the Church's teachings regarding Spiritual gifts

Hi guys,

I've been wondering: What does the Church teach regarding the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 (and Romans 12)?

It seems protestants are the only ones who seem to teach quite a bit about them, yet I haven't come across much Catholic literature. Can anyone recommend anything regarding the gifts?

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems there's virtually nothing official from the Church.

The only books I've come across are by Francis Macnutt (a former priest, who chose to be defrocked, but still is Catholic). His books on healing are quite helpful actually.

Thoughts?

Whoa....I think I found a partial answer to my own question! Here's

INSTRUCTION ON PRAYERS FOR HEALING
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

I didn't finish reading it, but it explains how to go about praying for healing, from the CDF, signed by our current Pope (then, Ratzinger)!!
