He said yoga was sinful because of its Hindu roots and HP is satanic for promoting witchcraft. He also handed out anti-evolution material at RCIA and said that while the Church doesn’t forbid it, evolution “weakens faith” and is not real. This was a shock to me, because what drew me to the Catholic faith was in part its compatibility with evolution. The yoga and witchcraft stuff just strike me as something you’d hear in a Baptist church.

Is this fairly typical among conservative priests like ours? I was not expecting it at all. I am honestly considering driving half an hour to the next parish for confession from now on, but then maybe I’m overreacting.
