I feel more connected to the Spirit of Evangelicals (as I have encountered them in my life) than even my own fellow Catholics. That's not a hit to my fellow Catholics whom I have a lot of respect for, but I'm talking about that feeling that I have among Evangelicals, that evokes the sense that the Holy Spirit dwells there. A kind of a quiet, imaginative, effusive Mercy.

I love their love of St. Paul, and I've learned a lot from them. Although having attended an Assembly of God Service with a dear co-worker sent me running back to the Mass and the Liturgy.

I also think that over the last decade Evangelicals have had some influence on Catholics, forcing us to hone our apologetics. Now, when I listen to EWTN radio I often hear the phrase "Jesus Christ, our Lord and personal Savior", that's an Evangelical phrase.

Ha! I know the feeling! Some of those folks can get a little crazy.

That's an excellent phrase to borrow.
