The wiccan stuff is more dangerous, if you will, than they know. But sometimes I think that a few of them do indeed know what they are dealing with and openly embrace it, just keep that to themselves. Remember when Notre Dame hired some wiccan 'priestess' to be on staff and teach. I think she was actually a nun (in name only) and she may still be there, leading others astray.
We greet you, Great Spirit of the Earth. It was from you we came as from a Mother; you nourish us still and give us shelter.
Could this be any more pagan? Not thanking God for the earth, for it's shelter, but actually thanking the earth who is our mother. It's strange to see the older nuns take this up. The same nuns in full habit when I was a kid have now gone, many of them, wiccan and new age. Very sad.
Too many women were let into convents in the fifties and sixties as a career choice, rather than a spiritual choice, and that caused some of the problem...
But a lot of this starts in increments.
What's even more bothersome to me is this: You don't automatically find it on their website. But if you go and look for stuff like the diocesean rules for sex abuse or help for the abused, this prayer is in the sidebar. So people who are checking out CCD related stuff can get exposed to this garbage.
So if you have been injured by unfaithful priests or others, and are looking for help, or you want to check out to make sure the policies are good to protect your children, or you're wondering something along those lines, you get exposed to this crap.
Dear Lord, what a wicked thrust of the devil. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle!
