Good Evening Fr. Abe,
Maitanong ko lang po. Against po ba kayo sa mga Catholic Charismatic groups? Kasi meron naman pong mga Pari at kahit Obispo ay Spiritual Director ng isang Catholic Charismatic group at member sila. Even some Priests are participating the Life in the Spirit Seminar of these charismatic groups. They also speak in Tongues and worship the Lord by raising their hands. Thank You and God Bless!

I already explained above that I AM NOT AGAINST THE CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT AND MUCH MORE SA CATHOLIC CHARISMATICS. No, no, no. I LOVE AND RESPECT THEM. I have mentioned that I recognize the holiness and great service to the Church of these movement and their members. THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS IN THE CHURCH.
I am simply explaining that there are some actions that they are doing that are IMITATED FROM THE PROTESTANTS. I am saying that we must not imitate the Protestants like in their disco type, rock and roll type worships and their gibberish speaking in tongues.
The real Speaking in Tongue is not gibberish. But singing hymns and beautiful songs to the Lord in meaningful words like the Psalms of David, the Magnificat of Mary, the Canticle of Zechariah, the Canticle of Simeon, the Song of Moses and Miriam, the Canticle of the Three Young Men, like the Songs of the Angels and Saints in Heaven recorded in Book of Revelation.
I have heard Catholic Charismatics doing it properly. They are singing: "ALLELUIA, PRAISE THE LORD....PURIHIN NATIN ANG PANGINOON. ALLELUIA...." Clear, understandable, joyful, Spirit-fill. HINDI YUNG PARANG NAGMUMUMOG NG MADUMING LAWAY SA UMAGA.
