The Cult of the Holy Spirit

The Cult of the Holy Spirit (PortugueseCulto do Divino Espรญrito Santo), also known as the Cult of the Empire of the Holy Spirit (Culto do Impรฉrio do Divino Espรญrito Santo), is a religious sub-culture, inspired by Christian millenarian mystics, associated with Azorean Catholic identity, consisting of iconography, architecture, and religious practices that have continued in many communities of the archipelago as well as the broader Portuguese diaspora. Beyond the Azores, the Cult of the Holy Spirit is alive in parts of Brazil (where it was established three centuries ago) and pockets of Portuguese settlers in North America. The Cult of the Holy Spirit involves traditional rituals and religious celebrations of these faith communities.

In its original sense, “cult” referred to an accepted religious practice, in sharp contrast to the term’s modern, negative connotation.ย Devotionย to theย Holy Spiritย is part of classicalย Catholic dogmaย and is the inspiration of several Catholicย religious institutes,[1]ย including theย Spiritans, but what is considered here has peculiar characteristics of its own.

CONCLUSION

From what i read in Lisa’s book, their mother’s music was banned by the Church.
