Amy —
That is magic, pure and simple, and
forbidden by the First Commandment.
You may have an angel statue or figurine
as a reminder of angels. You may
have one blessed by a priest or deacon
so that it carries the prayer of
the Church and becomes a sacramental.
The dolls you refer to are useless.
- First, angels do not bless - they
bring God's blessing.
- Second, only a cleric can impart
the blessing of God on an object,
and that blessing simply makes
the object holy, consecrated to
God; it does not give powers.
Any ritual performed on an angel
doll does not impart any power to
the doll. These figurines are essentially
being used as reverse voodoo dolls,
a way to manipulate and control God's
actions through occult words and
gestures. That is the definition
of magic.
When this type of thing is performed,
it is generally the evil spirit who
sees the opportunity to work on the
person who puts his trust in the
object. If one cooperates in this
endeavor, one is committing superstition,
and one is opening oneself to evil
spirits, who are the source of any
such magic powers.
