I think that Charismatic Catholics deserve their own rite.

My DH is an Usher and therefore an EMHC. I think in some parishes, the blue haired nuns would be my LAST choice for EMHCs!

In my parish, ushers and Ministers of Communion are different people, but neither of our nuns (nice ladies!) is physically up to either job. I like to get together with them just to chat, though. The one with Alzheimer’s was in the Coast Guard during World War II!

I’ve been to “Charismatic Masses” in which prayer or singing in tongues is a part, and I think that’s fine as long as it’s clearly stated upfront that this is what will go on. On other occasions, I’ve been to “regular” Masses with charismatic prayer, for healing, offered afterward. “Pentecostal,” whether Catholic or Protestant, is an experience that shouldn’t be just dropped on the unaware!
