Read my comments. I am highly skeptical of Catholics receiving the Holy Ghost. Receiving the Holy Ghost goes hand in hand with understanding the doctrine of justification by faith alone, something that the Catholic church denies. I also hear of Mormons supposedly speaking in tongues by some euphoric experience and then remaining in the LDS church. Both cults see this "experience" their members are receiving as something that enhances their faith in their respective systems. Whereas the true Holy Ghost baptism is given to those who have abandoned faith in systems and have realized their spiritually destitute state.
