"Reiki, an alternative Japanese therapy with a growing band of followers in the west, is "unscientific" and "inappropriate" for use in Catholic institutions, according to America's bishops."

...Catholics do not get to claim things are scientific or not. CATHOLICISM in itself is unscientific!

Also, aren't they a bit late with the whole 'reiki is bad!' thing, as reiki has been a thing in Western culture for quite some time.
