What is the difference between Catholic and charismatic Catholic?

Answer 1

.

Answer from a CatholicAttached below is an article from New Covenant, a monthly magazine which caters to those active in the Catholic and protestant pentecostal or charismatic movements. All I have to say is that although I pretty much agree with what the article is saying, my confessor has told me that there is an orthodox Charismatic movement inside the Church, and they are completely obedient to the magisterium. I trust my spiritual director who is an excellent priest. He is not telling me that I have to believe in this movement or join it, but that I cannot condemn it as, as of Summer 2012, the Church has not officially condemned it. That being said, it is important that if one is drawn to a charismatic group, to make absolutely sure that they are in complete communion with the Church and completely subject to the Church. Further, that they are not going off and doing things on their own, especially with protestants. St Paul warned vehemently about grouping with unbelievers, and remember, several Popes have infallibly taught that there is no salvation outside of the Church. As long as you are a faithful child of the Church, going to confession and Holy Communion regularly, you should be okay.
