As a young man I was one of many who did not know what he believed as a Catholic. And I was humiliated by being taught, of the head theories, and catechism contrary to what I later found out was meant to believe, after I became a Protestant.
Ideas like, how dare you want to prosper, and have millions? You should only have moderate wealth and work for it, five days a week.
You should wait for marriage, when you get married, you and your wife can do anything you want.
Most mental illness are rooted in the fall of Adam, things we inherit within. They are not caused by spirits.
When you die, God will build you a new material body in Heaven.
Unless you have done something really bad, when you die, you'll go to Heaven.
I can explain why these are not Catholic teachings now.
Pope Benedict, wrote a letter to the church, on love, but could not get all the officials, maybe the holy see, and all the trained apologists to agree. So he retired. Then came Pope Francis.
As a young man, my parish priest practiced prosperity with his parish assistant and owned a country house. He did not take vows of poverty and could explain his actions as an ordained PP. He would heal the sick with the Spirit's power and had more church attendance than many other priests. His confessional was very good. I was relieved from trembling with Jesus' blood there. He could explain why the prayers to Mary, were not worship... Sometimes his Bible based answers were short, and he prayed for me, and told me to read the Bible, several times.
He advised me not to place weight on the sayings of a nun nearby, and yes she was a bit odd. Mercy ministries, you can always melt people's hearts, by showing them mercy.
Some Catholic apologists teach prosperity is a sin for sure, but not all agree. From the Canon Lawyer Fr John Flader, "Prosperity is a good thing, it creates, products and services, and creates jobs." That is the simple, at first basis.
Can Catholics overcome controversy and be of one mind?
