Here\u2019s what Sealion wrote:

As a lifelong Catholic I can see how the charismatic movement<\/a> meets a need in the Church (although it does not appeal to me in the slightest). At the same time though, one wonders about the potential issues that can come up from unsupervised charismatic gifts and miracles. As Father Longenecker points out, movements like the Toronto Blessing, clearly indicate the devil\u2019s hand. Whenever I come across a charismatic group I am reminded of a story that a friend of mine, who is now a priest in my diocese, told me about his experience with the charismatic movement in Setubenville. During a charismatic service, a girl began speaking in tongues<\/a> and was clearly moved by the spirit. After the service, and with my friend watching, an older professor went up to the \u201ctongue speaker\u201d and asked her what languages she was fluent in. She responded that she only spoke English, but that she had been speaking in tongues throughout the service. The professor sternly informed her that she had been speaking Italian, and that she had been profaning the name of God and the Saints. Screwtape surely had a laugh at her expense.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
