Summary/Abstract: In times of globalization, a modern man has to deal with ever increasing impact of New Age ideology on his life.Preaching moral relativism becomes a very attractive way of life, especially for people who are, in this way, freed from too constraining and restricting human freedom ethical standards, particularly proclaimed by the Catholic Church. A momentum to eliminate the slightest difficulty in the whole social, cultural and ethical process is created. There is a bad practice of determining spiritual needs. Institutions, that feel responsible for the formation of the register of the spiritual needs of a man in particular times are created.New Age is just a new method of practicing gnosis, that is such a spiritual attitude that in the name of the profound knowledge of God ultimately rejects His word, replacing it with what is a figment of the man himself. It was never withdrawn from the area of Christianity, but always somehow coexisted with it in the form of a hidden para-religious practice, which very deeply breaks with what is Christian and steps into the life of a man, creating a threat to hislife and health.
