Could you imagine Thomas writing the Summas and Tantum Ergo today?!<BR/><BR/>I respect many in the tongues crowd (at least the people I've met) but I still have this feeling that some people have turned to tongues because there is something missing in other forms of sprituality. (which I guess is fine?) <BR/><BR/>Although spritiuality without strong theology seems to commit the same type of error.Joséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109568851771680519noreply@blogger.com
