In the United States the [[Catholic Charismatic Renewal]] was led by individuals such as [[Kevin Ranaghan]] and others at the [[University of Notre Dame]] in [[Notre Dame, Indiana]]. [[Duquesne University]] in Pittsburgh, which was founded by the [[Holy Ghost Fathers|Congregation of the Holy Spirit]], a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] religious community, began hosting charismatic revivals in 1977.

In a foreword to a 1983 book by [[Leo Joseph Suenens|Léon Joseph Cardinal Suenens]], at that time the Pope's delegate to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, the then [[Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith]], Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later [[Pope Benedict XVI]]), comments on the Post Second Vatican Council period stating,
{{blockquote |At the heart of a world imbued with a rationalistic skepticism, a new experience of the Holy Spirit suddenly burst forth.  And, since then, that experience has assumed a breadth of a worldwide Renewal movement. What the New Testament tells us about the Charisms—which were seen as visible signs of the coming of the Spirit—is not just ancient history, over and done with, for it is once again becoming extremely topical.}}
and
{{blockquote |to those responsible for the ecclesiastical ministry—from parish priests to bishops—not to let the Renewal pass them by but to welcome it fully; and on the other (hand) ... to the members of the Renewal to cherish and maintain their link with the whole Church and with the Charisms of their pastors.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Suenens |first=Léon Joseph |title=Renewal and the Powers of Darkness (Malines document) |publisher=Darton, Longman & Todd |year=1983 |isbn=978-0-232-51591-6 |author-link=Leo Joseph Suenens}}</ref>}}

In the Catholic Church, the movement became particularly popular in the [[Filipino people|Filipino]], [[Brazilians]] and [[Hispanic]] communities of the United States; in the Philippines; and in [[Latin America]], mainly Brazil. Traveling priests and lay people associated with the movement often visit parishes and sing what are known as charismatic masses. It is thought to be the second-largest distinct sub-movement (some 120 million members) within global Catholicism, along with [[Traditional Catholicism]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Barrett |first=David |title=Christian World Communions: Five Overviews of Global Christianity, AD 1800–2025 |work=International Bulletin of Missionary Research |volume=33 |issue=1 |pages=25–32}}.</ref>

A difficulty is the tendency for many charismatic Catholics to take on what others in their church might consider sacramental language and assertions of the necessity of baptism in the Holy Spirit as a universal act. There is little to distinguish such baptism from the sacrament of [[Confirmation in the Catholic Church|confirmation]].<ref>{{Citation |last1=McDonnell |first1=Killian |title=Christian Initiation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit: Evidence from the First Eight Centuries |year=1994 |place=Collegeville, MN |publisher=Michael Glazier Books |last2=Montague |first2=George T}}.</ref> In this regard, a study seminar organized jointly in [[São Paulo]] by the [[Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity]] and the [[Bishops Conference]] of Brazil{{Which| date=December 2019}} raised these issues. Technically, among Catholics, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is neither the highest nor fullest manifestation of the Holy Spirit.{{vague|date=December 2019}}

Thus baptism of the Spirit is one experience among many within Christianity (as are the extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit in the lives of the saints, notably [[St. Francis of Assisi]] and [[St. Teresa of Avila]], who levitated). Because of this, Catholic Charismatics do not hold this experience as dogmatically as do Pentecostals.<ref>{{Citation |title=Study Seminar organized in Brazil |date=November 4, 2005 |work=L'Osservatore romano |page=4 |edition=Italian}}.</ref>

Possibly, [[Padre Pio]] (now St. Pio) provides a modern-day Catholic example of this experience. Describing his confirmation, when he was 12 years old, Padre Pio said that he "wept with consolation" whenever he thought of that day because "I remember what the Most Holy Spirit caused me to feel that day, a day unique and unforgettable in all my life! What sweet raptures the Comforter made me feel that day! At the thought of that day, I feel aflame from head to toe with a brilliant flame that burns, consumes, but gives no pain." In this experience, Padre Pio said he was made to feel God's "fullness and perfection." Thus a case can be made that he was "baptized by the Spirit" on his confirmation day in 1899. It was one spiritual experience among many that he would have.<ref>{{Citation |last=Ruffin |first=C Bernard |title=Padre Pio: The True Story |pages=312–13 |year=1991 |place=Huntington, IN |publisher=Our Sunday Visitor}}.</ref>

The ''Compendium to the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'' states:
{{Blockquote |160. What are Charisms? 799–801. Charisms are special gifts of the Holy Spirit which are bestowed on individuals for the good of others, the needs of the world, and in particular for the building up of the Church. The discernment of charisms is the responsibility of the [[Magisterium]].}}Recent popes (John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II and Francis) have all emphasised the importance of a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit for all Catholics, and have spoken encouragingly to the Catholic charismatic renewal organisation on many occasions. On June 8, 2019, Pope Francis encouraged everyone in Charismatic Renewal "to share baptism in the Holy Spirit with everyone in the Church."<ref>{{Cite web |title=To participants in the International Conference of Leaders of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service - Charis (8 June 2019) {{!}} Francis |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/june/documents/papa-francesco_20190608_charis.html |access-date=September 23, 2020 |website=www.vatican.va |archive-date=August 8, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808160948/https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/june/documents/papa-francesco_20190608_charis.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On June 6, 2019, the CHARIS (Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service) service was officially inaugurated by Pope Francis.
