What is the danger in using the enneagram?

Answer

The pontifical document Jesus Christ, The Bearer of the Water of Life: A Christian reflection on the "New Age" cautions us that the enneagram, "when used as a means of spiritual growth introduces an ambiguity in the doctrine and the life of the Christian faith" (1.4).
Jim Blackburn

“Thank you for your great witness and ministry to Christ and His Church. I have enjoyed listening to Catholic Answers Live and your apologists for a number of years now. It has been very formative and inspirational in my journey towards becoming a well versed and devoted servant of Christ and His people on earth via His Church.”

~ Andrew, Canada
