VARGUEZ PASOS, Luis A.. Construyendo y reconstruyendo las fronteras de la tradición y la modernidad: La Iglesia católica y el Movimiento de Renovación Carismática en el Espíritu Santo. Convergencia [online]. 2008, vol.15, n.46, pp.195-224. ISSN 2448-5799.

The objective of this paper is to reflect on the Catholic Church's answer to modernity through the Movement of Charismatic Renewal in the Holy Ghost; appearing in the years following Vatican Council II, this movement is represented by the catholic hierarchy as a modernization sign of the Church. However, in the practice it is not more than a new form of preserving the ruling tradition in Catholicism. In this exercise I use the boundary category to point out that threshold which joins and not the limit which divides.
