Catholic Wiccan -- NOT!

"No, you can't be both."  One of the candidates in RCIA asked me if he could be a Catholic Wiccan.  The answer is "absolutely not!"  You can't even compare the two.  I think I'll make him a chart.

                      Wiccan                                                                                     Catholic
founded by Gerald Gardiner in the twentieth century-/-founded by Jesus Christ 2015 years ago
Human invention-/-                                                         divine revelation
worship creation and acknowledge a creator-/-  worship the Creator & are amazed by His creation
perhaps a revival of a Druid religion-/-       Jesus is a real historical figure
attracted to a belief system-/-                      in love with Jesus Christ
choose their beliefs -/-                             positive in their faith
free to change their beliefs to suit their lives -/- Catholics change their lives to suit their beliefs
to be Wiccan is the object of attention -/-  Catholics make God the center of attention
lives life on their own terms -/-           live by God's terms (commandments)
promises control over their environment -/-  God is in control
believe in magic*   -/-                                   believe in prayer*

*  Magic and prayer may seem alike, but Viva la difference!  The difference is that we ask God to hear our prayers. We pray for God's will in our lives and trust Him to bring good out of evil.  A wiccan prays for power to bring about his own will.

Well!  I think this chart will bring about a good discussion.
