Nothing disparaging meant by that. That's just their style of worship.

I still don't know what you find theatrical in faith healings - Pentacostal services have time for people to speak and give their testimonies including about faith healing but I haven't seen faith healings at whim to be included in some kind of spectacle

A sort of cross between Catholicism and Pentacostalism, with speaking in tongues and faith healing and other theatrics. Adherents tend to be rather zealous and gung-ho.

Bloody hell, such people exist within the RCC?

I always thought Catholicism was somewhat of a bastion of sanity against those types.

I don't get where you are coming from. In a Pentacostal setting, faith healing is very much a spectacle and a performance. A form of stage magic.

@delphiandomine

There are quite a few of them, and they are quite visible. Don't know about Poland, but you'll find plenty of them in the States. Quite popular among Latin Americans, Koreans and Filipinos.

as I said I never witnessed that here in Poland - my experience with Pentacostals is limited though so maybe I simply have missed it

A BBBIIIIIIGGGG thing in Poland right now is Fr John Baptist Bashobora, a Ugandan Charismatic priest who has been putting on huge "Jesus in a Stadium" shows and claims not only to be a faith healer, but also to have resurrected dozens of people from the dead. He is a perfect example of the Pentacostal ideal of preacher as showman.

I'm as surprised as you that he was able to find such a large following among Polish Catholics, who I always thought of as a bit frumpy in terms of worship style.

in this vain Jesus was a showman himself cause he healed people publicly - I somehow understand your scepticism of such things as faith healing because even Jesus told there will be many who come and do great sings but are not of God eventually but true healers are there to give testimony of God and its power
