I didn't know there's a word for it, but google defines glossolalia as:
"the phenomenon of (apparently) speaking in an unknown language, especially in religious worship. It is practiced especially by Pentecostal and charismatic Christians."
I have a feeling that the Democrats aren't fighting back as hard as I expected on the potential ACB nomination.
They have a plan to destroy her, and maybe glossolalia (aka speaking in tongues) will be their means of attack.
I can see Kamala asking her, "Do you believe that you have the Gift of Tongues?"
Please. You can listen to people do that and it's obviously not language, it's just gibberish.

What a truly bizarre thread.
The fact is, after the Kavanaugh travesty they shouldn’t even have a hearing. Just vote up or down.
Speaking in tongues is part of those ridiculous charismatic movements that make scientology look pedestrian.
The authors must confuse it with Communion. I could see that (/s)
We're talking democrats here.
that’s because you’re a non believer and the Bible says the Word would be gibberish to you. Case in point.
I’ve been a Catholic my whole life, from a Catholic family-speaking in tongues is NOT a Catholic thing-we don’t do it-and ACB is a Catholic, so that is just off-the-wall...
“...but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
I would suggest that, in the penumbra of that phrase, exist a ban on an abortion test.
Can all you haters please look it up? I’m trying to help the cause here. Sheesh!

The Charismatic movement among Catholics started in ‘67 in the U.S. My family was involved some. Franciscan U was very charismatic, though it has become big enough to be diverse.
And the People of Praise are Catholic Charismatic up the wazoo. So yes, it is a potential line of attack.
And it also make me wary of her as a nominee.
Who is ACB? A. Cory Booker?
The Charismatic movement in the Church peaked in the 70’s and 80’s, and was never more than a fairly small minority in most places, but the Church is big enough that “small minority” can number in the millions in the U.S. and tens of millions world wide.
