By using his definition 36% of all catholics polled deemed themselves charismatic.

You may believe Barna's
technique was valid. Frankly, I don't agree that it was. But whether you do or not, the fact is, if his survey gives people the impression that "1/3 of the US is pentecostal or charismatic" as the title of this thread reads, then the
conclusions his poll leads people to is woefully inaccurate.
