I didn't know there's a word for it, but google defines glossolalia as:
"the phenomenon of (apparently) speaking in an unknown language, especially in religious worship. It is practiced especially by Pentecostal and charismatic Christians."
I have a feeling that the Democrats aren't fighting back as hard as I expected on the potential ACB nomination.
They have a plan to destroy her, and maybe glossolalia (aka speaking in tongues) will be their means of attack.
I can see Kamala asking her, "Do you believe that you have the Gift of Tongues?"
Answer: My religous beleifs are my own and you are perilously close to breaking the law against religious tests.
Isn’t she a Roman Catholic? RCs don’t do no speaking in tongues anymore than Andrew Sullivan does dumpster diving. Get a grip, people!
The gift of tongues is real and it’s a gift from the Holy Spirit.
Speaking I’m n tongues is just not Catholic thing.
Where are you getting this crap?
WHO are YOU?? A Catholic hater?? And what do you know about her?? I am a cradle Catholic and we DON’T SPEAK IN TONGUES!
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article VI
I would think that would make such a line of questioning off limits. It’s not the government’s place to judge religious practices.
IN tongues. Sheesh.
First off, what is your source for this? The woman has been vetted previously for other federal judgeships and this so-called issue never came up.
Your lame vanity is News/Activism?
She is Catholic, I read that a religious group she belongs to, called People of Praise, got its start among Catholic charismatics in the 1970s. The group is open to people of any denomination if they accept the Apostle’s Creed. They do emphasize various biblical gifts of the spirit. I don’t know how much importance they put on glossolalia, but if they are charismatics, I would assume it is practiced somewhat. I’m not judging any of that. Just reporting what I read. I don’t see why this would come up, or be allowed to come up, in questioning before the Senate.
She is a different sect of Catholicism.
It’s not a hill to die on but that won’t stop the dems from trying ANYTHING to block a Trump nominee.
You are flat wrong. They are called “Charismatic Catholics.”
To delve into religious convictions is the domain of the Spanish Inquisition, not of the US Congress.
Well said. You should see some of the atheist/secularists on Twit attacking her.
They can’t stop her anyway, and meanwhile Biden is running away with the Catholic vote and does not want to do anything to jeopardize that.
Indeed. And I would know :)
Is ACB a charismatic Catholic?
