Concerns Regarding Practices in Melanie Dupuis similar to Necromancy and “New Era” spirituality

Concerns Regarding Practices in Melanie Dupuis similar to Necromancy and “New Era” spirituality

November 19,  2025.

Many of you know that Mélanie frequently communicates with souls in Purgatory or Heaven, obtaining details about their locations and needs to ascend to Heaven – sometimes through a saint as intermediary. I have also mentioned a couple of issues related to donations that seem suspect, such as the request for Xavier Ayral to finance a trip to the Vatican. Additionally, I must report that the team has been seeking funding for her activities from the business community. This seems odd, as financing typically comes through divine providence, not active solicitation from the team – as far as I know. The third issue is that I have noticed Mélanie often tells people what they want to hear, reinforcing their personal will rather than God's. Last but not least,  I have observed other  possible, very dangerous, deviations from catholicism: concepts of the New Era or New Age spiritual movement, like going easy through love and peace.  She has even produced “evidence” of supernaturality, to call for confidence in her mission: illumination  of rooms and miracles. I investigated these matters with some depth. They may not apply to Mélanie, but it is valuable to recall Church teaching, given the doubts raised so far – always in charity, but sincerely, without misleading anyone. Especially given the fruits of division and lies.  

A summary of my findings,  with strong arguments and evidence,  related to the serious concerns regarding Melanie and her mission:  

  1. Talking to souls in Purgatory / Heaven with precise details (years in Purgatory, exact number of Masses needed, immediate responses in prayer groups, etc.) → violates CCC 2116 (necromancy/divination) and CCC 1022 (only God judges the state of souls).
  2. Messages claiming biblical names of God (Yahweh, Elohim, Sabaoth) are demons (alleged message from Padre Pio, 11 March 2024) → objective blasphemy and heresy (CCC 2148, 2089).
  3. Declaring that 25 % of Fr. Michel Rodrigue’s messages are not from Heaven and that Luz de María’s messages caused ~100 suicides → rash judgment, calumny, and division.
  4. Bypassing the local bishop (e.g., seeking imprimatur directly in Rome) → explicit disobedience (CDF Norms 1978, Art. 3; Canon 823).
  5. Financial requests without transparency (personal donations, business community funding, Xavier Ayral trip) → red flag under DDF Norms 2024 (Art. 15, 4°).
  6. Telling people what they want to hear (personal desires fulfilled, no strong call to repentance or the Cross) → classic New Age pattern condemned by John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and the 2003 Vatican document Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life.
  7. “One and only Refuge” language and coup d’état in the prayer groups I coordinated → fosters exclusivity, rivalry, and division.
  8. Overall fruits: division, fear, disobedience, doctrinal errors → do not correspond to the Holy Spirit (Mt 7:15-20).

These elements raise strong concerns about whether the mission is from God. They are highly suspect under Catholic doctrine and mirror forbidden occult practices. A core issue remains necromancy-like consultation of the dead (even via a "saint" intermediary) and potential financial exploitation, which the Church condemns as grave sins. Let us break it down step by step with official teaching. That is why I close my comments on Melanie with this last document, about possible service to the devil, instead of God.

I. Talking to People in Purgatory (Specifying Years)

  • CCC 1031: "All who die in God's grace... are related to us in the one communion of saints." But CCC 2116: "All forms of divination are to be rejected... Consulting the dead or spirits is forbidden."
  • This is necromancy – forbidden as idolatry (Dt 18:10-12). No saint claims to "chat" with specific souls for details like "years in Purgatory" – it is God's secret (CCC 1022).

Immediate Responses in Prayer Groups About Souls

  • Mt 7:1: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged." CCC 1861: "Only God can judge [mortal sin]... as a radical possibility of human freedom."
  • Publicly declaring souls' states (Purgatory/Heaven) is rash judgment (CCC 2477) and usurps God's role. True mystics (e.g., St. Faustina) intercede silently, not "channel" on demand.
  • Predicting Heaven After a Specific Number of Masses
  • CCC 1032: "The Church... recommends... suffrage for the holy souls in Purgatory." But no one can quantify "X Masses = release" – that presumes divine judgment.
  • This turns prayer into a "transaction," risking superstition (CCC 2111). The Church says Masses help, but efficacy is God's alone (no guarantees or timelines).
  • "A Saint Tells Her" About Souls – Still Necromancy and Rash Judgment
  • Claiming a saint relays info from Purgatory/Heaven about specific souls' locations or timelines doesn't make it legitimate – it still usurps God's sole right to judge (CCC 1861) and is forbidden divination (CCC 2116). Saints intercede with mercy, not as "messengers" for detailed afterlife intel on demand. This is a common demonic trick: imitating holy figures to gain credibility (St. John of the Cross, Ascent of Mount Carmel, Bk II, Ch. 24: "The devil can counterfeit lights and voices of saints to deceive").
  • CCC 2116 (Forbidden Practices): "All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to 'unveil' the future... They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone."
  • CCC 1022 (Particular Judgment): "Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death: a particular judgment... Only God knows/judges this – no visionary or 'saint relay' can declare it publicly."
  • CDF Norms (1978, Art. 2 § d): Negative criterion if messages involve "doctrinal errors" like presuming divine knowledge of souls.

II. Asking for Donations "for the Mission" – Suspect if Not Transparent

As previously discussed, donations for legitimate apostolic works are allowed only under strict Church oversight, with no personal gain. If vague or tied to "messages," it risks simony (CCC 2125).

  • New DDF Norms (2024, Art. 15, 4°): "Exploitation of the phenomenon or the persons associated with it for particular and undue financial gain" is a critical negative criterion leading to prohibition.
  • Mediums often solicit donations for "readings" or "messages from the dead" – this is the same if not Church-supervised. Approved visionaries (e.g., Fatima) never personally fundraised; support came from voluntary, audited donations for shrines.
  • Conclusion: If donations are for genuine works with Bishop oversight and full accounting, it's OK. But if vague, personal, or tied to "messages," it's suspect and risks simony – no change to the overall red flags. This is suspect of not being Catholic mysticism; it's close to occult manipulation (CCC 2116). Fruits: Division, fear, and doubt in Church authority – demonic hallmarks (Mt 7:16).

III. A Last Point: Following the Will of God vs. the Will of the Person Interacting with Mélanie

This concern ties directly into the discernment issues we've discussed. A visionary who "tells people what they want to hear" – reinforcing their personal desires (e.g., a woman's wish for her husband's "conversion" or better behavior) over God's will – is not OK and raises major red flags. It's not just suspect; it closely parallels occult practices like fortune-telling or mediumship, which the Church explicitly forbids as grave sins.

True private revelations always point to God's will, not human whims, and prioritize conversion of the heart over "quick fixes." Why This Is a Red Flag: Catholic doctrine emphasizes that revelations are for edifying the faith and aligning with God's plan (CCC 67), not fulfilling personal agendas. When a visionary acts like a "cosmic genie" (confirming desires on demand), it shifts from mysticism to manipulation or deception.

  • CCC 67 (Private Revelations): "Throughout the ages, there have been so-called 'private' revelations... It is not their role to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history."

◦ Implication: Revelations must lead to obedience to God's will (e.g., "Thy will be done," Mt 6:10), not rubber-stamping human wants. Reinforcing "my husband must change for me" ignores free will and focuses on control, not charity.

  • CCC 2115-2116 (Divination and Superstition): "God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints... All forms of divination are to be rejected... These practices contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone."

◦ Red Flag Connection: Telling someone "your husband will convert/behave better" sounds like divination (predicting/changing lives to suit desires), not prophecy. It's necromancy-adjacent if tied to "souls" or saints "relaying" info – echoing mediums who "channel" outcomes for clients.

  • Mt 7:15-20 (By Their Fruits): "By their fruits you will know them."

◦ Fruits here: If messages make people feel "special" or validated in selfishness (e.g., "God wants your husband to change for you"), it fosters pride/control, not humility/surrender to God. True visions (e.g., Fatima) call for penance and prayer, not personalized "wins."

IV. Dangers of New Era - New Age movement. 

What I have described might also be an extremely serious and one of the most effective strategies the devil has used in the last 60 years to infiltrate and dissolve Catholicism from within: the New Age / "New Era" spirituality. Some of the things observed are almost identical (with a “catholic veil and terminology”) to the classic profile of New Age infiltration: "Going easy on life" – no cross, no mortification, no narrow path (Mt 7:13-14).  "Enjoy the good things of the spirit" – but a spirit that is pleasant, luminous, consoling, never demanding, never judging sin. 

Giving people exactly what they want to hear – "personal revelation" tailored to each one's desires (husband will convert, deceased is in heaven, you are specially chosen, etc.).  Spiritual authority without obedience – the "visionary" or "channeler" becomes the new oracle, above priests, bishops, and even doctrine. This would not be  authentic Catholic mysticism.

It is the same spirit that produced the explosion of New Age "channeling" in the 70–90s.  Expressions of those are: A Course in Miracles, Ramtha, Seth, Christian Reiki, Christian Zen, Spiritual Coaching, Ancestral Healing, Automatic Writing (Inner calling,  Jesus  calling,  conversations with God), Inner Healing, Angel Channeling  (Angel Therapy). All condemned by the church.  Today that movement has entered many Catholic prayer groups under the mask of "private revelation". 

Official Church Condemnation of New Age Infiltration: 

1.  John Paul II – Closing of the Holy Door, January 6, 2001 (most direct papal warning):  We must be on guard against the spirit of the New Age, which tries to reconcile Christ with forms of esotericism, pantheism and a false conception of the Holy Spirit. There is no compatibility between Christianity and the New Age. 

2.  Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life (Pontifical Council for Culture & Interreligious Dialogue, 2003 – official Vatican document): 

“New Age is a counterfeit spirituality… It offers a 'spirituality without God', a 'self-centered spirituality… The most dangerous aspect is that it presents itself as a 'new revelation' and uses Christian terminology (angels, saints, messages from heaven) to make itself acceptable to Catholics… It gives people what they want to hear, not what they need to hear for salvation.”

3. Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) – 1989 (when he was Prefect of the CDF):

“One of the most worrying signs of our time is the spread of New Age under Catholic forms… The devil does not need to appear with horns; he prefers to appear as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14).”

Possible parallels with Mélanie's Practices (New Age - Melanie - Church condemnation): 

  1. NA: "Spirituality of consolation" – always pleasant messages. Melanie: "Peace, joy, serenity" – never strong calls to repentance or cross. Church: Benedict XVI: "The devil appears as angel of light"
  2. NA: "Personal oracle" – tailored messages.  Melanie: "Your husband will convert", "Your deceased is in heaven", "You are specially chosen". Church: Vatican 2003 document: "Gives people what they want to hear"
  3. NA: Spiritual authority without obedience. Melanie: Bypasses bishop, spiritual director. Church norms: CDF Norms 1978/2024: "Obedience to bishop is essential"
  4. NA: Financial support for "mission" without transparency. Mélanie: Requests for donations, business community. Church: DDF 2024: "Undue financial gain" = negative criterion
  5. NA: Communication with the dead / "saints relay".  Mélanie: Details about souls in Purgatory, years, Masses needed. Church: CCC 2116: "Consulting the dead is forbidden" – necromancy

The Devil’s Strategy and the New Age Infiltration Pattern

St. Ignatius of Loyola (Spiritual Exercises, Rule 13 for Discernment of Spirits) describes it perfectly:  “The enemy acts like a false lover who wants to remain hidden… He fills the soul with sweetness and spiritual delight… so that she does not reveal everything to her confessor.”

When the devil wants to destroy a soul with great potential, he never attacks head-on. He begins with false consolation – lights, peace, joy, beautiful words – to create attachment and pride, then slowly detaches the person from truth, humility, and obedience.This is precisely the pattern we see repeating itself: 

  1. Start with something that looks completely Catholic (Mary, Jesus, saints, angels).  
  2. Offer abundant consolation, sweetness, and personal attention (“you are specially chosen”).  
  3. Gradually detach from Church authority (no need for bishop, spiritual director, or confession).  
  4. Replace the Cross with “love and light” (no mention of sin, repentance, or sacrifice).  
  5. Create dependency on the visionary as the new source of guidance and revelation.

This is not a minor deviation. It is the classic New Age infiltration under Catholic forms that St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and the 2003 Vatican document Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life repeatedly warned about. The devil’s goal in  this theory would not to make Mélanie (or anyone) an atheist; it is far more subtle: to build a parallel spirituality that looks Catholic, feels good, and gives consolation, but empties the Cross of its power (1 Cor 1:17) and replaces obedience to the Church with obedience to the visionary. That is why the Church is so strict on private revelations: because this is how the devil has destroyed more souls in the last fifty years than outright Satanism ever could.You are not witnessing an isolated case. We are seeing one of the most successful strategies the enemy has used in our time.

Conclusion:  Possible Parallel to Necromancy/Mediumship and New Age

Dear brothers and sisters, what we are witnessing might not be authentic Catholic mysticism.

• We have exposed the the devil’s most successful contemporary and successful strategy: a spirituality that looks Catholic, sounds sweet, feels comforting, but empties the Cross of its power (1 Cor 1:17) and replaces obedience to the Church with obedience to the visionary.The enemy does not need to appear with horns. • He prefers to appear as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14), using Marian language, promises of peace, and “private messages” to lead souls away from the true Church.This is precisely the New Age infiltration under Catholic forms that the popes have warned about for decades.

  • It is not an extremely dangerous counterfeit that has already claimed millions of souls.Therefore, with charity but with complete clarity: this mission, in its current form, most possibly is not  from God.
  • The fruits we see – division, disobedience, fear, manipulation, and doctrinal deviation – are not the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
  • I urge all of you: return fully to the Church, to your parish priests, to approved devotions, and more credible prophets like Fr.  Michel and Luz de Maria,  and to the sacraments.
  • Do not fear losing “special messages” – the only main Message we need is already given: the Gospel, the Magisterium, and the Eucharist. And the Private revelations we trust, which are faithfully catholic, provide additional interpretation for these times. 
  • May Our Lady, true Star of the Sea, guide us safely through these confused times back to Her Son. Let us ask her to help us to continue to discern all of this. Amen.

On the issue of real Miracles observed in the mission of the Two Most Holy Hearts, led by Melanie. 

We have to be cautious, since it turns out that the devil can perform real miracles (extraordinary signs that are objectively above nature -preternatural ) in order to deceive and capture souls.This is explicit Catholic doctrine, taught by Scripture, the Fathers, Doctors, and the Magisterium.

1. Scripture:

2Thessalonians 2:9-10 (St. Paul on the Antichrist):

“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception…”

Revelation 13:13-14 (the second beast):

“He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs…”

Matthew 24:24 (Jesus Himself):

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

2.  Doctors of the Church

St. Thomas Aquinas – Summa Theologiae I, q. 114, a. 4  

“Demons can work true miracles… that is, things that exceed the power of nature, not indeed to enlighten minds (which belongs to God alone), but to deceive the senses and lead men into error.”

St. John of the Cross – Ascent of Mount Carmel, Bk II, ch. 21  

“The devil has great power to work true supernatural prodigies… healings, visions, locutions, and other wonders, in order to attract souls and then destroy them.”

St. Teresa of Ávila – Interior Castle, Sixth Mansion, ch. 9  

“The devil can work very great miracles… I have seen him do things that seemed impossible to nature… He does them to make us believe they come from God, and then he leads us into pride and error.”

3.  Magisterium

Fourth Lateran Council (1215) – condemned the Albigensians who denied demons could work miracles.  

Catechism of the Council of Trent (1566):

“The devil can perform true miracles, not indeed by his own power, but by the power of God whom he invokes as a liar and deceiver.”

Rituale Romanum (1614, still in force):

“The evil spirit can cure diseases, raise the dead, and perform other prodigies… to deceive the faithful.”

4. The Classic “Bait-and-Capture” Strategy

This is exactly how the saints describe the devil’s method: 

  • Give real miracles (healings, money, prophecies that come true, luminous phenomena, etc.).  
  • Gain trust and attachment.  
  • Gradually detach from obedience, doctrine, and humility.  
  • Lead into pride, division, or doctrinal error – the soul is captured.

St. Ignatius (Spiritual Exercises, Rule 13) calls it “false consolation” that ends in desolation. 

Application to Mélanie (or any visionary) 

If someone: Produces genuine wonders (money recovered, healings, accurate predictions),   But the fruits are division, disobedience to the bishop, rash judgment of other messengers, doctrinal errors, or demands for exclusive allegiance, …then the miracle is real, but the source is demonic.

The devil is perfectly willing to give a temporary benefit to obtain eternal ruin.

My Conclusion:

Even if some miracles have occurred through Mélanie’s prayers, the devil can and does perform true miracles in order to deceive (2 Thess 2:9; St. Thomas, St. Teresa, St. John of the Cross).

The only safe criterion is the fruits (Mt 7:15-20) and full obedience to the Church. When those fruits are division, disobedience, and doctrinal deviation, the origin of the wonders is irrelevant – the mission cannot be trusted.

We have to  be 100 % on solid Catholic ground. And have to keep speaking the truth in charity in this case,  because the devil is very mischievous, and wants to take our souls to  hell.  

Les ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit on this, for discernment. May Our Lady of Guadalupe, true Star of the Sea and Crusher of heresies, guide us safely back to Her Son.


In Christ and Mary,
