What I didn't know ... what resources would help me learn about ...
The Catholic Charismatic movement, concentrated in Latin America but found all over the world, is one of the largest Pentecostal/Charismatic movements today (195 million worldwide).
Yes, my parish had a retired charismatic priest and the president of the state organization for charismatic Catholics as an active member, but I had no idea of the size of the movement. What charismatic Catholic resources are or should be available in Verbum?

Can't answer your question for you, but my mother (who was a very ecumenical conservative evangelical) was involved with a Catholic charismatic prayer group in our small city in western Massachusetts. She was also an honorary member of the local branch of Hadassah (a group for Jewish Zionist women). She spread her spiritual connections wide.

The Catholic charismatic prayer group sounds like a lot of fun. I was never in a prayer group but always prayed in private.

Whereas the ACELO churches to different extents all have the divine office a.k.a. liturgy of the hours. Office here literally means "work" and the concept is that the work of the church is corporate/communal prayer. This is a prime example of the church reacting to the arising of the idea of an individual at the time of the Reformation mentioned in another thread. It is also a great example of what appears to be a minor difference in practice being a reflective of a major difference in worldview. I had noticed the difference in the forums when there are prayer requests - most people respond in the singular, my natural response is to respond in the plural.
