I agree with everything you have said. I also love, (that doesn't mean worship, or put before God) many aspects of the charismatic movements. I think many Catholics do. Charismatic Movement . . .

The majesterium of the Catholic church, functions primarily, in my mind, to ensure that the church doesn't become wayward with influences of for example, "new age" trends and ideas that go against God. That is why you won't see too many fringe elements in the Catholic church. I think it is the fringe elements that have tarnished the image of these charismatic movements that are basically admirable. Claiming to know who will be saved or damned, is not a good thing. Being truly filled with the Holy Spirit is.

I meant everything you said in post #4326. I think that is the one I responded to.

I understand that the core leadership has sort of acted as a sea anchor, . . . preventing some fringe abuses . . .

however, a good many seem to still flourish under the RC umbrella. I don’t really see any less than I see in the Protty camp.
