Who brought up Mother Angelica?
If you're asking for the Catholic perspective about something why are you addressing six non-Catholics and one Catholic in your post? Seems more like "hold my beer and watch this".
Mother Angelica is a now elderly nun who lives in Alabama. She started a monastery there that eventually added a TV/Radio broadcasting facility, I don't think she's had anything to do with the operations or programming for most of the last decade. She and her nuns "experimented" with "the Charismatic Gifts" during the 70s (IIRC) and then quit because (and I'm paraphrasing based on memory) "it" wasn't as deep as the Franciscan spirituality they already had and caused more confusion than peace.
There are still "charismatic" Catholics. I don't know what to make of them and I'm firmly convinced that "Rome" doesn't understand what the deal is either. To a Roman a charismatic is someone who says "amen" during the homily...
Thanks for the knee-slapper...

That’s almost a knee slapper. LOL.
The Pecos retreat center in NM is Charismatic—with a good reputation.
Thank you for the reply. Due to the scarcity of Catholic posters responses, I have had to do my own research. From what I've seen, Rome and your popes know exactly what they are doing. "In the spirit of ecumenism", they have found an inroad into Protestantism for their own means and ends and are milking it for all it's worth, to Rome. They dont care what you think.
And that brings us back to the "theme" of this thread.
The movement was officially approved at Vatican 2 it looks like, and putting Vatican 2 and 2 together-— why it looks like someone noticed how much Pentacostalism was growing in South America, Africa and around the world, and something needed to be done, to compete. The picture is getting clearer.
