Catholic Charismatic Renewal

On 25 December 1961, John XXIII convoked the Second Vatican Council with his apostolic constitution Humanae salutis, praying that God would show again the wonders of the newborn Church in Jerusalem “as by a new Pentecost”. Not six years later, in 1967, a group of students at Duquesne University in the United States prayed while on retreat for an infusion of the Holy Spirit that they might also experience the power of Pentecost. They received what they reported to be the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and out of the spiritual experiences of that retreat arose what would become an international movement known as the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. This movement, influenced by Pentecostalism, would develop its own embodied praxis of prayer that seeks a renewed encounter with the power of the Holy Spirit made manifest at Pentecost. This article analyzes the embodied prayer language of the Renewal by drawing from Louis-Marie Chauvet’s distinction between language as mediation (or, symbol) and language as tool (or, sign). It will use Chauvet’s distinction as a hermeneutic to flesh out the relationship between post-Vatican II charismatic prayer practices and their intended purpose of participating in the encounter of Pentecost.

Catholic Charismatic Renewal

A new set of Pentecostal renewal started in the early twentieth century leading to the proliferation of Pentecostal denominations, and renewal movements within the then existing denominations. The beginning of this Pentecostal renewal has often been linked with the Bethel Bible School, which was started by Charles Fox Parham, and amplified by William Joseph Seymour at Azusa Street, Los Angeles, in the US. This article brings another dimension of the renewal by demonstrating that, for the Catholic Charismatics the outbreak of the Holy Spirit in the early twentieth century was partly an answer to the prayer of Pope Leo XIII. In addition, the Catholic Charismatic advocates consider the Pentecostal experience, dubbed Duquesne Weekend, which led to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movements as the answer to the prayer of Pope John XXIII at the Second Vatican. The considerations of the Catholic Charismatics are presented apparently as an affirmation of the sovereignty of God over his Church and the world.

Karl Rahner (1904–84) played a significant role in broadening the emphases of Roman Catholic ecclesiology in the decades before the Second Vatican Council (1962–5). He contributed notably to the work of Vatican II itself, and was likewise prominent in promoting a positive reception of the council’s ecclesiology. Rahner viewed the church in relation to God’s self-communication in grace. For Rahner, the church was a sacramental reality, formed by grace to witness to Christ in the world. The church’s sacramental role encompassed all aspects of its life, including its structures and organs of authority, which could not be ends in themselves. Rahner combined a deep commitment to the mission of the church in the world with a clear-eyed view of the church’s need to be self-critical and to remain open to the movement of the Holy Spirit, especially in the promotion of unity.

O artigo apresenta a ética de liberdade proposta pelo Concílio Vaticano II para a Igreja e o mundo. Parte da afirmação: “Todos serão teodidatas”, ou seja, no íntimo da consciência todos os seres humanos abertos ao transcendente estarão unidos direta e imediatamente a Deus. Considera vários paradigmas éticos formulados pelo Concílio. No paradigma pneumatológico ressalta a centralidade da ação do Espírito Santo. A docilidade à Palavra e ao Espírito Santo constitui atitude fundamental para se viver em autenticidade da consciência e obediência à Igreja. No paradigma eclesiológico reflete sobre a Igreja Povo de Deus como comunhão no Espírito e do Espírito; como sacramento do Amor, dedica-se à amplidão e profundidade do Amor, o que é decisivo para o aggiornamento proposto por João XXIII. No paradigma antropológico, mostra a conquista da compreensão de unidade entre dignidade singular da pessoa e a imagem divina da tradição bíblica; sobressai-se o valor da liberdade e o dom da fé, que fundamenta a ética dos valores; esta integra e leva à perfeição a aspiração à liberdade e às liberdades.Abstract. The article presents the ethic of freedom proposed by the Second Vatican Council for the Church and the world. Part of the statement: “all will be teodidatas”, in other words, in the depths of consciousness every human being open to the transcendent will be united directly and immediately to God. Consider various ethical paradigms formulated by the Council. In the pneumatological paradigm the emphasis is on the centrality of the Holy Spirit. The docility to the Word and to the Holy Spirit is a fundamental attitude to live in authenticity of conscience and obedience to the Church. In the Ecclesiological paradigm the reflection on the Church, people of God, as communion in the Spirit and of the Spirit; as sacrament of Love, is dedicated to the breadth and depth of love, what is decisive for the “aggiornamento” proposed by John XXIII. In the anthropological paradigm, the conquest is revealed of the understanding of unity between singular dignity of the person and the divine image of biblical tradition; excels the value of freedom and the gift of faith, which is the basis of the ethical values; this integrates and brings to perfection the aspiration to freedom and freedoms.

Quod omnes tangit, ab omnibus tractari et approbari debent. (Cardinal Congar) The canonists have been developing the rule of law of Western Europe. After there had been much debate (Acts 15:7), they decided together with the Holy Spirit. The Apostolic Nuncio gave the permission for lay persons (including women) to participate at the Synod. Synod ’72 is a process involving seven synods of local Churches in Switzerland. As an instrument of “processing” Vatican II, Synod ’72 discussed implementation options like Ecclesiastical Offices of the local Church. (LG 33; Paul VI’s Ministeria quaedam; John Paul II’s Christifedles laici; c. 228 CIC 1983). The tradition of shared decision-making of the baptised was been activated.

Catholic Charismatic Renewal

The origins of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (hereafter, CCR) can be traced to Duquesne University (Pittsburgh, PA), in 1967, when two Catholics were baptised in the Holy Spirit. The movement soon spread to the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, IN), Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI) and the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI), all of which became centres of the expanding renewal. Here were the first organisational forms of the movement, such as the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Service Committee (CCRSC, later NSC), and several other organised attempts at outreach, such as the Notre Dame Conferences. This article analyses the initial Catholic charismatic experiences in Indiana and Michigan, the formation of the first charismatic communities and the immediate reaction of the ecclesiastical authorities. While the Catholic hierarchy initially distanced itself, this approach was later superseded by the legitimisation of the movement, which was achieved due to the work of a number of theologians who located the movement's religious practices within the tradition of the Church, to Cardinal Léon Joseph Suenens's work of mediation between the CCR and the Vatican and to Pope Paul VI's welcome offered to Catholic charismatics at the Grottaferrata Conference (Italy) in 1973.

This essay begins by emphasizing that the Church is the gathering into one of the children of God, dispersed by sin. The idea of communion is thus vital for an understanding of the Church, and this communion is particularly a work of the Holy Spirit. The Second Vatican Council reflected intently on the nature of the Church, incorporating biblical and patristic emphases, in the light of subsequent scholastic discussions and with a constant concern to enhance the unity to which Christ calls all Christians. The essay then considers historically the development of ecclesiology though the Second Vatican Council. It ends by considering the shifts in ecclesiological teaching embraced by Vatican II.

This chapter introduces the socio-cultural milieu of millennial-generation Catholic missionaries in the United States. It describes the twenty-first century college culture that missionaries know well and the Catholic subculture that surrounds FOCUS. Missionaries are also situated on a US Catholic landscape still wrestling with interpretations of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II, 1962–65). Demographically, these missionaries are predominantly white millennials and from the middle class. They are also “emerging adults” in the midst of a transition-filled stage of life. This introduction previews how missionaries’ prayer practices shape their Catholicism and concludes with a survey of the research methods used and the book’s historically informed ethnographic approach to Catholicism in the United States.

This article describes the meaning of conscience according to the definition presented by the Second Vatican Council in the light of Thomistic and Carmelite perspectives and explains the depth of this definition, in order to dispel misconceptions about the meaning of conscience that are widely circulated, and show its proper role in the edifice of moral theology. For this reason, this article elaborates on the harmonious correlation between the two dimensions of conscience, namely, synderesis and conscientia, as well as the harmonious correlation they have with the virtue of prudence which is perfected by the gift of counsel from the Holy Spirit. The pastoral aspect of this article is presented in the end by analyzing the importance of conscience revived by the Church as presented in the apostolic exhortation of Amoris Laetitia.

Every story has its beginning. Most stories have their end. An attempt at a synthetic analysis of the history of the beginning of the Charismatic Renewal in the Roman Catholic Church turns out to be confronted with a  certain initial reality: not only does this history not have a specific beginning, but it also has no end. It is a story that is still open. In celebrating its fiftieth birthday in the Roman Catholic Church recently (2017), a symbolic experience was taken as the original reference date. The receipt of charisms by members of a small group of American students on 18 February 1967, in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) in the United States, is a date and place that is in a sense only symbolic. Neither that moment nor that event exhausts the vast and much broader charismatic experience of the Holy Spirit in the Church, which can be seen in various and numerous moments in the history of the Church. This study efforts to explain this singular experience from the perspective of analysing the essential elements of the first structuring of the Charismatic Renewal in the Roman Catholic Church in the 20th century. The study is also an attempt at a synthetic look at the history, but also at its authors, including Ralph Martin, Steve Clark, Gerry Rauch, Veronica O'Brien, Cardinal Léon-Joseph Suenens and Pope Paul VI.
