Concerning the Kurgan's beliefs in Reincarnation and Past Life Regression
An Open Letter to Giuseppe Filotto (The Kurgan): On Reincarnation, Past Lives, and the Catholic Faith
Dear Giuseppe,
You often speak with conviction about defending the true Catholic faith, and you take no small pride in denouncing those you see as false teachers, heretics, and "grifter" charlatans. It is precisely because you demand such rigor and fidelity from others that I feel compelled to address one of the more glaring inconsistencies in your public record: your past endorsement of reincarnation and past life regression therapy—views that are explicitly condemned by the Catholic Church.
On your old blog, Gfilotto.com, which still exists in internet archives, you not only explored ideas about past lives but even claimed personal experiences and insights related to reincarnation. You wrote about memories of previous lifetimes and described undergoing—or conducting—regression sessions. These are not passing comments or hypothetical musings; they were presented seriously, as part of your own spiritual and philosophical journey.
Let us be clear: belief in reincarnation is incompatible with Catholic doctrine.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states unambiguously:
"Death is the end of man’s earthly pilgrimage, of the time of grace and mercy which God offers him so as to work out his earthly life in keeping with the divine plan, and to decide his ultimate destiny." (CCC 1013)
And further:
"There is no 'reincarnation' after death." (CCC 1013, note)
Catholic teaching affirms that each human soul is created by God at the moment of conception and lives only once on earth. At death, the soul is judged and awaits either purification (Purgatory), the Beatific Vision (Heaven), or eternal separation from God (Hell). There are no cycles of rebirth, no past incarnations, and no future ones.
It is not a minor deviation to entertain reincarnation—it is a serious doctrinal error that undermines the entire Christian understanding of grace, salvation, the uniqueness of Christ's redemptive sacrifice, and the resurrection of the body.
So here lies the tension: you claim to be one of the few remaining "true Catholics," a defender of Tradition, and a tireless opponent of heresy and apostasy. And yet you have publicly promoted ideas that the Church has always rejected as false and spiritually dangerous.
Have you publicly repented of those views? Have you corrected the record and warned your followers about the grave errors of New Age practices such as past life regression? If you have, it is not readily visible. If you haven’t, the inconsistency speaks volumes.
This is not written in mockery or malice. Rather, it is an appeal to the very standard you hold others to. If you believe in the fullness of the Catholic faith, then you must accept all of it—not only those parts that appeal to your personal experiences or philosophical preferences.
To continue preaching orthodoxy while quietly leaving your heterodox teachings in the past uncorrected is not integrity—it is evasion. And for someone so quick to call others grifters, heretics, and infiltrators, that raises a question worth asking:
Are you prepared to hold yourself to the same standard?
In Christ and Truth,
PadreGeo
