and I will say it , "it is a weeping, a moaning and a gnashing of teeth." And I pull out my rosary beads and I walk around saying my Catholic mantras, as everyone thinks I am a good little angel, while I am just raising the energy for my liking, and being.
And I tell them, "it is a weeping, a moaning and a gnashing teeth. Hail Mary, Hail Mary, the Virgin Mary. Ave Maria, holy Virgin Mary. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy spirit. By he who is three, eternal, equal and consubstantial in a word, glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen (Let it be so)." Well, I am into universalism, but I am no Roman Catholic.
It is the energy that I create when I say my mantras, not what I mean in heart, but what I mean in intent. I call it Catholicity-sissy-ness. It has a breadth, it has a depth and a it has a length, and it aims for a height.
I was baptized Russian Orthodox, but that doesn't make me that, but that's just saying I came out of that place. There is a difference between past and the present. I can't tell you the future, but it is what you make of it. I went from Russian Orthodox attendee to psi-vampirism trustee of my own spiritual vampiric state. I still have an affinity for the Russian Orthodox Church, as I find it fascinating in so many ways.
Grammatically, yes a Catholic can be a Wiccan. Can a psi-vampire be Russian Orthodox? Can a Russian Orthodox be a psi-vampire? Psi-vampire, Russian Orthodox. Russian Orthodox, psi-vampire. Vlad Tepes, I have never felt so at home.

sure, why not? seems one can claim to be anything they want these days. I"ve seen those claiming to be a half werewolf, half mermaid, or half demon and half vampire. So why not a baptist buddhist or an atheist anglican, even a wiccan catholic. Catholics have one set of beliefs, wiccans another. They, in some things,are very opposite and mutually exclusive beliefs. Do you belive in one God, a male diety, "our father who art in heaven", and believe that jesus was his son on earth? These are a crucial point to all christian beliefs, including catholicism. Do you believe in multiple gods? Do you believe in resurrection after death or reincarnation? The first is christian the latter pagan. In my humble opinion, if you claim to believe in all of it, then you truely believe in none of it.
Perhaps this might help clear your confusion.

In regards to the witchcraft aspect of this issue... I know practitioners from many religious paths. The question being asked here is "can a catholic be a wiccan", that is a matter of religion, it has nothing to do with casting. If the question was "can a catholic be a magic practitioner" I would have answered differently.
I agree with Lark on this. I am wiccan and im trying to be object towards this but its hard. Some of us wiccans are full on dedicated to wicca and to have someone who is confused or likes both religions and just combine them is....not smart. (only word i can think of thats nt offenseive.) Wiccans stirctly believe in Summerland and recarnation adn the Green man and Spirit. Catholics do not bellieve in any of those. SO thats how it is a contradiction. So maybe you just neeed to go on a retreat and find what you turely believe in.
I really appreciate you saying this and supporting it with details because I had the same question. You helped me understand how I can be both, Thank you
