The Catholic Charismatic Renewal is a controversial subject.
People find it interesting and yet disturbing.
They've often decided it's not for them, but are prepared to admit they don't really understand it. Others think it's just one of the new movements in the Church. Others think it's all about prayer meetings. Then there are those who immediately imagine strange people waving their hands in the air, babbling in tongues, parading their emotions in public, and adopting a super-spiritual way of speaking which makes very little sense to any normal person. In other words, a religious fanatic.
