From Catholic News Agency:
The Spanish Bishops’ Conference has published a doctrinal note criticizing the practice of so-called “intergenerational healing” or “healing of the family tree” promoted by some Catholic priests.
The doctrinal note was published in response to these practices “in some Spanish dioceses, especially in the area of prayers and retreats organized by new religious movements of a charismatic nature.” The doctrinal note identifies as originators of these practices Anglican missionary Kenneth McAll, Claretian religious John Hampsch, and Catholic priest Robert DeGrandis of the Society of St. Joseph [all deceased], “who has popularized the practice in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal due to his involvement in it.”
