Cardinal Leon-Joseph Suenens issued this Lumen Vitae Publishers document, his theological and pastoral orientations on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, arising from the Malines conversations he convened. As a Catholic cardinal's own primary theological statement it is the correct source for this specific Catholic orientation toward the Charismatic Movement in his own words. Its limit is scope: it documents one influential churchman's own pastoral guidance for Catholics specifically, not a general history of the wider Pentecostal-Charismatic movement across Protestant denominations, so a claim about that broader movement needs a source with that wider scope.
