No. I used to be more charismatic back in my Protestant days.Are you a charismatic Catholic?
There are Catholics who've been baptized in the Holy Spirit, and yes, they do speak in tongues ... just like in the Protestant denominations. The same Holy Spirit is active and living and powerful across denominational lines!I never heard it in a Catholic setting before. I thought it was only Pentecostals and denominations like that.
How many years have you been a Catholic? With the exception of going to the Non Denom church and Lutheran for a few years, I’ve been a cradle Catholic.No. I used to be more charismatic back in my Protestant days.
What are you’re feelings about charismatic Catholicism?No. I used to be more charismatic back in my Protestant days.
I became Catholic right before Pope JPII died.How many years have you been a Catholic? With the exception of going to the Non Denom church and Lutheran for a few years, I’ve been a cradle Catholic.
I have not been exposed to it enough to know. I know CCR is approved of by popes who say there is room for it within the Church. The services are usually held outside of the Mass. I understand there is much more order to it than what you see in charismatic Protestant churches.What are you’re feelings about charismatic Catholicism?
I've listened to Joyce Meyers programs on and off thru the years.I knew most people here wouldn’t be. What are your reasons? Because her book is, so far, helpful to me.
P.S. @FaithTI've listened to Joyce Meyers programs on and off thru the years.
And my husband and I went to go hear her publicly speak, about a decade ago. It was a good experience.
I like Joyce, but I do consider her to be more of a Christian 'self-help' kind of teacher.
I don't listen to her for doctrinal instruction, etc.
Today I am listening to an old Mother Angelica Live program on YouTube. Now, imo, if you want to see a working example of a Catholic woman moving in the Holy Spirit charismatic gifts, it is Mother Angelica!
Though Mother Angelica apparently did not publicly identify with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement, there are stories out there that say she did pray in tongues. I didn't spend a long time searching, but did easily find this one (below). I don't know if all said in it is true, but repeatedly I've read that she did pray in tongues. (Whether she continued to do so or not, I do not know.) ..........
Mother Angelica of EWTN in one of her books talks about the charismatic experience she and her sisters had in the early years of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. A visiting priest arrived and asked her if she wanted to “receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”; she responded yes, and he laid his hands on her head. He departed and she dismissed it, but a few days after he left, she suddenly fell to the floor (this is known as “slaying” by the Holy Spirit) and began to speak in tongues, experiencing an extreme euphoria. By the laying on of hands, she shared this experience with all her sisters and the entire convent was full of joy. Later, she decided that this abundant joy was not conducive to the work she’d committed to perform and abandoned it.
Tongues
The word has multiple meanings—in anatomy, geophysics—as well as figurative and literal meanings in literature. One meaning is speech—a “golden tongue,” a “diabolical tongue.” And it means language identity, as in the Greek tongue, the English tongue. And in The Acts of the Apostles: Tongues as...staustinreview.org
Tongues is not the only evidence of the Holy Spirit working in a person's life, nor do I believe it is a 'requirement'. There are the other charismatic spiritual gifts like:
Those that impart the power to know: Word wisdom, Word of knowledge, Discernment of spirits
Those that impart the power to act supernaturally: Faith, Miracles, Healings
Those that impart the power to speak supernaturally: Prophecy, Tongues, Interpretation of tongues
Those that aid one's own ministry: Pastor-Teacher, Evangelism, Exhortation, Teaching
Those that give help to the ministry of others: Showing mercy, Administration, Giving, Helps, Intercession
Having watched, listened to, and read Mother Angelica for years, I believe she most likely moved in most all, if not all, of the above ^ spiritual gifts.
I know who she is. I like her.P.S. @FaithT
Another example of a charismatic Catholic women is Johnnette (Benkovic) Williams. If you watch EWTN, you may have seen her program 'Women of Grace'.
I've heard Johnnette sometimes talk about her charismatic experiences, and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement. I don't know if she prays in tongues, but she does talk in support of the movement. The purpose of the charismatic spiritual gifts is to help build and grow the Body of Christ.; the Women of Grace ministry appears to be doing that, as it continues itself to grow.
There were/are Catholic charismatic groups, but they’re relatively small.I never heard it in a Catholic setting before. I thought it was only Pentecostals and denominations like that.
There are various charismatic groups within each denominations. Pentecostalism is a separate denomination.I know who she is. I like her.
Are there charismatic groups in the Lutheran LCMS denomination?There are various charismatic groups within each denominations. Pentecostalism is a separate denomination.
I have no idea.Are there charismatic groups in the Lutheran LCMS denomination?
I’ve never heard it, but then, I never heard about it in Catholicism until maybe 18 years or so ago.I have no idea.
Yes. And, not exactly.There are various charismatic groups within each denominations. Pentecostalism is a separate denomination.
