Charismatic Catholics

[Oik]

Kristen,

I have heard this from some on campus at FUS. I don't know if this is true or not (that is, if it is in his book or not). I haven't read anything from or about Fr. Scanlon yet.


I didn't vote because my option itsn't there.

Generally though, the charism of speaking in tongues seems to be becoming more definded. I used to get a lot of different repsonses by Charismatic Catholics. Nowadays though, there seems to be a general consensus on what it is and etc.

From my experience, Catholics involved in the charismatic movement/renewal explain it as a langauge between you and the Holy Spirit. A language of prayer. It sounds like it doesn't make sense to those listening. It is a personal thing, not meant for interpretation (which is Speaking in Tonuges and requires an interpreter).


The Catholics involved in the charismatic movement/renewal in a way call to mind for me, the ecstatic prophets in the Old Testament.

I don't know if it is in the Bible or not. I haven't studied it enough in context. It's hard to say. Either way though, it is like any other approved spiritual practice. It has to be used properly.

Fr. Mike writes in his book something like, when they said mass together they both groaned utterings to the Holy Spirit. I think it is purposley left to be a bit ambiguous, but I took it to be his way of saying speaking in tongues. Wish I would have asked Fr. Mike directly when I had the chance, maybe someday I will

and they do in the majority of places only because there's an SSPX/indpt./sede chapel in the area...

Source, please?


I know that to be untrue, at least in my home Diocese (Pensacola-Tallahassee).


Also, is the Indult Mass neccessary for Salvation? No. Vernacular NO, Latin NO, the Tridentine Mass, or any of the several Divine Liturgies will do.

Nor is the Tridentine Mass a meterstick for Orthodoxy, as is sometimes implied.

It's nice. I like it, but prefer a Latin NO (that being the Mass of the Latin Church).

I've seen it done a lot of times in some of the Catholic groups I've attended. My spiritual advisor does it all the time. And from my understanding its bibically sound and a language meant for stronger prayer intention to God without the knowledge of the enemy.

I've never been able to speak in tongues, though at times I'm able to translate it.

From my experience, and the conversations I've had with my spiritual advisors over the years, only speak in tongues if it can be scriptually supported and translated, if no one else has a word from God as to what is being said, chances are, it's not coming from God.
