"Yet
another Moody Radio show is embracing Roman Catholic teachings.
Unfortunately this may be the worst one yet because a Catholic
theologian promotes Roman Catholic teachings without any push back from
the Moody's host, Melinda Schmidt. The
Catholic guest, Pia de Solenni, was interviewed about The New Feminism. She states: "The priest in Catholic theology, stands in the person of
Christ." She also said, "for Christians we have one right of initiation
for both men and women: that's Baptism, that's how you become a
Christian, whether you are male or female." Melinda's response embraced
the fatal lie of baptismal regeneration.
(See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptismal_regeneration, and http://baptismalregenerationheresy.com/)
She said: "Yes, we all come to Christ the same, men and women, it's the same formula (laughter), it's the same rite as you said to come to Christ." You can listen to the program here.

Melinda Schmidt grew up in Wheaton,
Ill., listening to Moody Radios flagship station, WMBI FM. As a kid, she
was eager to grab the mic of the familys Wallensak tape machine to
record make-believe news broadcasts and imaginary radio shows. Early
tapes have her announcing the arrival of the Beagles—otherwise known as
"the Beatles"—to America. A career in broadcasting appears to have been
inevitable! Melinda is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and holds a
B.S. in Broadcasting-Bible from Calvary Bible College. She has
served with Moody Radio since 1980 in various hosting capacities.
Married with two young adult children, Melinda lives outside Chicago,
loves reading, developing her creative interests and hopes to be a
life-long learner.

"In 2011 Moody Press published Prayers for Today: A Yearlong Journey of Contemplative Prayer. It is based on the writings of Catholic mystics such as Thomas Aquinas, Teresa of Avila, Mother Teresa, and Meister Eckhart, theological modernist Harry Fosdick, and other heretics.

In November 2011, Moody Bible Institute’s Midday Connection radio program featured Adele Ahlberg Calhoun as a guest, and Moody host Anita Lustrea recommends Calhoun in her book What Women Tell Me. “Lustrea tells how she met Calhoun during a course called Growing Your Soul
(Calhoun is co-director and founder of the program) and how Calhoun
taught her some of the contemplative ‘spiritual disciplines’ p. 125”
(“Spiritual Disciplines Handbook,” Lighthouse Trails, July 2, 2012).
Calhoun’s Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices That Transform Us
is a primer on contemplative mysticism. Calhoun enthusiastically
recommends Roman Catholic mystics such as Ignatius Loyola, St. Benedict,
Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Richard Rohr,
Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating, David Steindl-Rast, William
Meninger, and M. Basil Pennington. In the Acknowledgement’s page, she
says that “their ideas, voices and examples have shaped my own words and
experience of the disciplines.” Not only did these mystics hold to a
false gospel, which is under the divine curse of Galatians 1, but some
of them were panentheists and universalists."
