my question isnt really about speaking in tounges its about hearing word from God... ive been to more than one church that there they get revelations or a word from God within, and they make something out of it, and sometimes they even have something special to say to me....
i just dont know if the priests have ever had such a gift but some christian groups do have that gift...
Who has told you they 'fall from the Spirit'..?
The Priest running the event? Or is it blind belief on your part..?
I find it ironic that some who support this extreme Protestant based, questionable activity are the same ones who are ultra Conservative, have almost demonised me for my adherence to Liberation theology and have advised those who don't conform to their way of thinking to go someplace else other than OBOB.
Well I'll tell you something if OBOB becomes a haven for trickery and charletons, as witnessed by this false and dangerouss practice then I'll be the first out the door as it won't be a Catholic forum anymore...
I would not call it blind belief. I understand some skepticism but I think you are protesting too strongly. This is simply an area of Christianity that some seek and for which the Pope and Church have approved. Being an approved movement that is overseen by our Shepherds should be enough. We do not need people conducting personal witch hunts. And, I think you are conducting a witch hunt because you seem to ignore the posts of those here that are involved with the CCR.
If we were to find another approved aspect of the Church that could fall under such a "witch hunt," I suspect we could look at Marian devotion. This is something the Church has approved of. Yet, we have some who are looking for those that worship Mary as some kind of diety. I think this a good analogy because I do not believe we have any significant abuse in any of these areas. And, I have never witnessed any personally. Most importantly, the Church has not sent anything stating we have a problem with either the Charismatic Movement or Marian Devotion. And, I am certain we can find other areas to create suspicion if you like. But why? If the Church has no concern then why set out with your torches and sheets looking for any where for possible abuse, ready to string up the first you even suspect? After all, you posts have led me to this as a poissible cause for your "concern."
Let the Shepherds be Shepherds and we will follow as Sheep.
Again, as Catholic we are obedient to the Pope and magisterium and all doctrines of the Church. the CCR movement is approved and so there is no issue here. If you have found yourself being asked to post at "the Lord's Table" for cafeteria Catholics than I suspect you have posted in a way to approve of some dissent with with doctrine(s) of the Church and/or the Pope and Magisterium whom we are to be obedient to. Please correct me on any of my posts if you believe I am in error.
Are you seriously trying to tell us the Pope Benedict puts Marian (mother of God) devotion on an equal footing with these gatherings. Is that what these 'shephards' tell you in your meetings..?
Hold on a cotton picking minute. You have sad already here that you have the 'gift' of prophecy. Who, within the Vatican has confirmed this fist. Or indeed the 'gift' you claim your wife posesses?
If not the Vatican, your local Archbishop?
If not your Archbishop your Parish Priest?
If not your Parish Priest then who exactly..???
Nope, and that should be obvious. For me it is.
You seem to miss the point. Maybe you cannot see the forest for all the trees? Step back some and try being objective when you read it. It was not a comparison of value but an analogy of making a mountain out of a mole hill.
What is your point?
Maybe you will tell us who should discern these things? Apparently, the Pope is not enough for you to be content when he writes what a good job the CCR is doing. So, maybe you could help the Pope by making your valuable opinions known to him?
S.ilvio, I have one Judge and it is not you. I will leave you to what ever agenda you have.
Now hold it right there my brothers and sisters in Christ. I think that we should cool down for this time so as not to melt the thread if the spark has become a blaze.
*sets up the 氷 (ice) shield and engage!*
