It is many many times ...Not a fan of this movement. It is many many times too protestant, no Pentecostal in its outlook and does not help people mature in faith but helps them cling to a childish sentimental outlook of the faith. Yes there are true and good people and religious who are part of it but why be seen or see yourself as separate from everyone else in such a distinct manner?<br /><br />Too many times I see Catholics becoming or practicing charismania and falling prey to protestant outlook on the faith. Many do not practice the rosary or attend adoration or benediction etc. Many may attend these devotions but then they do not need to identify themselves as charismatic but simply a sincere devout Catholic. <br /><br />The main problem with this movement like I said is that it ties people to sentimentalism and a immature faith outlook, like in Pentecostal worship. God is a feeling and the rush for that holy feeling can become like a drug and delude people into believing that they must constantly be on a spiritual high. <br /><br />I can go on and on but this is simply my experience when it comes to most charismatics. <br /><br /><br />Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967039334563158549noreply@blogger.com
