The falsely so-called "Catholic Charismatic Renewal" has a long list of predecessors: Holy Shakers, Holy Quakers, Holy Rollers. And they themselves, the "Holy Dodgers"!
Yeehaw! Yippee! 55 years and going, for Dodgy Theology, for Dodging God and selling "Divine Brand Snake Oil"!

Obituary: Florence Dodge, Protestant who inspired "Catholic" charismatics. By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, March 25, 2004. See source.
«Florence Dodge, a Protestant prayer group leader who had a hidden role in igniting the "Catholic charismatic movement," will be remembered Sunday in an ecumenical memorial service at Mount St. Peter "Catholic" Church, New Kensington. Miss Dodge, 85, died Jan. 17 at Presbyterian SeniorCare in Oakmont. "Her home was like the stable in Bethlehem," said Patti Gallagher-Mansfield, who wrote a history of the Catholic charismatic movement, "As By a New Pentecost. It was kind of a hidden place and was like a cradle that gave birth to a movement." The movement began in Pittsburgh in 1967. The well-known story is that it began in 1967, among a group of Duquesne University students on retreat at the former Ark and Dove Center in Pine. But that revival might not have broken out if some theology teachers at Duquesne had not first attended a prayer meeting at Miss Dodge's home in Ross. Miss Dodge was raised in a devout Presbyterian home in Ben Avon. After high school she went to work for Kaufmann's Department Stores, eventually becoming responsible for the training of 5,000 employees. In 1962, possibly through contact with the nascent charismatic movement in the Episcopalian Church, she received what charismatics call "the baptism of the Holy Spirit," leading to a deeper spiritual life and manifestations such as speaking in tongues. She started a prayer group in the Ross townhouse she shared with her mother. Meanwhile, some theology professors and instructors at Duquesne were reading about the charismatic movement and asked an Episcopalian "priest" if he knew of any local groups. The priest had a parishioner who attended Miss Dodge's, Mansfield said. On Jan. 13, 1967, two Duquesne theology professors, a theology instructor and one of their wives went to her prayer group. It was customary for members of the prayer group to lay hands on those seeking "baptism in the Holy Spirit." But when one of the Catholic visitors requested it, Miss Dodge insisted that no human being touch them during the prayer. She understood that something important affecting the Catholic Church was about to take place and did not want any Protestant to be able to claim credit for having laid hands on the Catholics. "It was important to her that this be a sovereign act of God, and that they receive this gift directly from God," her nephew Christopher Dodge said. Those theologians were instrumental in the famous retreat that was held at the Ark and the Dove a short time later. In her later years she joined the Covenant Church of Pittsburgh, an independent charismatic church in Wilkinsburg. But she also attended the charismatic prayer meeting at Mount St. Peter, a "Catholic" parish close to her home. Mansfield, who heads the "Catholic" charismatic office of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, finds it fitting that Miss Dodge will be honored in a "Catholic" church. "This dear and saintly woman, while remaining true to her own denomination, was a beautiful servant to her "Catholic" brothers and sisters. She welcomed us like she welcomed Jesus," Mansfield said.»
Yikes! Yikes! Yikes!
INTERCESSORY PRAYER
Dear Saint Florence A. Dodge, Patron Saint of Lead-us-astray, we, your faithless "Catholic" devotees, disregarding the constant witness of the sempiternal orthodox Catholic Church that we must not participate in the liturgies of Heretics, pray that you intercede for us with your god Beelzebub, that by his blessings and grace, we may follow you in straying from the truth of Jesus Christ and again like you, lead souls astray, away, from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We make this prayer through St. John Calvin, your fellow damned, the Father of your errors. Amen!
All Catlicks going on Hajj to Potha and "Mount" Tabor Ashram, "Divine Retreat Centres," etc worldwide, please print out and set upon your home altars this photo of St Florence Dodge and this prayer card!
