What are the differences? As a side question, is Lifeteen Charismatic?
 
Lifeteen is very outgoing and is similar to the Charismatic. It’s probably different depending on where it is and who runs it. I’ve been in it for three years and it’s almost a very watered down charismatic without any tongues or anything. So, if you are against it I wouldn’t see it as harmful but it could lead to the charismatic.
 
This is way off topic, but could anybody who was is this thread or answered it please explain to me what you are talking about. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but when I read a lot of posts on this sight I have no idea what is being said, and how do I learn about it. Please help, and I know the rules say not to ask a question in someone’s thread, but I really want to know a lot more about Catholisism

Charismatic is supposed to be based around the Holy Spirt and a lot of the charisms that occur during their meetings. It really becomes a question of “do you think they are speaking in tongues or not.” A lot of people don’t believe that it is real for different reasons making a lot of threads on this subject on the forums (If you’d like a more in depth reason why I don’t believe in it send me a pm).

Traditional Catholics are Catholics that have a very high respect for the mass and its traditions and don’t like it when people disrespect the mass or alter it. They also tend to prefer the Latin Rite of the mass.

Do Charismatic Catholics encourage holding hands during the Pater Noster?
 
Yes. Lifeteen is Charasmatic. I know that through experence. I have yet to hear of a lifeteen TLM (lol).

Note that, that dosent make it (Lifeteen) bad, however I would recomend a more traditional formation of faith for young people.

God Bless and Ave Maria!

I thought so. I just wanted to make sure. I remember, in one Lifeteen day, after I underwent my conversion from Charismatic Catholic to Traditional Catholic without even knowing it, the Youth Minister asked us to hold hands during prayer. In my head, I was like “dang it!”

I think that since Lifeteen is Charismatic, it made me come to this forum, which inspired me to learn more about the Catechism and Canon Law.

Edit: I heard that Charismatics focus on the emotions. Is that true?

Yes, it’s a very watered down version of the charismatic that is very focused on emotions and holding hands and things of that sort. I think that a lot of things of that sort are ok until you get into the charisms, or when you focus mainly on emotions and feelings.
 
I don’t think that Lifeteen is charismatic. Charismatic Catholics are more about speaking in tongues, etc.

The main difference between charismatic and traditional I guess would be style of liturgy. But someone could be charismatic and traditional: as in they believe in the charismatic gifts, but attend the TLM.

Do charismatic liturgies tend to have rock music?

Yes, I agree. There are a couple of charismatic enthusiasts that are literally indefatigable. The last couple of threads ran to over 600 posts (I did not think that was even possible).🤷

And why are all these charismatic themes popping up on the Traditional boards? Does anyone else think this is weird? 😛

Maybe we should scrap the term “traditional” or “traditionalist,” and all just become “charismatic.” The tongue we speak in just happens to be Latin. 😉

If they do, they aren’t celebrating Mass in a liturgically correct way. That would be an abuse and pretty much foreign to Catholicism.

Technically, it isn’t an abuse if the diocesan bishop says it’s okay and it’s not too secular.

Technically, even if a Cardinal himself said “It’s okay to play rock music at Mass” it would still be abuse.

Back of the net, both of you.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I am a little bolder and I say plainly that it’s a load of old protestantised nonsense. It may be that it takes some people indirectly and eventually to God, but it is a lesser of two evils and doesn’t deserve to be related to Catholicism.

It’s like spiders in a Cathedral, they may very well be harmless enough and keep away flies, but they leave dirty webs and degrade the image of a place devoted to God. Failure to remove old webbing and keep swarming insects out is fairly to be blamed on the keeper of the Cathedral.

Out of respect for individual Protestants I wouldn’t use the language you have - using the word protestant as a pejorative is perhaps more harmful than anything. I don’t like it when a protestant uses ‘Catholic’ or ‘Roman’ in a pejorative sense so out of respect for the person (and not necessarily his heretical beliefs) I woudn’t use that language. However, I do agree with what you say otherwise and I get the point you are trying to make.

I had to laugh when the poster said (paraphrased) “rock is okay at Mass as long as it isn’t too secular”. Riiiiight-o. So, guitars, drums and rock melodies… not too secular? :rolleyes:

How about we give God the best, the holiest? How about we elevate our minds instead of trying to desperately have something to tap our feet at because we’re too spiritually lazy to recognize what is going on at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Rock music isn’t necessarily secular. It depends on the culture. There could be a culture where Rock is sacred and Latin Chants are secular. Now, if you’re talking about American culture, then I agree with you. I think that rock music shouldn’t be used during mass.
