We Grew Up Calling This ‘Catholic’… It’s Not
from Lilies Among Thorns · host Julianna Vivas
This isn’t CatholicThis video is a serious conversation about Mexican Catholic culture, cultural Catholicism, and the difference between authentic Catholic faith and practices rooted in superstition.Many Catholics grow up surrounded by devotion. Prayer, candles, saints, and deep love for Our Lady of Guadalupe. But at the same time, many are also exposed to beliefs like mal de ojo, limpias, tarot cards, zodiac signs, and other spiritual practices that are not part of Catholic teaching.So where is the line between faith and superstitionIn this video, I talk about Catholic teaching versus superstition, mal de ojo and evil eye beliefs, tarot cards, astrology and zodiac signs, limpias and folk spiritual practices, and devotion to saints like Saint Anthony of Padua.This is not about attacking Mexican culture. It is about understanding the truth, growing in faith, and recognizing what actually comes from God.If you are Catholic, grew up in Mexican culture, or are trying to understand your faith more deeply, this video is for you.What do you think Have you seen these practices in your own life or familyChapters0:00 - Intro0:33 - Vírgen De Guadalupe2:15 - Mexican Catholic culture and faith4:15 - Mal de Ojo7:07 - Faith vs superstition explained9:19 - Why this confusion matters11:50 - Outro#catholic #faith #virginmary
