I do not take or eschew action at your bidding.

Uh, sure. I'll adjust my plans accordingly.

However, I appreciate the link

Thanks for explicitly saying it - I certainly would have missed it otherwise.

and would point out that nowhere does this article indicate mob emotion.

Perhaps not 'mob emotion'...but certainly getting closer to your off-the-cuff definition expressed earlier. Since my rather conservative Protestant church engages in nothing even remotely similar, you will forgive me if I am unfamiliar enough with it to properly distinguish the subtle differences.

Let me see if I understand this right.

mm, you have not gotten anything of Catholicism right in a very long time.

If Catholics have charismatic services, it’s not *mob emotion* (post 6,459). But if Protestants have charismatic services, it is (post 6,455). So, it all depends on who’s holding the services whether the charismatic service is *mob emotion* or not. Right?

It's not so much the who. It's the manner. The Catholic Charismatics are not equivalent either in belief or in form to the Pentecostal or other Protestant groups whom one may think of in this fashion. Catholics believe in revenence and homage during worship, not behaving like soccer or rugby crowds.

Up to you.

We Catholics are notorious for our graciousness.

Some viewing on YouTube of Hitler, Mussolini, Jim Jones, any successful Pentecostal preacher, and so on might give you enough evidence to conclude that the differences are not subtle at all.

You are coming from the RCC beliefs.....Too much mind reading. I have never been a Roman Catholic.

Sure! Yet you are so concerned about them being laughed at. Not mind reading - it's from reading your posts .

With all your reading and commenting on God's Word, you didn't know God's own have a relationship with Him? But there are many who don't care to KNOW Him.....

"Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Godwin is pleased.

INDEED.

[1000 silverlings]

lol, too funny

[Quix]

Sigh.

What a predictable pile of weasel worded rationalizations!

I was certain you could pull that off somehow.

[Quix]

WELL PUT.

THX.

[MarkBsnr]

I am speaking of techniques. Do you deny any major differences between successful hucksters? Are Mussolini and Barnum that far apart in technique? Or Osteen, for that manner?

THANKFULLY,

Amongst those truly seeking God, His Face, HIS will . . . HIS DELIGHT . . .

and thereby open to exhortations from His Spirit . . .

will learn whatever they should from my humble words.

The rest will likely enjoy their smug, self-righteous, IN-GROUP, !!!!TRADITION!!!! BOUND perspectives.

[MarkBsnr]

And inaccurate.

[1000 silverlings]

119 million world wide off the Pope’s reservation, just a matter of time before they desert him all together if they haven’t already.

[Quix]

NOPE!

Biblical Acts of worship out of sincere hearts are well pleasing to God.

Raising hands thusly is a Biblical act.

Those who have never authentically, sincerely engaged in such sufficiently, have little to no clue about the connection that can be strengthened or initiated by such arm reaching and waving.

God's 'locality' is not nor never has been part of the issue. What a silly, juvenile notion, otherwise.

Just touch one of their sacred cows slightly
from a Proddy perspective and the emotions will
spew out with great venom and intensity.

[1000 silverlings]

can you believe it? the bible says that God looks at the heart, yet some would have us believe He purses His lips at raised hands, lol. It’s a White Hanky attitude for sure Duderoni

[Quix]

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

AND PRAISE GOD FOR

The Roman Catholica Charismatic Renewal.

Otherwise, there’d likely be little to no Holy Spirit Presence at all

in the whole fossilized edifice.

[Quix]

Oh, right.

That DOUBLE STANDARD BUSINESS, DOGMA, RITUAL

STATION OF THE

STATIONS OF THE WHITE HANKY

YET AGAIN.

[metmom]

On the contrary, what is described in the article is in essence no different than what goes on in Protestant charismatic services.

You contention is that they are somehow inherently different.

And you know this how?

How many Protestant charismatic services have you attended?

Do you know the intent behind them?

What kind of powers if discernment and mind reading do you have to allow you to evaluate them so?

On what criteria do make this determination of the differences between them and what personal qualifications do you possess that enables you to speak authoritatively about it?
