Hi Pals,
I have been reading for a long time, but I have been kind of "shy", so I have not written much here. I hope I am writing this comment on the correct thread.
I think we have two issues at hand.
A) What do we believe, that is Theology.
B) How do we exercise our Belief in Real Life.
Protestants have a different Theology, that is, a Wrong One.
Based on their Errors, they developed "Practices", or Ways to experience their Beliefs.
Because their Beliefs are Wrong, their Spirituality carries also a lot of Errors in the Practice.
I said Protestants, but You know, there are thousands of different names for them. Modern Names are Pentecostals, or Charismatics. This particular variety focuses its "Theology" around their own idea about what is the "Holy Spirit".
Since they are known to get Theology in the Wrong Ways, it does not come as a surprise that they get the Wrong Idea about the Holy Spirit too.
Finally, since the Theological Grounds for their Practices, in relation to the Holy Spirit are Wrong, all their Practices are full of Errors too, especially those they believe involve the Holy Spirit.
Until here, I was talking about Protestants.
Now, about the so-called: Catholic Charismatic Renewal...
I think we have two issues at hand.
A) What do we believe, that is Theology.
B) How do we exercise our Belief in Real Life.
We have a problem here because Catholics from this Movement are using the Option A) from the Catholic Church, but unfortunately they are picking the Option B) from the Pentecostals.
I have read a thousand times that this Movement is expected to bring Protestants into Catholicism, but I find that statement beyond naive because in the Real Life it does the very opposite.
Cheers,
DT.
