Pope:Tarot Cards, Palm Readings Are Idolatry; Says Families Are Destroyed to Increase Profit

Pope Francis -- speaking at his weekly audience yesterday -- said tarot cards and palm readings are idolatrous, the Christian Today website reports.

He pointed to the Greek origin of the word "idol," which means "to see." Idol worship, he said, was "a vision which becomes a fixation, an obsession."

The pope continued: "In ancient times human sacrifices were made to idols, but even today people sacrifice their children for their careers, neglecting them or simply refusing to have them."

He added that "lives are ruined; families are destroyed; and young people are abandoned to destructive habits, all to increase profit."
