Part 3: Clasping Hands What is the link between the Papacy and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? This installment hopes to provide some answers to this question. On a stage in a Los Angeles stadium on April 9, 2016, NAR Apostle Lou Engle warmly welcomed a delegation from Pope Francis before a packed crowd of ecstatic worshipers. The wet weather had not deterred the throng of 60,000 people who had gathered to commemorate the 110-year anniversary of the original Azusa Street Revival, recognized as the beginning of both the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. i The crowd eagerly welcomed the messengers of the Pope. Pope Francis’ delegates greeted the gathered masses in the name of the Catholic church, and especially the 100 million plus charismatic Catholics whose worship practice closely resembles those in the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements. Charismatic Catholicism has grown rapidly around the globe, and like its Pentecostal cousins, focuses on deep emotional experiences, uplifted hands during worship singing, speaking in tongues, and a personal relationship with Jesus. ii Vatican II encouraged ecumenism, formally declaring that “The restoration of unity among all Christians is one of the principal concerns of the Second Vatican Council.” iii After effusive mutual expressions of unity and forgiveness, the Pope’s delegate and Lou Engle kissed each other’s feet before the gathered masses and the world, proclaiming a holy moment ending the “the diabolical sin” of division between Catholics and Protestants. The papal delegates proclaimed, “Jesus doesn’t care about our differences [in doctrine]”, “we must fly united”. The exchanges can be seen starting at the 6 hour and 50 minute mark.
