 The Catholic Charismatic Renewal: Spring Or Winter?
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (hereafter referred to as the CCR) is a renewal movement within the Roman Catholic church that has as its ultimate goal a complete reformation of the Catholic Church by the dynamic of charismatic influence and the reestablishment of reunity with a similarly renewed Protestantism.
To the Roman Catholic, entrance into the CCR comes by participation in formation programs, such as the "Life In The Spirit" seminars which are structured as quasi-catechumenates that lead novices through a period of Scripture study, prayer, meditation, and teaching on the charismatic lifestyle as it is interpreted within a radically Catholic context.
Although we are not labelling the CCR as cultic whatsoever, the hard truth is that there have been high-profile incidences in which people supposedly "renewed" by the "charisms" of the Spirit of God instead sank into a tongue-speaking social circle whose cohesion relied upon the fear of man instead of the love of God.

 Charismatic Renewal :: Movements : RSS Feeds : Gourt
The charismatic movement began with the adoption of certain beliefs typical of those held by Pentecostal Christians —specifically what are known as the biblical charisms of Christianity: speaking in tongues, prophesying, etc.—by those within mainstream Protestant and Catholic churches.
Charismatic is an umbrella term used to describe those Christians who believe that the manifestations of the Holy Spirit seen in the first century Christian Church, such as healing, miracles and glossolalia, are available to contemporary Christians and ought to be experienced and practiced today.
Often confused with Pentecostalism (which it was inspired by), charismatic Christianity tends to differ in key aspects: most charismatics reject the preeminence given by Pentecostalism to glossolalia, reject what they consider to be legalism sometimes associated with Pentecostalism, and often stay in their existing denominations such as Roman Catholic Charismatics.
