I mentioned prior I had been married to a Christian woman. However, she is Charismatic (Nondenominational/Pentecostal), and I'm well aware it's nothing like the RCC.
In her church (and churches like it, we "had" to go to church even when on vacation) they constantly spoke of "getting the Holy Ghost", which, yes, had to be explained to me.
From what I was told, the RCC not only does not preach such a doctrine, but is "hostile" to it (not my term, which is why it is in quotations).
If this is the case (Google had mixed results, yes, I went there first), how so and why so? Is "speaking in tongues" actually considered "demonic possession"?
