Report of the Fifth Phase of the International Dialogue Between Some Classical Pentecostal Churches and Leaders and the Catholic Church (1998-2006)



THE STATUS OF THIS REPORT


The Report published here is the work of the Catholic/Pentecostal International Dialogue between the Catholic Church and some Classical Pentecostal Churches and Leaders. It is a study document produced by the Dialogue members. The authorities who appointed the participants have allowed the Report to be published so that it may be widely discussed. It is not an authoritative declaration of either the Catholic Church or of any of the Pentecostal Churches involved in the Dialogue, who will both evaluate the document.

Found this paragraph interesting:

quote:


271.

In the course of our discussion, we have noted a fascinating parallel in the different ways our respective communities have experienced the Holy Spirit in the twentieth century.

Pentecostals report that on January 1, 1901 baptism in the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues broke through in Topeka, Kansas and spread in increasing measure.

In Rome, on that same day, Pope Leo XIII entrusted the new century to the Holy Spirit (Veni Sancte Spiritus).

Responding to prophetic requests from within the Catholic Church, Pope Leo had already written an Apostolic Exhortation in 1895 and an Encyclical in 1897 in which he called for devotion to the Holy Spirit and recommended the nine days before Pentecost as a novena of prayer for the Holy Spirit aimed at the renewal of the church and of society, the reunification of Christianity and a "renewal of the face of the earth".

That was just a coincident, pope's don't know anything about the moving of the Holy Ghost.
Look at the catholics Apostles creed, All it says about the Holy Ghost is,
"We believe the Holy Ghost",
Whats that suposed to mean??.

The Holy Ghost came because pentecostal people were praying for a revival..GET IT RIGHT.
