  I had 2 ex-colleagues who were from CHC. Never been pestered by them though.

  I believe the adults are more matured.
  
  or they have less motivation to convert a Catholic.

  Haha, please read the phrase from St. Francis again.
  
  He was basically saying that we are to preach primarily by our actions. Use words only if necessary.
  
  Anyway, you want us to evangelise you isit?

  Why would the issue of feeling 'high' be relevant?
  
  Pray tell, what do you mean by 'charismatic pastors'?

  nope. I mean you got to have something that makes you feel good, leaves a good impression and hopefully pulls them back next time.
  
  after hearing prince's message, I feel super good .. machiam liberated.
  
  after attending miracle rallies, I believe God is real and very much active.
  
  I never watch magic shows 'cos need tickets. cannot possibly ask me to treat myself right?
  
  while attending charismatic services, I feel 'high'; the experience is good. Pulls me back next time.
  
  may I ask .. what does the Catholics have to offer?

  Put in this manner, I would say that Catholics have nothing to offer.
  
  The Catholic Church expects Catholics to contribute during worship, and not to expect to be 'rewarded' with 'high' feelings or any such things. Worship is our proper duty towards the Almighty God, a reflection of our proper position as creatures who owe our salvation and very existence to His infinite mercy.
  
  If we get edified in the process, then that is an additional grace from God.

  and why are they still growing? this continues to amaze me.
  
  if you rate evangelism like a marketing programme, the RC would have fail big time.

  Don't like Hillsongs. Watered down songs, commercialised.
  
  I think we need to redefine the term evangelise?
