Catholics to speak in tongues?

Post #1

Post by polonius »

As many are now aware an new movement is being introduced into the Catholic Church called the Catholic Alpha movement.

Among its unusual teachings is the gift of speaking in tongues which new members are encouraged to do.

For many of us, after being taught to speak Latin in Catholic high school, now do we have to learn another Catholic language? Fortunately this one only uses babble, not real words.

Have any readers acquired proficiency at speaking in tongues? :-s

Do you accept we as humans have a spiritual plane? It is often established in fasting when digestion and assimilation are at a standstill. Have you heard about those experiences?

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.
