Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

'Pope Francis asked us to plan a jubilee that is as inclusive as possible.'

Pope Francis has encouraged inclusion since before he stepped into the papacy. Now, in a show of openness, the pontiff has invited Catholic charismatics, Pentecostals and Evangelicals to Rome.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Church is celebrating it's 50th Catholic charismatic renewal anniversary, and everyone is invited.

The celebration is set to take place June 4, with the Pope leading a prayer vigil the night before at Rome's Circus Maximus, which was once used for chariot races.


May 31 will kickoff Rome's Jubilee celebrations with a youth festival, theologian meetings and workshops, and prayer meetings, while the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS) presides.

"Pope Francis asked us to plan a jubilee that is as inclusive as possible," Michelle Moran, the president of ICCRS, explained, adding other Christians who emphasize the importance of baptism in the Holy Spirit are of particular interest.

In 2014, Pope Francis was not a fan for those who knelt onstage to pray for him or when they began speaking in tongues.

"In the early years of the charismatic renewal in Buenos Aires, I did not have much love for charismatics," the Pope admitted. "I said of them: They seem like a samba school."

Today, Pope Francis shares that the Charismatics have grown on him, particularly as he discovered the good they did for Catholics and the Church.
