Yes, I'll be sure not to follow your example.

So, from your post, you seem to be saying that the Great Apostle Paul was not a true man of God since he encouraged all Christians to follow him as he followed Christ. NOT!!!
NO WAY JOSE!!!
You are cherry-picking ....

"We're coming together in the unity of our faith, not the unity of our religious.." Pope Francis..
YEP! the emphasis of the video was the unity of the Spirit started with the outpouring of Holy Spirit at Azusa Street....I agree with KC in this video...
As for Pope Leo XIII and this nun being the catalyst for the outpouring,,,,who knows for sure...but it is a fact he gave this declaration that attention be given to Holy Spirit every year going forward...Other than believing all Catholics are unsaved heretics, it's not hard to phantom God using this young woman and the Pope to bring Catholics into prayer for a renewal....along with His use of a black man at a time when some believed blacks could not be saved....and a woman at a time when some believed women were to be inferior to men....

In the beginning years of the Charismatic movement in the 1960's and the 1970's, there were more Catholics receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues than any other denominational group.

And believe it or not there are Catholics who follow Christ and respect the ministry..I know Catholiism is filled with idolatry and false doctrine...but so are some denominations...salvation is not based on theological perfection but faith in Christ. Yes, the Holy Spirit leads us into truth and that is a part of the remise of KC in the video...as he noted Pope Francis stated that joining the Catholic Church was not the objective and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit moved through the Catholic church as it did through so many evangelical denominations...THAT is God's objective as Pope Francis and KC stated..to bring the body of Christ into unity of the SPIRIT, not unity of organizations.
Nikos, you seem to hold to division rather than the unity of the Spirit in the bond of love and peace...but the reality is the Kingdom of Go has many members from all races, all denominations, and even some Catholics and in that place of Spiritual unity God will move and pour out His next wave...
Those led by the Holy Spirit are positioned to be transformed and empowered...and they see no walls of division based on organization; only walls of deception from some within those organizations...including those in such strong Pentecostal organizations..
We are attending an APC church as the Spirit led us and we are Trinitarian and they are not..yet we are embraced in love and accepted as fellow believers and in that position ALONE can the walls of deception come down...the truth is we are not actually divided in belief...we are divided in rhetoric...
The bottom line is the Kingdom of God is one of spirit connection, not theological agreement and it cannot come into theological truth all round unless we accept that we are all in that same body with one head, Jesus Christ and one administrator, Holy Spirit...and all around that is noise and fluff intended to distract and divide...and interrupt the work of God in the earth...

By this we know there were Catholics praying along with others....what hindered this movement? Religious leaders of all affiliations ....trying to heard the sheep back into their prison folds of ignorance and submission to them...
I do not recall a huge resistance from the Catholic church...could be mistaken on that though...have not researched it...
