Catholics do not fear. In fact they, regardless of misconceptions, regard tge bible and Jesus’ words, ‘fear not’
But they are not stupid They know they must follow the will of God who will present them with necessary info, if they pray for it
Staying away from practices which alter spirituality is required, just like not reading bad literature, viewing bad movies. It’s like drinking too much or imbibing in drugs which do nothing good
And who is to decide what alters spirituality? Who is to make perfect judgment on what is ‘bad’? I go to church every Sunday, and I see families come to Mass in clothing we would’ve considered ‘bad’ when I was a child. St. Joan of Arc, the patron saint of my parish was considered bad for wearing men’s clothing while she was fighting and proclaiming the word of God.
My friend, you are no more Catholic than I. One thing I recognize from studying history and experiencing life is that we humans make an awful lot of mistakes when we presume to know the will of God. Jesus Christ made it very simple - we are first called to love. With love, fear always loses. To say that practicing yoga may separate us from the Holy Trinity and God’s love, is utter nonsense.
