Catholic charismaticism in general, or just the praying in tongues part?

[Marysecretary]

Lots of priests were in the Catholic charismatic movement, including Father Bertolucci, Francis McNutt, and many others. Speaking in tongues is scriptural. If you do it in a public setting, you need an interpreter, but many of us have a prayer language (tongues) that's used to pray to the Father. It's His gift to those who desire it.
