I probably did say that he certainly should not be venerated as Saint by Catholics since he was not Catholic and apparently had some associations with an the anti-Catholic group the Freemasons.[/quote] I agree with Resurrexi, both in regard to venerating MLK and about the emotionalism of the Charismatic Movement. The world must be about to end, because Resurrexi and I rarely agree about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may not know that three Popes have backed the movement. Is there emotionalism? Yes, because the Charismatic Movement is in the heart, as the Holy Spirit is in there heart. Is there too little discernment at times? Yes! But, under the guidance of the Holy See and local bishops, the movement will be honed.

The movement is a turn off to me because its theological underpinnings are Protestant, and as a former Protestant I have no interest in re-embracing my past spiritual views.
