Theology

The resurgence of interest in the Charismata, or Charismatic graces, in the last 40 years has given rise to differences of theological outlook arising from Catholic and Protestant sources. This text addresses those various topics and differences and is divided into three parts. The first part is a translation of Fr. Hagen’s authoritative text on the nature of the charismatic graces by Ryan Grant. The second part is the original Latin text of Fr. Hagen, which is provided here for the sake of scholars who wish to read the original text which is rare and hard to find. The third part is a chapter, originally from Fr. Ripperger’s work The Nature and Psychology of Diabolic Influence, which addresses other topics not addressed in Hagen’s work.
