Could you tell me about how it is you think I ignore the gifts of the Spirit?If you choose to put your blinders on and ignore the gifts of the Holy Spirit, that is your mistake, not mine. Just because you don’t understand/believe/accept some aspects of God’s design for his people doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
I left Catholic practice in listening to the vocal gifts. They became my main thrust. And I found revivalism, in which the use of the gifts was revived and vibrant. One after the other, decently and in order, they would speak after worship, a word of knowledge, a prophecy, and interpretation of tongues, no time for a teaching. We’d go home.
I found that we Catholic youth were not taught much, about receiving, even told, you don’t need to. Dry teaching. We did rely solely on them.Catholics rely on the full deposit of faith. Priest are part of that deposit. We don’t rely solely on them, but we allow them to do the job that Christ ordained them to do.
Fortunately, some did give us word from the Spirit, and outpouring including seeing healings.
Fr Emeliano Tardiff MSC taught that we can use the word of knowledge, there were healings, and he advocated confession, communion… mentioning an Evangelical who asked for confession… Fr was led by the Spirit into a brothel, and the women came out repentant. He spoke to me.
It was hard to find extra teaching, like Thomas Aquinas, Catholic degrees were out there though. A lot off topic though.
Fr Emeliano taught roughly, It is a Catholic teaching that some practice the traditions, the sacraments, and others the Charisma. But this is a false teaching, not a Catholic teaching. We must practice a balance of the traditions and Charisma.
I have the audio tape of the sermon.
Fermat, cessationism is a false Protestant teaching, Catholic Charismatic Renewal and Catholics generally and Revivalists Evangelicals reject.
You can’t really say Catholics don’t solely rely on the priests, one’s that don’t best explain how the became exceptional.
