite writers.  I didn't even know this book existed!

    Faber has some askew stuff now and then. Not major, but annoying enough to notice by their frequency. I think it tends to happen with converts from Protestantism.

    These 20 devotions should never be ALL implemented at once, and some of them should not even be practiced. This book was not imprimatured by a bishop. Best to ignore it.

    No Saint practiced all of these, only very few and not constantly. It's way overdone.

    I really don't think he is positing that ALL of them should be implemented together at once (where did you get that from :confused:).

    But, you seem concerned about some of them, when you stated,"...some of them should NOT even be practiced." 

    Which ones?

    If you think there is some danger then you owe it to everyone to speak up as to WHY you think it is dangerous. 
    You must be SPECIFIC. 
    You cannot just waffle and say, "It doesn't have an imprimatur."

    Imprimatur from whom?

    Not everyone here agrees who could even issue one.

    Not everyone is living time-locked in 1961.

    Did this work ever end up on the index?

    Give us something to work with, otherwise I really don't see what point you are driving at.

    Fair enough!  I just don't like to presume to write too much at first, so I wait for questions.

    In the 1800's the Church had a system for approval of Catholic publications. Bishops gave their approval. My mentioning no imprimatur shows that it is more likely to have problems, and that we are more free to suggest a problem. 

    In short, what he suggests is not traditional historically. I know of no other publication having it. If Faber had said to pick just one to do, I could tolerate it much more. But it is left open to do multiple and even all, which is even more concerning. It would make a Catholic an angel nut all day long.
