Abstract
The mission and ministry of the Word on Fire Institute and of Bishop Barron focus interesting questions regarding the ongoing connection between Catholic identity and charismatic influence. The present empirical enquiry, rooted in personality theory and the psychology of religious orientation, explored the profile of 490 participants attending an event in central London animated by Bishop Barron. Participants completed measures of Catholic orientation and charismatic orientation alongside the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales. The data demonstrated that the majority of participants were firmly rooted within the Catholic tradition, with a minority also rooted in the charismatic tradition. For these participants the two streams were complementary and mutually supportive. Charismatic predisposition was associated with emotional stability, with a preference for feeling (rather than thinking), and with a preference for perceiving (rather than judging). Attention is drawn to ways in which preferences for feeling and perceiving may be perceived by those who prefer thinking and judging.
