Wieseltier on Tongues & the NYTimes | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: He misses it.  Prayer is about lifting oneself to God in order to find out God's will - not to bribe God into doing what he is going to do anyway.  This is why the Bishops call for fasting for all sorts of things political (like the current 40 Days for Life) is so wrong headed.  If they were praying correctly, they would seek guidance as to how THEY can change - not how Democrats in the pews can change.  Speaking in tongues with the interpretation of tongues - which is presumably inspired - IS actually more likely to hit the mark for following God's will - again assuming honesty rather than manipulation and wishful thinking.
