Let me see if I understand this right.

mm, you have not gotten anything of Catholicism right in a very long time.

If Catholics have charismatic services, it’s not *mob emotion* (post 6,459). But if Protestants have charismatic services, it is (post 6,455). So, it all depends on who’s holding the services whether the charismatic service is *mob emotion* or not. Right?

It's not so much the who. It's the manner. The Catholic Charismatics are not equivalent either in belief or in form to the Pentecostal or other Protestant groups whom one may think of in this fashion. Catholics believe in revenence and homage during worship, not behaving like soccer or rugby crowds.

On the contrary, what is described in the article is in essence no different than what goes on in Protestant charismatic services.

You contention is that they are somehow inherently different.

And you know this how?

How many Protestant charismatic services have you attended?

Do you know the intent behind them?

What kind of powers if discernment and mind reading do you have to allow you to evaluate them so?

On what criteria do make this determination of the differences between them and what personal qualifications do you possess that enables you to speak authoritatively about it?

Are your eyes brown?

Of course Catholic "revenence" (sic) may be a Catholicspeak word which means "wild and crazy guys".
