From heresy into delusion?

In a previous post I have a minor rant about the PC nuns who have been gently reminded by the Vatican that they are supposed to be Catholic.
My rant wasn't that they are not agreeing with the church, but because as a doctor I have had run ins with a few of them who were into reiko, theraputic touch, enneagrams,  and other forms of magical thinking instead of doing real life practical things like nursing and teaching...like the German and African nuns who I worked with in Africa.

In my rant, I joked that considering who is the keynote speaker at their next convention, that it looks like they are now into "coast to coast" territory, referring to the late night radio show that discusses UFO's and conspiracy theories.

Well, I looked it up, and sure enough, their invited speaker has been on coast to coast.
Her conspiracy theories are anti Christian (implying with the help of these experts,  mankind will evolve the next  step into a superman type being,)
"I think we're seeing the emergence of a universal species...we're going to have extended life, extended intelligence, extended contact throughout the universe, that we'll be freed up from repetitive labor...and the species itself will evolve into a co-created humanity... But if we don't, if we stay self-centered, separate, competitive, overpopulating and polluting, we won't make it," she stated. We're seeing a breakthrough of more people becoming conscious of god, super-nature, spirit, or tendency of higher order-- a transcending impulse of higher evolution, she continued. 
(hmm...her idea is familiar: I first ran across years ago in a science fiction story by a well known writer who will be nameless since he has passed away, but who was known here in Asia for his preference for little boys)...

The problem?
Doesn't quite sound like the Baltimore Catechism now, does it?  All of those superior folks evolving to a higher consciousness, leaving us primitive papists and Pinoys behind to party...

sort of reminds me of this:
