In the hollow of the 50th anniversary of the charismatic renewal and the church’s current renewal of its dedication to Our Lady, the charismatic renewal of the Archdiocese of San Francisco meets for its 20th conference Sept. 23 at St. Mary’s Cathedral. “A Mighty Outpouring of the Holy Spirit,” a daylong event commencing at 8:30 a.m. and finishing with a 7 p.m. Mass, begins with a dedication of the conference to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The day also includes speakers, praise from local worship groups and a healing service. There is a $15 admission fee to help cover costs. On site meals are available for purchase.
“One of the strengths of the San Francisco renewal is its diversity and unity,” Deacon Ernie von Emster, a St. Carlos Parish, San Carlos, member and an officer of the renewal, told Catholic San Francisco. “Talks will be presented in Spanish, English and Vietnamese and the three communities come together in the liturgies.”
Catholic Charismatic Renewal celebrates in 2017 its golden jubilee of the launching of the project at a retreat of college students at Duquesne University in 1967. “The impact of the outpouring of the Spirit spread like wildfire throughout the United States and the world,” Deacon von Emster said. “Today over 200 million persons have experienced a baptism in the Holy Spirit.”

From Catholic San Francisco.
Either the Holy Spirit was asleep from AD 33 to
AD 1967, or this is a Protestant inspired movement
coming in the wake of Vatican II.
Father Richard T. Simon of St. Lambert’s Catholic Church
writes about the history of the Charismatic Movement in his
blog, “Reverend Know it All”.

A person who brags “What I don’t know I can always make up.” should never be used as a source of information.
Its is a joke Anonymous, not to be taken seriously. Read some of his articles. I believe you will find him more orthodox than you think. Of course I have not read all of them, nor do I know this priest. I do attend the Traditional Mass and the more reverent newer Masses, but sometimes it takes a person a while until their eyes are fully opened to the truth. For some it is a longer journey than for others.
Anonymous, you might start by reading one of his sermons entitled “Can We Show a Little Love for Humanae Vitae?’ and “Why Was St Paul Such a Chauvinists?” He seems to “hit the nail on the head” with those articles and sermons and many others too. You might also notice that the church’s website does not just say Mass times, but uses the term the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
I should add that he put a disclaimer on the latter article which says: “Everybody knows that St. Paul was a chauvinist — right? The Rev is not so sure”. I agree and have been defending St. Paul against that charge since I was a teenager.
Thank you for the link, Clinton. Fr. Simon seems to be very knowledgeable from the articles I read on there. Mother Meriam, the Jewish convert and founder of a Catholic women’s order was first brought into the Christian religion by the Protestant group Jews for Jesus, then her brother converted to the Catholic Church and she followed. As the saying goes, “The Lord works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.” Many people have marvelous stories such as these.
This is PURE Protestantism, I can’t believe ADULTS act this way it is simply childish and ghastly!! Bring back the TLM the TRUE MASS OF ALL TIMES! You would think they are still living in the 60’s and 70’s time to grow up already.
Romulus, as usual you cause me to take time to think about your comments. Again, I don’t understand your point. Here is what I “heard” you say: ADULTS should not pray to the “Third Person.” It is silly to dedicate their day to the Blessed Virgin. It is silly to want to praise God. There is only one way to pray to God, the TLM, Only Protestants pray with fervor. Did I hear you correctly, or were you trying to say something else?
Dream on, Romulus. The Novus Ordo is every bit as valid as the “TRUE MASS OF ALL TIMES”, as you choose to describe it. And millions of Catholics all over the world prefer the change. You’re fighting a losing battle—or hadn’t you noticed?
Neither you nor anyone else knows the future unless God has spoken directly to you. Romulus might be wrong, but he could be right. Quite frankly I think the newer Mass will end up far more reverent right along with the Traditional Mass as that is the way it seems to be headed, but none of us knows the future.
I am sure there will be and should be feasts for the newer saints of the Church, but what form that will take in the distant future I do not know, and I doubt anyone else does now.
I should add that I was referring to the form that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass would take, not everything Romulus said.
In the picture it looks like the spaceship has landed.
