Catholicism Renewed: Power and Insight from the Charismatic Experience

Different, it's just different. Besides, it comes with a significant anomaly, at least in the United States. The difference is the perspective with which one sees and experiences the major elements of Christianity: faith, mission, Church, love of neighbor, Jesus and the Holy Spirit; in sum, the entire daily walk of a Christian life. This new perspective develops from involvement in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Note that popes St. Paul VI, St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis have all endorsed this "current of grace" as Pope Francis refers to it. The Renewal brings new light on seeking a personal relationship with Jesus, mission, discipleship, evangelization and, above all, reliance on the Holy Spirit. Both the Catholic Church and the lives of the people involved are greatly empowered and invigorated. Interestingly, and this is one reason this book is important, in terms of spiritual growth this current of grace flows two ways. The Renewal, while primarily experiential, leads to better understanding of key elements of Christian teaching. Alternately, better understanding of the teachings (the theology) removes barriers and opens paths to the experiential, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and direct awareness of God's presence This two-way dynamic is energizing and transforming the Church across Africa, South and Central America, and much of the rest of the world. However, and here is the anomaly, in the United States where it originated just over fifty years ago, it is hardly causing a ripple. While closely related Pentecostalism is significantly impacting American Protestant communities, the Catholic version lingers in relative obscurity. This, in spite of the fact that the Renewal draws people closer to the heart of the Church. In any case, both sides of this dynamic are important. Understanding Church teaching is important, as is the outpouring of the gifts of the Spirit; prophecy, healing, deliverance, tongues and the rest (1Corithians 12). It is also very good. St Paul calls the presence of the Holy Spirit the foretaste of heaven, and with good reason. That is what this book is about, both sides and the links between them.
