This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details were available on the "Education Program:University of Texas, Austin/History of Pentecostalism in the Americas (Spring 2015)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

Background:

The majority of Latin Americans are Catholics. About 84% of the people would say that they were raised Catholic, though only 69% of the population are Catholic today. The 15% decline is mostly due to the spread of Pentecostalism in Latin America.

Charismatic Catholic Renewal

Like Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Catholic Renewal began in the United States. This lay movement began in the 1960’s after inspiration of people converting to Pentecostalism and other Protestant denominations. This renewal is to re-emphasize the charisms of the Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians in the New Testament of the Bible.
