There is a strange love-hate relationship between Catholics and Pentecostals, within and outside the church. It has to do with the validity of private revelation and the pitfalls of accepting it. Think of how long it took the church to respond to Fatima, on the one hand and Jim Jones on the other.
Trusting private revelation and those who act on inspiration is difficult. That said, acting Christian makes sense, but endorsing private revelation as authority doesn’t.
If the Spirit will harness us with Christ’s yoke, millions can be lifted to Heaven.
Christ said that there will always be poor among us; that his main purpose was not to solve the issue of material poverty but to enrich the souls of men with the kingdom of Heaven! Granted, the fruits of the spirit include a compassion for the sick and needy, but more importantly a passion for the lost souls of human kind must also be first and foremost.
