Cardinal Ratzinger (of course, now Pope Benedict XVI) gives us an insightful view of the charismatic dimension of the Church. What I found most striking was his faith in the ongoing activity of the Holy Spirit and in how the Holy Spirit constantly surprises us and has surprises up his sleeve, so to speak (cf. p.54). Ratzinger thus warns against excessive bureaucratic planning in the Church that can quench the activity of the Holy Spirit (cf. pp. 20, 59, 73). As a conservative charismatic Catholic, I am also happy to see the future pope, in 1999, speaking quite warmly and favorably about the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (p. 68). Some other Catholic conservatives who consider themselves strong Ratzinger fans do not share the future pope's positive and irenic view of the charismatic renewal. They should take note in order to appreciate the whole of Ratzinger's thinking, without picking and choosing cafeteria style. It is also quite interesting to see how Ratzinger links the ecclesial movements and their emphasis on the universal Church with the primacy of the Pope. For Ratzinger, the movements aided and guided by the Pope constantly call the Church to be faithful to her universal apostolic and evangelistic mission in the world (cf. pp. 52-53).
