what speaking in tongues is: an extraordinarily rare charismatic gift allowing the recipient to speak and preach in languages they never learned.

what modern ‘charismatics’ think speaking in tongues is: an audible keyboard smash.

I was at a Catholic retreat recently where the two main speakers were encouraging people to speak in tongues (the incomprehensible babble version) and I was a bit disappointed to see this misunderstanding encouraged. Thankfully most all the attendees were well-catechized enough (or at least too embarrassed) to accept the invitation to do so. I really don’t understand how or why that misinterpretation even took off but I would like to see it end in my lifetime.

Ah Yes…. My Worst Fear: charismatic Catholics
