Individual Opinion?
The Catholic Church explicity condemns all practice of sorcery, witchcraft, and divination, etc. CCC 2116 declares that ""All forms" of divination are to be rejected." Unless you are claiming that Ouija boards are not practices of divination, then I don't know what could be the issue. KEleison (talk) 06:15, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- The issue, as stated, is that WP disallows “individual research.” You cannot add text on the basis of what YOU claim to be true. Find a citation to back this up. RobP (talk) 13:52, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
It's also true that the Ouija board parlour game is not a "practice of sorcery, witchcraft, and divination", any more than the Magic 8 Ball or Eeny Meeny Miney Moe or a card trick or a routine meant to discover your soap opera name. I don't know if the Catholic Church has specifically claimed it is one, but to put it in OP's words, "Ouija boards are not practices of divination". Categorically. Laodah 19:04, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
"Ouija boards are not practices of divination" Wow, everybody's been using them wrong for over 100 years...
