Every charism is a response. The Church teaches it's a gift from and of the Spirit for our time. So it takes time to see why a charism exists. That's why it's not enough to be in and out of touch. And more than distant analysis, it's important to engage with those living a charism. See and experience their works. Judge the friendship and relationship that develops along with the writings and discourses they use. Like people, a Charism has a persona, it's alive. It changes and matures as it responds in time, and isn't always understood or agreeable. But that isn't a reason to dismiss it, but rather to engage. Lastly, experience also shows that the evangelical, traditional, liberal or conservative mold that we apply in America isn't so clear cut in experience and is too easy of a critique. And nobody calls it C&L. It's just CL.
