Shana Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Has anyone read [u]Sober Intoxication of the Spirit [/u]by Fr. Cantalamessa, who was preacher to the papal household for JPII? Seriously people, there is nothing wrong with the charismatic movement. Perhaps there have been abuses to the Mass or a sloppy job integrating it in some cases but seriously now... this is very dissapointing.

jeffpugh Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I suppose I am charismatic in the sense that my outpouring of joy is through music, my glossolalia is Gregorian chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 A good text to read on the spiritual life, especially as it concerns avoiding the pitfalls of emotionalism and sensationalism, is the [url="http://www.amazon.com/Philokalia-Complete-Compiled-Nikodimos-Markarios/dp/0571130135"]Philokalia[/url], a collection of patristical and mystical writings popular in the Eastern Churches.

Brother Adam Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Apotheoun' date='15 April 2010 - 09:01 PM' timestamp='1271376075' post='2094346'] I agree, the video just depicts the ongoing disintegration of the Roman Rite's liturgy. My other comments were not directed at the video [i]per se[/i], but at the theology / ideology that forms the foundation of the Charismatic movement. That is why I apologized to Zunshynn for hijacking her thread. [/quote] I really don't care if people get together on their own time and dance and sing praises to the Lord - King David did. I also don't care if people raise their hands in prayer. The disintegration of the Roman Rite's liturgy has more to do with the Novus Ordo and its implementation since VII than with the charasmatic movement. For me the CM liturgies are an 'end' not a 'cause'. After long discussions with those connected to Ralph Martin and other national leaders (his daughter is our oldest's godmother) I have suspended judgment on the legitimacy of the gifts as expressed at FUS other than to say I believe most of it is emotionally driven - neither evil or of the Holy Spirit.

Edited to add: You are also watching the charismatic conference - that's about as extreme as it gets and almost no students go. The FOPS are also attended only by some students. I went to Mass on campus at least once a week, usually in the morning when I couldn't make St. Peters during the week. Their Mass is relatively low key and you may see one or two people raise their hands. Apart from that their Masses are more traditional than 80% of the Masses I have been to apart from FUS.

Totus Tuus Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure why you would be crediting anything by an organization that puts out anything smelling of the title, "Vatican II: The Best Council the Protestants Ever Had." Clearly, CLEARLY, respect for Holy Mother Church is not very high on their priority list... ...so whatever anyone may think of the [i]Catholic Charismatic Movement[/i] -- not Pentecostalism, which the video falsely claims this is -- they should reexamine their motives for disagreeing with it and rethink where their hearts truly are. I don't think these kinds of movements have anything to do with defending the Church. They have to do with pride.

Laudate_Dominum Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I nominate Mr. Ed as the next infallible supreme pontiff of phatmass. That way we could just say that he's right and anyone who disagrees with him is wrong. That would simplify matters anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do believe that the Charismatic movement exacerbates an already bad situation, and thus makes it many times worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
