Christianity/magic, dnt know. Options

hello. i want to make sure about one thing.
i dont know. i m not saying no/yes to this religion.
but id like to hear your thaughts about Christianity+magic.

The purpose of the ceremony of the Mass is in some ways the direct opposite of an act of Ceremonial Magick; God is believed to be already present; the ritual is used to open the hearts and minds of the participants in order that they may in some sense percieve His presence.

I truly do hate to sidetrack this thread, but I have to point out that not everyone would agree with this.

For some people, the whole point of Ceremonial Magick is to help them open theirselves up to the greater truths of the universe... making it EXACTLY like the ceremony of the Mass.

Yes, sometimes Ceremonial Magick is used to summon up a spirit which is limited in scope, but another way of saying this same thing (depending on your pov) would be to say that Ceremonial Magick is used to attune yourself to a specific focus of the divine energy which pervades the universe.

Anyway, sorry to ramble, we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
