Pope warns against fortune-tellers

In his morning Mass homily on 18 April Pope Francis said that those who listen to seers do not follow Jesus. The Pope said, ‘Jesus warned us that there will be others who will say the path of the Messiah is this or that. Jesus said, do not listen! Do not hear them. I am the way! Jesus is the gate and the way; if we follow him, we will not be mistaken. Some might say “Yes father, but things are difficult. So many times I don’t see clearly what to do. I was told that there was a seer and I went here or there; I went to a fortune-teller, who read the cards.” If you do this, you do not follow Jesus! You follow another who gives you another path, a different path.’
