Again the early church looked like 1Corinthians not the present day mass.
How much more historical do you want than 1Corinthians

1Corinthians does not go in depth. Nothing in 1Corinthians goes against the modern mass. The Liturgy of St. James fits the Catholic mass very closely. So does the Liturgy of The Blessed Apostles. In fact the Liturgy of St. James is used by the Maronite Catholics. The early Church fits the Catholic Church of today extremely closely.

I have never seen the gifts of the Spirit operate in the manner described in 1 Corinthians

I do not understand the meaning of that statement.

First off, 1 Corinthians is not a historical record. It is a letter to the church at Corinth. It is dealing with specific problems, not giving an account of specific worships practices.

Second, its off topic. You need to produce historical proff that what you think and belief as a “biblical” Christian did in fact exist prior to yesterday (historically).

BTW there are Catholics who do speak in tongues. Ever heard of Catholic Charismatic Renewal?

Peace
 
The Bible coupled withn the writings of the Early Church Fathers(if you can’t believe them then you can’t believe anyone, they were martyrs for Christ) gives us a pretty accurate picture of the early Christian church. It was not Baptist, it was not LDS, it was not Lutheran, it was not Presbyterian, it was not…, it was not…, it was not… It WAS however, very Catholic and Orthodox. An objective reading of the evidence leaves one with no other conclusion.

The speaking in tongues, the prophesy.

We are not pentecostals. The mass is not focused on speaking in tongues and prophecy. It is focused on the Eucharist and on learning the teachings of Christ.

Sounds like my church also

Now you have confused me. If that sounds like your church also, then you must believe in the real presence and you are in the Catholic Church.

Besides, I don’t think we should take the Corinthians as an example. They were a pretty messed up congregation! Yet that’s exactly what I’ve seen in much of the (Prot) Charismatic movement, especially the overemphasis on spectacular gifts. As other posters have noted, Paul’s teaching in I Cor definitely fits in with the Catholic tradition.
