Risktaker, your zeal for the charasmatic movement is to be applauded. I am from southern California and have also seen this movement rush through the Hispanic community. Being Mexican-American myself, I jumped on the band wagon and started to shout, move, and boogie for Christ. I did this in a Hispanic Pentecostal church. I am now Catholic after years of struggles and reading. Although I enjoyed the movement I also enjoy kneeling before the Eucharist without a peep near by. Just me and my Lord. The point being that both styles of worship are ok as long as you have the correct doctrines and sacraments to accompany it. Some Catholics like it quite and traditional, while others like the more social and verbal type.

In Christ
