Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ only urge you to read this mail will not be teaching anyone but who wants to respond to certain false affarmazioni contained in your testimonianze.Io my name is Thomas, I am in charge of a community of Teramo (not the catechist, the two things are separate and confuse some of your email) My experience is the result of 11 years of Way Neocat. Someone might say then that my defense of the Way is the result of indoctrination.'s no denying that it is plausible so this my mail only to refute the miro of the things I have read on your site and what is objectively false and easily controllabili.Vi urge henceforth to publish this missive of mine at least as to demonstrate that your aim is the search for truth and not only removing the Cammino.Quello that I would assert is that if there are errors in the Way (and surely there are), they will soon be adjusted by our Holy Church Madra that very soon will allow the Statutes our cammino.Se ignored what are the Statutes is surprising to learn that they are the true recognition it is essential that the Church gives to movement thus cease to be such to enter definitively into the mystical body of Chiesa.Per instance are statutes that govern those who Franciscans, Dominicans etc. are orders ecclesiastici.Con this I mean to say my sympathy to all those who have had real problems created by the community and catechisti.I catechists are nothing more than men, and as such can be wrong and even molto.Questo not affect in any way the that is the Lord have inspired the Cammino.Ulteriore proof is the huge amount of vocations in the way the Holy Spirit suscita.Forse someone can claim that it is the Holy Spirit to accomplish this? Maybe someone can light-heartedly support which is the Devil to create new priests? Christ Himself in the Gospel rule it out. ("If a kingdom is divided against itself will not destroy perhaps? can Satan cast out Satan?) angustio not further your attention and proceed with only disprove things read in the emails sent to you who claim easily disproved lies
-It is alleged that the commitments are multiplied up to occupy the entire space of the individual's life. But is not that Christ should permeate every moment of our day? Then since the membership of each meeting is completely and forever spontaneous means that if your life becomes busy all the time is because you will find true life, eternal life , it's because something is supporting you and you spinge.Altrimenti who you oblige to leave everything.
-It is alleged that there are public confessions Nothing + falso.Il sacrament of confession is what it is and never ever someone is obliged to make public their peccati. Someone claiming this is a false
-Some say that the solutions of a person's life are just a marriage or sacerdozio.Niente of + false: there is one of the charisms + important of all: the itinerancy (leaving for a destination too far with the sole purpose of proclaiming the Gospel) not these are perhaps the only charisma covered by the Church? There are others? Check also the adult catechism
-Someone asserusce that if one spouse is not in the way he forces' "adept" to impose divorce fatto.Questa + liar is what you could argue as if the spouse has a brother out, and after years still do not approaches the Church catechists decide that it is preferable that you do not get + in the community for a couple of years to be alone next to your spouse.
-Someone speaks of the duty to give 10% of their salary for catechists itineranti.Ebbene he has never been on the road if you do not know or not to know that the term must not exist in the community, rather it is synonymous with Fariseismo.Nulla is dovuto.Il 10% is true is given, but each secretly putting in a collection bag what they want, often just nulla.Quel 10% of which we speak is an institution of the Church called decima.Anche Jews of 2000 praticavano.In years ago, the community of Christ the phrase "do not know what the right makes the left" is a dogma
-There is talk of an Easter preceded by two days of rigorous fasting (mandatory). Reply to this infamy even as it speaks for sola.Potete ask the brother who first encountered the lie to that claim
-There is talk of the Bacchic orgies agapi post-Easter and people who vomit for too cibo.Forse someone with the strength will be there until ingozzarli vomitino.Concludo here my mail col'asserire that the testimony titled "THE NETWORK SPIDER "was evidently written by q1ualcuno Way that has never set foot, and I really do not do a good service with many brothers who have approached Way after years in the sacraments and the Chiesa.Vi thank you in advance for a publication that I can hardly fare.Che to the Lord may enlighten you.

TERAMO
Dear brother in Christ Jesus,
and 'the first time in my life that I would give the "you" to someone who does not know, but I do (with respect) just because you wrote a letter naive and in good faith (so' I hope) me and you looked very young and inexperienced, as are my poor children and grandchildren, swallowed up in the sect that affects you and betray your good faith.
I thank you for your letter, not only embarrasses those who want to seek the truth, but it gives me the opportunity 'to clarify some things, and' readers of the site to which you wrote the opportunity 'to expose the serious lies they tell simple-minded like you!
I am the author of the autobiographical book "The Canvas of the Spider", my name is Augusto Faustini, I have 58 years, I am a chief administrative officer of a large company Roman public.
I am at your disposal, as well as to the persons who appoint, and available to those who want to sue me in civil or criminal, before the civil courts or ecclesiastical.
I walked into your organization in 1985, became Vice-Head of a Neo Catechumenal Community (my wife), I remained there four years, I have always followed the neo catechumenal life through my children (3), my wife, my daughters (3), my grandchildren (7), and various friends, so I have an experience of 17 years, against your 11, and so I know the difference between a simple "responsible", which is a performer orders of Catechists and controller of the simple followers, whereas the "TEACHER" is the powerful and authoritarian executive decision maker of all communities of the parish, which has the charism received directly from God, which makes him feel entitled to give orders to the parish priest and even to the Bishop.
We all know what are the statutes of your organization. They are the ones who rejected three times by the Vatican departments, they did remain illegal in the "Neo Catechumenal Way," both because it provides non-Catholic teachings, because it is organized as a secret sect implementing the mental conditioning.
You are right that the statutes are indispensable, and that 's why when Kiko tried to override the normal practice of Our Holy Mother Church, the Holy Father said that examinations of Vatican departments are "unavoidable obligations"! (Letter of the Holy Father to the President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, Cardinal Stafford, April 5, 2001).
I had a wife, three kids, a family, a nice house, a political career, a life.
The Neo Catechumenal Way took my marriage, the family, the house, he destroyed the whole life!
And I'm not the only one. Many others have completely abandoned the Catholic Church, because they mistakenly thought that really the "Way" was the new way of the Faith.
But I decided to give my testimony until 'I live, groped at least to save my children and grandchildren.
And do not tell me that errors should be downloaded on the shoulders of individual Catechists colpevolizzandoli, in order to fulfill the "method" of Kiko Arguello!
E 'instead of the method itself and that' obviously wrong. And 'the psychological enslavement that creates fundamentalism, like the one that forced my wife to drive me to my house just to stay in the "Way", while stuffing of the children and the grandchildren, the daughters and relatives!
You say that your organization is not totally takes over the life of the followers?
But you know that my children I can meet for lack of time?
But did you know that some grandchildren I have made them known?
You say you do not exist Confessions public! And what I had to do publicly for 4 years? And those who publicly ago my wife and my children do for 17 years? What are they? Spontaneous verbal outbursts?
You say that the followers are not forced to get married? It 'worse! My children have been forced to marry girls inside the Community. And who had known the girl out and 'been obliged to insert in the Community! Even the same "itinerancy" (a financial benefit of the organization) is carried out by priests must catechumenal neo or neo catechumenal couples!
You say that if a couple has a spouse in the organization and one that does not want to come out, the interior is sent by his spouse, to save your marriage! Why Spread these vile falsehood? I challenge you officially! I names.
Lawyer Franco Voltage (big Super Catechist Neo Catechumenal, dignity equal to the Bishops), officially promised me that, to save the marriage, would have convinced my wife to return to her husband. The lady made fanatical by your organization, did not obey, or the "bishop" Lawyer Franco voltage, or the Catechist (supreme leader of the Neo catechumenal the parish) Dr. Roberto Piermarini, let alone the true Bishop Clemente Riva.
The pastor at the time, Father Dominic Paiusco, the "Josephites of Murialdo", 27 April 1992, at 17, in the parish of St. Leonardo Murialdo, Via Pincherle, 144, Rome, impressed by the great faith that my wife had taught Kiko, I communicate 'officially, on behalf of the vertices Roman organization, which my wife and I had to stay for ever separated, as shown by S. In his First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 7, verses 12 to 15.
I precise that I was a believer, I attended the St. Mass, I got communion, I taught catechism to children (so I was really a catechist, although neo catechumenate), yet I was considered a pagan 'cause I criticized the Neo catechumenal!
My wife, assisted by older children and recommended by Super catechists, I took the keys of the house and I chased 'away from my home, because the Neo catechumenal had found Christ!
In this case, as always, the leaders of the new organization catechumenal lied! The family does not matter in your world.
I, my dear Thomas, tell you what I "tried on my flesh," not the talk of Kiko and Carmen. Do not excite me the banners performed before the Pope and I do not get the moving "offerings - salary" as some people are priests and bishops.
I, dear brother, Gianluca, I paid for 4 years 10% of my salary, my family for 17 years will pay it! The mental conditioning and 'so strong that it is not' necessary to speak explicitly of "duty" when you are at home Catechists and say, "you're late with the payment!" "The Lord is counting on your detachment from money!"
You remember the words of the Lord when he said: "I do not know the right that the left is doing.'s Right. But this is true for the ALMS, as a form of Charity. 'Not valid for large rents in the churches! Otherwise mistaken to Our Blessed Mother Church when requiring all parishes in the management of income and expenditure by a special Economic Council parish!
You are right when I dispute the assertion that say Easter 2 days of absolute fast! It 's true are 2 and a half days, from Thursday evening (at 22) to Sunday morning (6 am).
It 'a shame that literally want to keep it secret! I do this immoral fast to my loved ones, in absolute fanaticism, every year!
My first son, head of the community, a month ago, 'was abandoned by his wife because she could no longer live in hypocrisy Neo Catechumenal Way! Three years of marriage = three children to show off!
But tell me, when Kiko is going to sleep in his bed, in the princely villa stands the Castelli Romani, if he does the examination of conscience?
I really feel like the Lord has enlightened you write a letter in which allowed me to clarify necessary to clarify fully the danger for the Church and for society 'civil to your organization.
Do not worry if your Maxi Catechist scold you for writing to us. They're always so ', because they will not ever lead to confrontational situations. And then you can say that you were wrong, because you are a sinner, and the "Way" can do no wrong.
If you, like many others who have been with you for many years, you will find the strength to free them from the yoke, know that in the Church there is always true that you will love, as Christ has taught us.
May the Lord enlighten you.

Neocatechumenal
Testimony of a lived experience
by Mr. Augusto Faustini
We invite the reader to read, prior to this, the presentation of the Neocatechumenal made on this site with Article
"Neocatechumenal Way - WHO I AM - WHAT THEIR" BELIEVE "- what to think"
Underlining, bold colors and are generally present.
I am 53 years old, upper middle culture, work as a civil servant in a public agency. I had a wife, three sons, now have 28, 27 and 19 years. I had a nice house to "Montagnola" doing politics, I was adviser to the 3rd District office, collaborated in various initiatives parish. I had a boundless faith in the Catholic Church, the communion often did. The experience changed me radically neo catechumenal life: I have nothing!
What I will say is deliberately detailed, because in that way you will not deny it.
Twelve years ago, in 1985, I went with the whole family in a "Neo Catechumenal communities" that istallò Garbatella, thanks to some so-called "catechists" from Viale Marconi, in the south of Rome. Their maximum area manager was and is Dr. Roberto Piermarini, journalist for Vatican Radio. After my story neo catechumenal community is gone from Garbatella, reimpiantandosi at the mother community, in the area of Viale Marconi.
The "catechists" hiding of being members of a particular organization and, above all, hiding that began, for the present, a commitment that would last at least twenty years, began a bombardment of pseudo-Protestant concepts that became immediately apparent to the ears of one as I had done in the Church many learning experiences, such as Catholic Action, catechetical instruction, "cursillos of Christianity," etc..
Despite these "out of tune" I was confident because my pastor (who later became bishop in the same year), giving them home, legitimized and guaranteed their work.
I was magnetized by catechizing them, their certainties, because they gave the impression that everything that happened was not previously prepared at the table and, above all, that this was the only way to be authentic Christians.
My wife and I have always been "open" to life, in addition to three sons, there were two other pregnancies, due to blood incompatibility Rh factor, resulted in miscarriages and the doctors have said clearly that further attempts would only product miscarriages.
Well, despite this and despite the five pregnancies, the fanaticism of Heads-makers to make decisions that was crazy and irresponsible to my wife, without even consulting with her husband! ... We were destined to become an "abortion mill"!
Left me surprised and concerned about the continuing statements of the leaders of the organization always designed to ensure that they enjoy the full support of the Pope! [...] I remember the nervousness and embarrassment that could be read on their faces when I proposed, for example, to pray as the Pope (kneeling), while they even forbade it!
[...] In the three years I attended the Neo Catechumenate I realized the persuasive power of their leaders and the fact that the concept of the family has little to do with the traditional Christian family, they implement a single large family of about 40 / 50 people is guided by the "Cape-family-Catechist", planning torque does not exist and in its place is a design approach that (through the pyramidal structure) is directly inspired by its founder (Kiko Arguello)!
In those years, I realized that their leaders were able to monopolize the private life of individuals, with the proliferation of the commitments of the group, with the natural increase of friendships between members of the group, especially with the psychological control due to " public confessions, "in" resonance "and" Speed of experience. "
Almost to fear mysterious future dangers, since the first meetings, it was taught that we should have a closer look by anyone who wanted to say something different from what the 'responsible' taught us, that the Catholic Church itself there are many who hate them, and the reason is just what "they" are the real and authentic rediscoverers the Christianity of the first centuries. They taught us that many would immediately felt the desire to give up that experience, but that no one would have had to leave behind their convenience, because outside of "they" there can only be "destruction" and unhappiness.
Taking advantage of the difficulties in our era objectively exists for the creation and maintenance of friendships, forcing novices to hang out very often for engaging and numerous meetings, make spend years without real friendships outside. By showing their experience as the only thing in the world that matters, do not try to force their followers, as more interest in culture, art, sports, politics or whatever. Everything is secondary!
Their "capital charge" sneak in just neophytes suspect that the Catholics who go to Mass "normal" Christians are second-class, and then clearly state calling them "Christians on Sunday."
He came, slowly, forced to get rid of all the affections, meaning that those loved ones that you can not drag in the Community, and 'lose BETTER!
A unique requirement, how unjust is what he sees require all or double solution (controlled by the movement) or the consecration of priest or religious, tax (and therein lies the singular) by the Heads of: Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez bachelor, former nun, now single!
When, over the years, the adepts become a fixed group to granite, come to impose the "endogamy" (obligation to get married inside the group), and then to say explicitly: "married the daughters of Israel."
When a young man engaged to a girl, outside, or a girl with a young man outside, do not have peace until they also force the outside to enter their ... "Experience."
If they can not in the way, then the internal force them to abandon their ... heaven, but only after psychological agony, because in the meantime they believe that only the Neocatechumenal there may be real, authentic Christianity!
For those who are married is the same thing, but when one of the spouses has been returned fanatically slave of their organization (which happens more often than not), are also coming to them to live separate lives (divorce of fact) if the other spouse does not appreciate the "community"!
I never liked the Neo Catechumenal Way and if you've been in for years I did it just to try to save the marriage, however, was destroyed because of the follies of "the way"! One day my wife said to me, honestly, "My and your two religions are very different," Then I tried to pretend that my wife had actually adhered to another religion, and tried to get by with all due respect, but when I realized that returning in the evening tired from work all had left, some to the "Liturgy of the Word," for those who prepare the meetings, those who prepare for the songs, as the diversified meetings of the various communities to which they belonged, I could not even hide more to myself dining alone like a dog, who had managed to destroy the family community from the deep!
Despite pride themselves to be Catholics, when it comes to create a conflict between attendance at their meetings and participation in the celebration of any sacrament, they always impose the superiority of their participation in the organization! Not to mention when the competition is with study commitments, or social, artistic, sports, love, politics or "hated culture"! Catechists are telling us that they are "idols"!
I thought, in front of the sacredness and indissolubility of marriage, they recommended a dubious spouse always choose to save the marriage, before any dilemma, but no! One of their most powerful leaders, that Mr. Franco Voltaggio, after promising to me and many bishops, who, to save any marriage would have gladly sent home by their spouses too, shall we say, "enthusiastic", proved that they are liars also in my case! ...
It 'exactly what happened to the writer, when my wife had to choose: either attend a parish without groups Neocatechumenal with her husband, or a parish groups Neocatechumenal but without her husband, she preferred her husband and kicked out of home separate, with the moral and material support of the leaders Neocatechumenal! On 27 April 1992 at 17, in the Church of S. Leonardo Murialdo, former S. Tito, in Via Pincherle, a side street of Viale Marconi, south of Rome, the then parish priest in charge, Father Dominic Paiusco, he ordered me to live the rest of my days away from my home, my children and my wife because, with my opposition to the Neo Catechumenal organization, I had been against the Catholic Church! The decision was made by the highest "catechists" of the diocese of Rome and was irrevocable!
I mentioned that my Bishop and his industry, had asked him to do the opposite, but he said he only obeyed his conscience (in fact obeyed the top of the organization!).
I went to my protest to the bishop of the area, but he said that the leaders neo catechumenal not listened to him, he could not help it ..., I went to the bishop, my former pastor at Garbatella, but he told me that it was better that iniziassi a result of legal separation, whereas my wife could not, because she was ... neo catechumenate, I went to my new pastor, recently became too 'he bishop, but he said that no one would listen to me, because I would have all was nuts, the N. C. are too powerful ... I was one of the few who pointed out the negative things ..., I went to the chaplain of the Public I work for, but he told me that I was a lone voice ... I had to adjust me ..., I went to the bishop in charge to family issues, but he, after saying that the situation was more serious than I thought, I also said that the public would never objected to anything the N. C.!
I asked many times to my wife to come and live with me, even officially, by letters dated May 18 '92, August 29, '92 and 24 May '93, but she has always refused!
My wife had to undergo a surgery in the hospital, I offered to stand with for the night, this would have been possible, and the same as my wife seemed to favor: his brothers and sisters in the community prevented me, they wanted to keep them, to avoid my proximity in a moment of its particular vulnerability!
Attending the 'community', we were forced to pay at least 10% of what came into the house, and this money, instead of going to the poor, went to the so-called "itinerant catechists" because going around the 'Europe to broaden their organization, not lack anything from clothing to cars, from home to beby sitter.
I remember that when I was kicked out of the house, the first time, I had to sleep in the car!
One of the most dramatic moments was when my mother died and I asked my wife to pray crying that night with me, leaving me alone with my pain, she said she had to pray with his brethren of the community, who were his real family in Christ! Another dramatic moment: my first child, found my aversion to "neo catechumenate," and considering that, according to him, the organization is an offshoot of Christ, tried to kill by suffocation.
Both the first and the second son called me more "father" to punish me for having always and at all costs hindered their organization!
The second son, still very young, already has two daughters, is used as a generator of new neo catechumenal and I did not even know the second granddaughter, critics of the neo catechumenal organization has no rights!
A much fanaticism that leads this organization instills in the mind of many people, creating many "fundamentalists" pseudocattolici that very little different from much deprecated "Islamic fundamentalists"!
I recently learned that my first child is considered an element loyal and reliable has been named "Manager of the Community '!
I remember with horror the Easters that I experienced myself in those years! Two days of absolute fast and rigorous, mandatory and imbued with fanaticism, which was followed by a full night of singing deeper isolation from the True Community, one of the parish. All followed by an "agape" (lunch) at six in the morning, with wine and his stomach suddenly received huge amounts of food, some felt sick, others get drunk. Then we went to sleep the whole day of Easter, not even half an hour to spend with family and friends not neo catechumenal! ... and the parish community grew to believe that we we hit the heights of sublime asceticism!
Among other things, I remember very clearly that in their relentless teachings had a key role in this: "Only God is to be truly loved! (Which [God] means to their organization)! If your spouse will be a hindrance, ODIALO, and do the same if anyone else wants to separate you from us, including children, siblings and parents included "!
I thought mine was an extreme case, perhaps a rare case ... but no, what has happened to me has happened to many other people! Many couples have had the marriage ruined forever by this strange organization, which sometimes gives the impression of looking like a "CULT"!
The emotional and psychological intimacy, and the design, are the cornerstones upon which any couple's relationship, but for decades, these are exercised by strangers to the couple! Imagine the destructive effects that stem from it!
The difference with the other couples are spoiled only by the fact that these have gone missing, as they have completely abandoned Christianity because, after years of attendance, one tends to identify the "Neo Catechumenate Way" with "Christianity ". Dismissing one, you lose the other! That is why my might seem an unusual case! Other couples "treated" by the neo catechumenal are precipitated in atheism and the Church is not a trace!
And to think that when I was teaching catechism to the children of Garbatella said, "the Church, in order to defend the indissolubility of marriage only, preferred to suffer the Anglican schism!"
[...] When I was kicked out of the house, I left the organization and started to investigate the structure and found that, while they want to give everyone the impression of being spontaneous and innocuous groups, guided only by the Spirit of God, are organized as a "Church within the Church"! They have the 'responsible' of each community, the leaders responsible (called "catechists") of complex communities of every parish where there are (that count much more than the pastor!), The department heads (which count a lot more of Bishops industry!), regional and national structures that overlap secretly to the structures of the Church's official!
I found that the Neocatechumenal (without anything transpire outside the ecclesiastical circles) are clearly contrasted environments more culturally engaged, both part of the Church more "progressive" than from the more 'traditional'.
Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli of Florence, Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini of Turin, Cardinal Salvatore Pappalardo, former archbishop of Palermo, the Bishop of Brescia Bruno Foresti, the Bishop of Ivrea Bettazzi Archbishop, the bishops of Novara, Trieste, the bishop of Foligno Bishop Bertoldo, Perugia, and many others, have highlighted the danger of this organization.
Bishop Cesare Pagani, bishop of Perugia, in 1988, died of a heart attack after a lively discussion with the leaders of that organization, rather than reflect on their own fanaticism, preferred to speak of divine punishment!
In January last in 1996, in England, in Clifton, Catholic Bishop Mervyn Alexander, has launched an investigation against the Neo Catechumenate, which, when it ended, banned in the organization to recruit new members in the diocese!
The Assistant National "Catholic Action," Archbishop Agostino Superb, Bishop of Puglia, along with all the other 19 bishops of Apulia, sent in December last year, the priests of a pastoral region (all the bishops agreed, without exception ), in which he argues that the Neo Catechumenal Way "puts at risk the communion in the Catholic Church" (see p. 36 of the monthly "Jesus" of February!)
In Vicenza have created many problems! I knew for a fact that, near Florence, for a time the parish was split, thanks to the neo catechumenal we must also attend to the painful small schisms?
As a young man I studied a little of theology and catechism, I was manager of the "Catholic Action," prepared for First Communion or Confirmation, many young people, so I can easily see that the main reason why this organization is hated the most progressive of the Church, is that the neo catechumenal betray completely all openings council of a social nature, all attempts to achieve in the world "theology of justice," all the Church's interest for the poor and the marginalized, all the conditions of democratization in the Church!
In contrast, the more traditional part of the Church, the one that has most at heart the preservation of Catholic doctrine, which has enabled the Church to remain integral along two thousand years of history, do not escape the serious heresies of the teachings, which, even more serious , are written in the catechism neocatechumenal, that I have been able to read and that is kept strictly secret even to the simple neo catechumenal without specific charges! Only the first volume (Orientations to teams) consists of 373 pages well! They have always denied the existence!
Lutheran teachings have penetrated abundantly in the new catechism catechumenal:
faith (fanaticism) allows us to completely undo the sins!
The works do not count!
The free interpretation of Holy Scripture provides the only form of morality!
The true priest is "the sum of the faithful", the priest is only a priest who "presides"!
The sacrifices, fasts, promises to God, pilgrimages, are all useless!
The S. Rosario is discredited and marginalized!
The Eucharistic Sacrifice is denied,
Transubstantiation is reduced to the symbol!
The Ministerial Priesthood deleted! (This is Lutheranism, not Catholicism!).
"The man can not do good because it is separated from God, because he sinned and was radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The Evil One is to his Lord. "
(This is Jansenism, not Catholicism!).
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle,
for them the presence of the body of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
According to my modest personal memories, the first successful priest who sounded the alarm about the dangers of neo catechumenal was Father Virginio Rotondi, who seguitissimi articles in the newspaper "TIME" that denounced the "chosen people" persists in not wanting to recognize God speaks to us not only through the Holy Scriptures, but also through the teachings of the Church, and again, the scriptures should not be cloaked in an aura of "magic"!
Then other priests saw the danger of N. C.; remember above all the great theologian Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli, who wrote numerous books and other evidence of careful theological study, among which is interesting what is called "the Magisterium of the Pope and the Catechism of Kiko ... comparison ", which speaks volumes about the lack of catholicity of that organization!
Even the most progressive of the Church, especially in England, through the work of many bishops, took a stand against this movement, and finally, a shocking book told with clarity and courage what hides behind the "harmless" leaders of the Neocatechumenal " Armies of the Pope "by Gordon Urquhart - Ed Ponte alle Grazie, Florence, £ .38.000, readily available in each library.
Neocatechumenal Lutheran heresies:
Faith allows us to completely undo the sins!
The works do not count!
The free interpretation of Holy Scripture provides the only form of morality!
The true priest is "the sum of the faithful", the priest is only a priest who "presides"!
The sacrifices, fasts, promises to God, pilgrimages, are all useless!
The S. Rosario is discredited and marginalized!
The Eucharistic Sacrifice is denied,
Transubstantiation is reduced to the symbol!
The Ministerial Priesthood deleted!
Neocatechumenal Jansenist heresies:
The man can not do good because it is separated from God, because he sinned and was radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The Evil One is to his Lord
Other heresies Neocatechumenal:
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle,
the presence of the body of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
See a listing more complete in the article mentioned in the introduction
With the obsessive and relentless concepts that so-called "catechists" neo catechumenal repeated continuously, you get a transformation of the individual personality that comes to a real brainwashing. Everything becomes normal, the release of the "tithe," practically a bribe of 10% of family income (even the poorest), the provision of assets and property!
This explains the economic conditioning that sometimes dulls the will of the priests who have taken this organization and also explains the multiplication of the number of special seminars and exclusive of neo catechumenal (28) that create many Catholic priests who have very little and obeying more the leaders of the organization that the Bishops!
With a strategy that is similar to that carried out by Freemasonry, organized a timely occupation of the focal points and decision-making tools of mass communication, which can speed up the development of their organization (some journalists of Radio Vatican, like Dr. Roberto Piermarini, the director of Radio Maria, some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, etc..). Until the early meetings are taught that marriage, the family, work, children, possessions, are "idols" that are hated. Kiko, his catechists teach ago: "The family is a myth when it becomes terrible religion. Christianity must destroy it "(Then hold the first place the 'Community'!).
It is taught: If the wife is in love with her husband, or the husband is in love with his wife, he created an idol! .... Then you have to learn to hate him!
In the "ballots" insist on the fact that the parent-child bond is broken, that they are offered to the community (children of the Community), and the children are "idols" and also suffer a lot by seeing the love "human" and "neurotic" parents! (Kiko is convinced that the parents are all "neurotic" because they did not want their children!).
Those poor boys, then, completely sucked in "road", they are deprived of all the main things of youth: external friendships, fun, exploration of the thought of today, freedom, contemporary culture, opportunities to think and choose for themselves! The political, social, charitable and even those are, for them, a waste of time.
The twenty years of "path" is a machine that creates Christians in series. The changes take place at specific times, before or after, the 'action of grace does not exist, with its improvised. Faith comes only at the last moment (renewal of baptismal vows), not before.
With arcane rituals and secret knowledge, the Neocatechumenate recalls the cunning of the oldest "Gnosticism" and the more modern "Freemasonry." It 'sa cheap mysticism that describes the meeting with the movement as the most important fact since the coming of Christ!
During the time that I spent in the interior of this religious experience, remember that the past was always painted as completely negative, empty, hopeless, inconclusive, ... up to 'encounter with the neo Catechumenals, lighting solution to all problems!
Who does not adapt to this collective vision obligatory, pitied, because he has not yet met Christ! The other hand, submitting to the authority of the Movement and renouncing their own personality, their own desires, their ideas, are "cultivated" and "built" to assume more and more responsibility!
Anticipating that someone could open their eyes and to rebel against the "brainwashing" do not fail to warn followers: "If your father, your mother, your husband, will doubt the goodness and holiness of the Neo Catechumenal, then it will be the devil to speak them, do not listen! "!
Before long, even the way they talk, the linguistic terms, the movements of the body and arms, the look, everything is approved in the Neocatechumenal Way and the outside world begins a state of perpetual misunderstanding.
Here are some highlighted characters Neocatechumenal occupants vevralgici and decision points:
some journalists of Radio Vatican, like Dr. Roberto Piermarini, the director of Radio Maria, some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, etc..
Living in the Community, there is aware of the existence of structures that orchestrate everything, even emotions! Slowly, everything that is outside the Community loses value, loses interest! The long and tiring night liturgies, sapping the body and mind, you weaken to the point that everything you is imposed by the managers believe it blindly! The effect of numbness of mind is part of the indoctrination process. Do you feel stupid and drunk, you are convinced that your life is just there, and that will never be anywhere else in the future.
As other people have the same sensations, the 'responsible' convince you that this shows the strong presence of the Spirit of God! It remains so convinced that when you're in other environments, you are so vulnerable that you run the risk you down! You can not do without that organization, you are bound for life to those people, that and only that is your real family!
The secret haunts you: you can not ask questions about what is to come, we can not reveal any details of the "path" to outsiders and even to members of the lower level, must not leak anything that happens inside! The Chiefs, his eyes haunted, they just say that in the next "steps" (periodic) may access a greater proximity to the wonders of God, the important thing is to trust the "path" (for them!) And not to thank be "Christians on Sunday"!
Lead you to live life within the precincts of the 'organization, almost as if the outside were the source of infection. Even outside interests, culture, education, politics, art, philosophy, even the priests and bishops not Neocatechumenal can defile and get away from what has become a prison, and you did not notice. Since the first ballot are ready to reproach you continually put your signature on the "book of life" (the Bible of the "community") and therefore you can not "betray" ... "Jesus (through them) went this time for you, you may not spend more! Jesus is acting through "catechists". " They can also affect the minds more free and open!
Fear, guilt and dependence on 'Community' are huge! To lock the joints trying to frighten the members, playing on their fear of being "rejected" by the "community". Implementing the psychological terrorism.
It 's very important to be able to cancel the self-esteem of members and the triumph of the idea that only the "Neocatechumenate" may be beneficial, leading to a complete dependence.
The two-year pre-catechumenate are tough: raggiranti mystifications develop between threats and promises of new amazing revelation: "Tonight the" Church "will give you the Glorious Cross." Intimidated and subjected the poor shall not be able to get out of the "community" if only because it establishes an indissoluble bond with that group of people who knows the secrets and hidden fears, through the "public confessions"!
Some compete in recounting the misfortunes that have befallen those who have strayed from the "Way" or just thought of it!
Each "community" is convinced that he received from God the task of saving the Catholic Church who is dying and salvation can be found only amongst neo catechumenal! On the contrary: even, slowly, begin to use the term as a synonym for the whole of the Community Church neo catechumenal! Any practicing Catholic does not belong to the movement is pitied and labeled as: bigot, "Collotorto 'or even pay! The normal Christianity is worthless!
They, however, do not want to be defined (even as a movement), because they want to look more and more like 'all true Christians are on their way "! Just like the Jehovah's Witnesses say about themselves: "We are those of the Truth, we are not an organization!"
The neologisms and jargon of neo Catechumenals, using the technique of brainwashing, leading members to accept new ideas without any guarantee of reliability! The particular language creates a sense of dependency and blind obedience, as well as successful exclusive membership to an elite group!
To convince you that the only real family is the community neo catechumenate, they adopt the terms "brother" and "sister" to recognize each member; abandons the term priest to priest, you "shoot" words like "Kerygma", "Koinonia" , "Kenosis" existential, ontological, servant of Yahweh, the glorious cross, to boast of having God always in your pocket and make an impression on the simple people!
In parishes without one face case, the neo catechumenal occupy a kind of "exclusive" to the interpretations of Scripture, teaching the catechism to the communicants and confirmands, hymns and liturgy Easter! They come to oust those opposite, to replace the other associations. The priest no longer has control of the situation. In the rare cases in which the priest manages to avert this organization does not know how soundly replace it, after much uproar and fanaticism exasperated.
The techniques of suggestion are used to train those who, as a couple will be in search of people, into their homes, to bring it to the first catechesis said, reciting a memorized speech, full of enthusiasm and forcibly, in an altered voice and sure, they give you the change in the spots.
A serious international organization, who has studied religious sects in the world (FAIR) has observed: "Cults use sophisticated techniques that cause the destruction of the ego, the modification of thought and psychological dependence. The seven members can keep in a state of heightened suggestibility through lack of sleep, fasting or special powers, spiritual exercises, the constant indoctrination and group experiences subsidiaries'!
The "public confessions" are the most classic and proven technique that is used to cement together the members of a "community" and to control them in the depths of the soul.
In the "cohabitation" which takes place in some "weekend" community members are subjected to a control (the so-called "space of experience") and a psychological pressure that is surpassed only by the "ballots" (terrible exams which lay leaders inquisiscono the soul of the poor "brothers", as they have the authority to establish the level of growth in the faith)!
Sometimes used psychological tricks, such as "total darkness" (the so-called "skylight") combined with long silences, they get an overwhelming impact on the poor stressed minds. All things prepared and prepared and meticulously ominously from their "holy" Kiko Arguello, in the secret book, "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the conversion phase" (which runs only in photocopy). In this book, Kiko has a detailed rituals designed. While critical of the members weakens, increasing by 'catechists' demands complete obedience and irrational!
By controlling the environment, handling personnel in the rarefied atmosphere, the public confessions, the exchange of experiences and supervised the use of slang exclusive movement, managers have full control of every individual, even managing to influence his desires future. On the other hand it is known that restricting the vocabulary used, are reduced to the same extent the ability to think and feel.
The transformation of the image that everyone has of himself is facilitated by review of all the events previously experienced. "Before" the whole of life was ugly, after meeting with the newly Catechumenals, life is light, there is someone else telling me what to do!
The destruction of the individual, is not a goal that much hidden by the Heads neo Catechumenals, since obviously they say, "you must die to yourself, destroy yourself"! Then you just have nothing to do but to depend in all the movement and life of his triumphs, his struggles, his collections of money, and his friends are your, his enemies are yours! You no longer have roots, everything else has so little!
You learn not to react to the wrongs that you are made, thus creating an alibi to ensure the compliance of States and the dependence of the Heads!
Anything that can be the object of emotional attachment or love sweet and clear (from their books to her husband, from their pastime at his watch, his own career) is required to be hated and branded as "idol", as if to , jealousy, eliminate competitors to the "community."
The enhancement of the individual resources (imagination, creativity, etc..) That are encouraged in Catholic associations worthy, are repressed among new catechumenal.
On the occasion of the new catechesis bombard any friend or relative with the classic phrase, borrowed from the Jehovah's Witnesses, "Come and meet our friends, come and see, then ... understand, no one can understand it, if you do not live. " And with this alibi to prevent anyone outside their organization from making the slightest objection. "You can not be judged" (they also shouted in the face of bishops who are allowed to object to something!). Any dialogue with the leaders of this organization is almost impossible! To those who, like me, instead, tried their "wonders" prevent also to express it ... I was only a few years because they are an extreme case, because I've never met Christ! ... And terminate any dialogue always saying, "We will pray for you," Which is to say: "You do not understand anything and we are always right!" Their 'responsible' can only preach, they can not hear! The Neo Catechumenal Way is totally identified with God!
Of course, when I saw that the decisions of heads neo catechumenal destroying my family were not effectively fought by my new parish priest (later he became Bishop) and my bishop in the sector, even though I respect enormously, almost do not consider myself more of a Catholic, but the faith in me I can not delete it.
It must be considered that, even if more than half of the five auxiliary bishops of Rome have reservations about the "catechumenate", they are afraid to make it explicit to avoid displeasing to the Pope and not to show off from the Church for the differences. But I'm sure pray that the Neo Catechumenate melts as soon as possible, as a whole convent of nuns in southern Italy does every night. (I find it personally). But always remember that the Church needs the "brother Christopher," not of "don Abbondio"! ... Otherwise, this organization will become more powerful!.
They even, unctuously, to make confirm, after preparing a whole new catechumenal with ceremony in the movement, the children of married guys who are still oriented in a different manner on the goodness of the "path", so the guys are already "booked" and push in even the recalcitrant spouse! (How could oppose a father to a Catholic sacrament anyway?). And so do the baptism.
Members are kept in a state of submission by the constant repetition of the message of sin and corruption, in twenty years. Being able to magnify their state of sin is essential to move forward. It implements the annihilation of personality!
Grace does not exist! Everyone feels so sinful that become fully-ployees by their leaders hope for salvation! The 'man can not sin, then you do not feel re-sponsible!
Some concepts are repeated beyond belief: "If you are not in THIS word, you are lost, because outside of it there is only death"!
"I completely rid them from slavery in Egypt. Begin your journey with a community, you receive the coming Messiah to free, look to him and he will guide you "(referring to the" catechumenate "!). "It happens that some leave the path (neocatecumenale), abandon Moses (Kiko), and the Pharaoh attacks them and destroys them"!
I have heard from some of their leaders, with the prolific forced and irresponsible, they calculated that in the decades may come to take possession of the Church, and some dare ... World!
The fanatical fundamentalism that characterizes them, such as the Islamic, was clearly rejected by Jesus when he said, acknowledging the 'existence of the secular dimension of man: "Come to God what is God's, you give to Caesar what is Caesar's »!
The "way" of these "community" grows in a crescendo of depletion of individual personalities, heresies, disrupted families, parishes swept through phases that last two or three years: Shema, prayer, Traditio symbol, symbol Redditio , Our Father, Election, renewal of baptismal promises!
Like all sectarian organizations, including the newly catechumenal considered as traitors those who drop out, and then holds them up to those who remain, as the quintessence of the devil, creating fear and submission larger. The strong sense of group identity, of 'the other hand, blows up powerful feelings of guilt in those who would like to get away, because they taught that those who leave the "neo catechumenal," let God! You can leave those who know the most intimate secrets? You can once again become mere "Sunday Christian"? Very often those who manage to escape, remain always with the desire to return to the organization that made them dependent and insecure, are no longer able to live an independent life! ... And to think that their claim to form Christians ADULTS! On the other hand the life of a common parish seems less beautiful (even if it's true) after the crash and the triumphalism of Neo catechumenal! I wonder which church we pass on to our children? With this in mind, what will happen in the next few years?
In many occasions assured the bishops that, in the event of refusal by a spouse of the methodology of the way neo catechumenate, they sent home the other; LIE! KNOWING TO LIE! Many families have been destroyed, not just mine! When making psychologically dependent on a wife, when they cut ties with the outside world, when they put their hands over their children, when the 'have surrounded solidarity when they took advantage of his ignorance in matters of religion to inculcate heresies, when they did losing the true Catholic faith, how do you go back to your husband? What solidarity I had I? To see priests and bishops tremble just to hear the name of the newly catechumenal?
I had a wife and three children, I have nothing, the first two children do not even consider me their father, the third, drunk by the neo Catechumenals, without realizing it, let languish and impoverish any inner dialogue with his father: his heart opens only in the "community", where the "Catechist" has taken the place of his father and also gives safety, driving, listening, comprehension, listening to his "errors" and tells him, what to do! That is why, not funded by anyone, do what I do!
In the face of so great a danger, I think it is the duty of each work so that the so-called "Neo Catechumenal Way" to melt before the damage is irreparable, even for others!
I know personally that, in general distrust towards all institutions, including the Church, when events occur as severe as those narrated, families and parish priests close in pain and in private, without protest. The best thing to do is the opposite: send a letter of protest to Cardinal Camillo Ruini, Vicar of Rome, Piazza S. John, 6 - 00184 ROME.
If new facts will not happen positive, with measures Church, over time it will become necessary to make informed about these things, the world outside the Church from secular newspapers to radio, TV, the Associations of Psychotherapy, which could diminish the moral character of Catholic Church, and this is the reason why so far has refrained from doing so, but there is also a danger for civil society should not be underestimated! Civil society also has the right to know the 'existence of these dangers!
For the moment I tried to set up a spontaneous association that collects laity and priests who have experienced first hand the damage that can result in an organization such as one called "Neo Catechumenal way." Many bishops, even if they see the initiative with interest, do not feel to intervene with official support since the Neo Catechumenate has no official recognition (so much so that its leaders have recently gathered on Mount Sinai, just to draft a the future status!).
As Christians, we certainly ought to love our enemies and persecutors and pray for them (which I try to always do against NC), but we also have a duty to report to anyone, even to the Holy Father, the errors of such large proportions that come to destroy the family, harm to the Church, creating problems for civil society!

THE FABRIC OF THE SPIDER Plagiarism psychological Sect Catholic said:
"WAY NEO catechumenal"
There are prisons that have the bars, solid bars that are seen and that can be sawn.
There are prisons that have invisible barriers that can not be grasped and shook with anger, smiling while you say, "But you are free, and open the door ... open, you can leave"
(Claude Buffet)
Today it seems that it has become so demanding and tiring to think that you prefer to use simplifications, siding without having covered a genuine path of knowledge and discernment, ie you prefer not to listen to each other but to reinforce its position and defend it at all costs.
This short paper is intended just to give voice "to the other bell" and fruit and, for the most part, on personal experience, lived in the Neocatechumenal Way and, in part, will refer to has heard from other people who were in the Way for longer me.
I make these reflections without velleity. I acknowledge that I do not have a proper psychological preparation, but also want to make public this reality that the evidence, to me, seemed the result of a technique of 'brainwashing' able to depersonalize, implementation against many ordinary people who in good faith have undertaken this 'Way' to rediscover their faith or simply to deepen the content.
Too many theological errors have to define 'non-Catholic', but 'heretic' this sect. I just mention them, leaving the worthy priests and theologians who have dealt with the investigation of this subject. (See bibliography at the end)
I want my writing to come not only to ecclesiastical hierarchies responsible, but above all the ordinary faithful.
Many of the techniques of plagiarism used in this sect, are also used in other secret societies, both inside and outside Christianity. (E 'surprising resemblance to the manipulative techniques of the Sect of Moon, the one that ensnared the Archbishop Milingo). While, however, the seven recognized as highly dangerous (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, or the satanic sects) because you can defend the Church and civil society to help and inform, by this sect, which thrives within the Catholic Church, no one can defend, because work in a subtle and ambiguous situation on which there is no information. Many priests, while strongly opposed, they avoid talking about it because they fear of tarnishing the Church. But I believe that the Church must purify and get rid of those who offer themselves as super apostles but that actually take advantage of people simple and available, rich idealities, hoping to strengthen this 'Way' that supposedly blessed by God
I dedicate these reflections with love to my grandchildren, but already many who still call me grandfather to their parents, who once called me dad, young people thirsting for true ideals, hoping to save them from the seven and those who are already in the 'Way 'in the hope that open their eyes and recognize the "Canvas spider" which have fallen and from which have been completely enmeshed and entangled.
We all believe that those who have their feet firmly on the ground, intelligence, and who has a good culture (perhaps graduate) can not ever end up in a secret religious sect. Nothing more wrong! No one can be considered completely safe from plagiarism and psychological brainwashing, always possible because:
• In the course of life all through periods of greater vulnerability due to losses, serious illness, severe grief or lack of landmarks ideals;
• Everyone needs to feel understood, accepted, loved, attending environments that facilitate this;
• Heads scientifically organize the life of the sect. Cut off all relations with the outside world to miss the intellectual debate, so who attends them not she misses the slow and constant changes that slowly envelop the adept in an invisible "Canvas Spider";
• When there is a continuous and vital relationship with the outside world, it lacks the intellectual parts of sap. This facilitates the numbness of the brain even in the most intelligent people. In fact, if a fly lands on a picture, he can not ever see the whole picture on which it is placed. To show good will have to "come out" and need to get away from the painting itself. So happens to those who enter into a sect will ever not objectively assess the environment that surrounds it, as long as it does not take up his freedom of judgment. Only then will be able to deal with others who are still outside his reality and objectively assess the reality that is living. But to do what it takes humility, honesty of thought and a good dose of courage!
The 'Neocatechumenal Communities' arise after a 'Announcement' in the parish. Lay people present themselves to the priest and asked to organize the parish catechesis for adults. I 'catechists' begin their bombardment with an authentic catechesis concepts of pseudo-Protestant, without telling the audience that they are part of a certain organization and, above all, without telling them that is starting a commitment of at least twenty years. Despite numerous "out of tune" (which the most educated in the Church's teaching experience) are usually all to hear, confident and reassured by the presence of the parish priest who acts as a guarantor of security and that it is still of a 'proposal' Catholic.
All are magnetized as their catechizing, and their certainties. Give the impression that everything that happens is pre-prepared at the table and, above all, that that is the only way of being authentic Christians.
The continuous and alarming statements of catechists give rise to a slight sense of surprise, but they always make sure to enjoy the unconditional support of the Pope only a few discover that the Catholic Church has ever officially approved, even though they are always trying to hide it, deceiving with false claims.
As in all religious sects, at the appropriate time, a cracker what psychologists call the 'Love Bomb', the love bomb by artificially creating a joyful moment of silence that gives the impression of a state of friendship , harmony and love. This situation (often prepared with the help of fasting programmed, followed by the recruitment of sweets and wine) creates an atmosphere that would be concrete proof that it is of a privileged group of God is, however, of 'a technique of "hooking" to engage and retain the neophyte. (Remarks by Prof. Mastronardi, owner of Forensic Psychopathology at the University 'La Sapienza' of Rome).
Over the years, those attending the CN is aware of the persuasive power of the leaders and how the concept of the family is together very different from that of the classical Christian family. Movement is accomplished in a single large family of 40/50 people who are guided by a householder: the Catechist. The planning torque disappears. In its place is taken that the planning (through the pyramidal structure) is directly inspired by the founder (Kiko Arguello)!
Even those who are striving to preserve their independent judgment, he realizes that the heads completely monopolize the private life of individuals through the commitments of the group (increasingly frequent) and with the natural increase of friendships between members of the group and with psychological control exercised through the "public confessions", the "resonances" and so-called "revolutions of experience." In these three stages and is forced to tell (even in the most intimate detail) all the secrets of his soul and all the sins committed in the past. These intimate secrets must be externalised in front of the whole Community to become, well, like a sword of Damocles that will prevent them forever, to leave the group.
The Heads responsible for the Community and especially the Catechist responsible for all of the Parish Community, want to know, even in the most gory details, the details of individual problems, in order to have "in hand" the psyche of the victim, replacing, in fact , the confessor or spiritual father. All this happens without there being an obligation of the seal of the confessional, because they are not priests, but the laity.
Since the early meetings trying to convince people that their organization and perfect and directly inspired by God, so who is allowed even in the slightest criticism of their methods, is considered a demon or a "pharaoh". When someone (even priest or bishop) moves objections to the organization, each member must treat it as a personal enemy. Since the early meetings, almost fearing mysterious future hazards, it is taught:
- "Us" we have a closer look by anyone who wants to tell us something other than that
"Managers" teach;
- That the Catholic Church itself there are many who "we" hate, and that reason only, and that
"We" are the real and authentic rediscoverers the Christianity of the first centuries;
- That in the future many feel the desire to leave that experience, but that no one will have the convenience to leave "our" environment, because outside of "we" can only be
"Perdition" and unhappiness.
Some take my courage in both hands and run away from this experience, but very often
"Repent of having repented" because no longer have the ability to live an independent life.
Taking advantage of the real difficulties in our time hinder the formation and maintenance of friendships, forcing newcomers dating only each other, they are involved in numerous meetings, so that for years have no other real friendships outside. They believe that this, and the only thing that matters in the world and, slowly, they induce their followers not to try more
interest in culture, art, sports, politics, etc.. Everything becomes secondary!
From the beginning, the "responsible leaders" creep into neophytes suspect that the Catholics who go to Mass "normal" Christians are second-class, and clearly state calling them "Christians
Sunday. "
Gradually invite you to get rid of all the affections, to induce them to believe that their loved ones,
if you can not drag them into the Community, and lose BETTER!
Obligation singular (how unfair) and require all or double solution (controlled by
Movement) or the priest or religious consecration (set by the Catechists and ultimately by Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez bachelor, a former nun, maiden!).
Over the years, the adepts become a fixed set, granite, capable of imposing the obligation to marry inside the group ("Inbreeding"), saying explicitly: "married the daughters of Israel."
Who gets engaged to a girl or a boy outside the sect, not left in peace until it will force the other / a to enter their movement.
Those who can not aim above will be forced to abandon the "Neo Catechumenate paradise", but with terrible psychological sufferings, because in the meantime will have been convinced that only with catechumenal there may be the true, authentic Christianity!
Same goes for those who are married. When one of the spouses has been made fanatically slave of their organization (which happens more often than not), go so far as to make them live a separate life (divorce of fact) if the other spouse does not appreciate the "community" : and and and just what happened to the writer.
On 27 April 1992 at 17, in the Church of S. Leonardo Murialdo, former S. Tito, in Via Pincherle, a side street of Viale Marconi, south of Rome, the then parish priest in charge, Father Dominic Paiusco, ordered me to live the rest of my days away from my home, my children and my wife because, with my opposition to the Neo Catechumenal organization, I had been against the Catholic Church! The decision was made by the highest "catechists" of the diocese of Rome and was irrevocable! I mentioned that my Bishop and his industry, had asked him to do the opposite, but he said he only obeyed his conscience (in fact obeyed the top of the organization!).
No one had the courage to oppose such a decision: he wife, nor children, nor Riva Bishop, the Bishop of Industry!
I tried to maintain their independence of judgment and I realized that the members of my family, which was previously united with time were involved in multiple engagements differentiated according to the various "communities". Returning in the evening tired from work I realized that all had emerged: those for the 'Liturgy of the Word', for those who prepare the meetings, those who prepare for the songs, while having dinner just like a dog, I realized more and more every day that had destroyed our community deeply familiar.
They boast of being a Catholic, but when there is conflict between attendance at their meetings, and participating in some sacrament they are always prevail superiority of participation in their meetings! Even discuss, then, when the alternative and study commitments, commitments or social, artistic, sports, love, politics or "hated culture"! According to the Catechists all these commitments are 'idols'!
I thought, in front of the sacredness and indissolubility of marriage, the spouse would have recommended doubtful always choose to save the marriage, before any dilemma. But no! One of the most powerful leaders in the NC, the lawyer. Franco Voltaggio, after promising to several bishops to save a marriage would have gladly sent home by their spouses too "excited", later on, gave clear proof that what he said was false.
Who attends the Way, after the 'second step' must pay at least 10% of each entry. This money, instead of going to the poor, goes to the so-called 'itinerant catechists', that going around Europe and the world to spread their organization, should not be missing anything, from clothing to cars, from home to baby Child. These itinerant catechists, people are pushed to resign from their jobs in order to live from that moment the sole responsibility of the sect, for life, with the whole family, without having to miss them nothing, in foreign countries, fully expensed.
(Who writes this brochure was forced, when he was driven from his home, to sleep in the car while he thought on luxury enjoyed by Itinerant catechists!)
The dramatic moments of life are dealt with dull fanaticism! And I happened on the occasion of the death of my mother, 1/10/92, to ask my wife to no avail NC to pray together. But his answer was: "I just pray with my brothers of the community, which are my only true family in Christ." Their fanaticism leads them to affirm and believe that this organization is really a direct emanation of Christ himself.
Personal testimony: Noting that the first of my children listened absolutely me, his father, and his father claiming the right to be heard at least, I felt reply: "Why, sometimes not even listen to the catechists, who demand that the father plays ? ", demonstrating the role has been replaced and the power of the absolute power of Catechists!
The newlyweds are pushed (with the excuse of openness to life) to a prolific excessive and irresponsible. Come to make new children for silly exhibitionism, more than driven by genuine love. There are families of 8, 10, 12 children.
If, despite the commitments that occupy the totality of time and mental manipulation drive, some think for themselves and dare to raise some doubt, some criticism, some the amending proposal, then it is blamed and accused of "slander."
The terrible accusation of gossip is discussed in the "space of experience", is charged to the poor "brother", then it must be open to public confession in the "community", and the victim is terrorized by threats of not being able to overcome the "ballot" next ! All in the ultimate goal of destroying the individual intelligence, planning, self-esteem, critical sense of a human being that the true Catholic Church taught us' being, the soul, "in the image of God"!
When you are talking about for years and years, almost exclusively with the same group of people in uniform choices fundamentalist, and they tell you that you're wrong, you convince yourself to make mistakes immediately, without first thoroughly examine your thoughts and motivations that generated .
Who has not lived this experience, he can not conceive of the enormous fanaticism that infuses the soul of this organization recruits, creating many 'fundamentalists' pseudocattolici, so similar to the deprecated 'Islamic fundamentalists'.
Certainly the violent methods of Islamic fundamentalists are in no way comparable to those of neo Catechumenals, but the result of ruining the great monotheistic religions and the same, and the danger to civil society and certainly the same. The unreasonable determination, mental rigidity, fanaticism, obstinacy, are the same Islamic fanatics.
For example, the fanatical fundamentalist Afghans today, followers of the terrorist Bin Laden, these same children who years ago were "trained" by Pakistan in the refugee camps from the study of only "Koran" without any secular vision, secular culture, secular dimension.
The fanatical fundamentalism was clearly rejected by Jesus when he said, acknowledging the existence of the secular dimension of man: "Give to God what belongs to God and, by and to Caesar what Caesar"!
I remember with horror the Pasque lived in those years, preceded by two days of rigorous fasting, mandatory and absolute, all imbued with fanaticism, culminating with a whole night of singing, totally isolated from the Community parish should be the Community of all. At six in the morning there was a "agape" (a room) with abundant food and wine in quantities. Some came to get drunk, others to have vomiting due to stomach suddenly filled with huge amounts of food. Then he slept through the day of Easter, without being able to spend even half an hour celebrating with family and friends not NC! Parish community to believe that we were in that night touched the most sublime heights of asceticism!
Among the many teachings proclaimed in a pounding, those were more insistently repeated: "God alone is to be truly loved (where 'God' meant their organization)! "If you and your spouse off the hook, odialo! Do the same with anyone else who wants to separate you from us, children, siblings and parents included. " Many couples have had the marriage ruined forever by this strange organization, which more properly should be called "CULT"!
The emotional and psychological intimacy, and the design must be the cornerstones on which to base any relationship. For decades, however, and everything lived and treated by people outside the couple themselves! Everyone will be able to imagine the destructive effects it may arise!
Most couples are ruined. Those who become aware of reality, emerging from this disastrous experience, but having reached the conclusion that the CN and the true expression of Christianity, many come to lose faith forever, and of them, the Church loses track completely.
Catechists NC say that the members are millions! But no one has ever calculated that the escapees are ten times as much, and how much suffering: often no more faith!
When investigating their structure it turns out that, while they want to give everyone the impression of being spontaneous and innocuous groups, guided only by the Spirit of God, are organized as 'Church in the Church'! They have 'managers' of each community, the leaders of the community in respect of all of the parishes where there are: the 'catechists' (which count for a lot more of the pastor!) Industry leaders (who count much of Bishops !) regional and national structures that secretly overlap the structures of the Church's official!
I discovered that the NC (without anything transpire outside the ecclesiastical circles) are opposed by bishops committed culturally, and 'progressive', that 'traditionalists'.
Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli of Florence, Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini of Turin, Cardinal Salvatore Pappalardo of Palermo, the Bishop of Brescia Bruno Foresti, the Bishop of Ivrea Bettazzi Bishop, the Bishops of Novara Trieste, Foligno, Perugia, and many others, have highlighted the dangerousness of this organization.
When in 1988 Bishop Cesare Pagani, bishop of Perugia, died of a heart attack after a heated discussion with the leaders of this movement, they, rather than reflect on their own fanaticism, dared to speak of divine punishment!
In January 1996, in England, in Clifton, Catholic Bishop Mervyn Alexander, has launched an investigation on the Way NC. And when this investigation has run ended, banned from NC to recruit new members in the diocese!
The Assistant National "Catholic Action", Archbishop Agostino Superb, Bishop of Puglia, along with 19 other bishops of the region (all agree, no exceptions), sent in December of '96, the priests of the region in a pastoral alleging that the CN "threatens the communion in the Catholic Church" (see monthly "Jesus", February 1997, p. 36).
In Vicenza have created many problems! I knew for a fact that in Scandicci, near Florence, for a time a parish and split because of NC. Why should we attend to other small painful schisms?
It's not hard to see that the main reason why this organization and disliked the most progressive part of the Church lies in the fact that the NC completely betray all openings council of a social nature, all attempts to achieve in the world "theology of justice" , all the Church's interest for the poor and the marginalized, all the conditions of democratization in the Church! Betray the Second Vatican Council.
In contrast, the most traditional part of the Church (the one that has most at heart the preservation of sound doctrine and has enabled the Church to remain integral along the two thousand years of history) do not escape the serious heresies of the teachings, which are written in the catechism NC, which is kept strictly secret even to the simple followers without specific charges! Only the first volume (Orientations to the teams of catechists for the conversion phase) consists of no less than 373 pages, but the officials have always denied the existence!
Lutheran teachings have penetrated abundantly in the catechism NC: faith (fanaticism) allows us to completely undo the sins! The works do not count! The free interpretation of Holy Scripture provides the only form of morality! The true priest and "all the faithful," the priest and only a priest who "presides"! The sacrifices, fasts, promises to God, pilgrimages, are all useless! The S. Rosario and discredited and marginalized!
The Eucharistic Sacrifice and denied, and the Transubstantiation and reduced to a symbol! The Ministerial Priesthood deleted! All this and Lutheranism, Catholicism no!
"Man can not do good because you and separated from God, because he has sinned and has remained radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The Devil and his Lord. "This Jansenism, not Catholicism!
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle for them the presence of the body of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
According to my modest personal memories, the first successful priest launch the alarm about the dangerousness of the NC was Father Virginio Rotondi, who seguitissimi articles in the newspaper "The Time" which denounced the "chosen people" continue to not want to acknowledge that God speaks to us not only through the Holy Scriptures, but also through the teachings of the Church, and again, the scriptures should not be shrouded in an aura of "magic"!
Other priests, then, they realized the dangerousness of NC. I remember the first great theologian Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli, who wrote numerous books and other evidence of theological study accurately. His studies were continued by Bishop Gino Conti, brilliant polemicist and courageous pastor Pescara Don Elio Marighetto.
Even the most progressive of the Church, especially in England, through the work of many bishops, took a stand against this movement, and finally, a shocking book told with clarity and courage what is hidden behind the 'safe' leaders of the Neocatechumenal " Armies of the Pope "by Gordon Urquhart - Ed Ponte alle Grazie. Florence £ 38,000, easily available in each library.
With the concepts obsessive and relentless that "catechists" NC repeated continuously, you get a transformation of the individual personality that comes to a real brainwashing. Everything becomes normal and consequential damages, such as the payment of the 'tenth', which in practice and a bribe of 10% on family income that everyone, even the poorest, must pay and provide their assets and real estate!
CLERGY AND SEMINARS
The clergy who keeps them at a distance is labeled and insulted with the epithets of "Pharaoh", "devil", "Judas". While pastors and Bishops who receive them are rewarded financially. The "offers" per month (fixed salary and on time) are given based on the number of "Community" acting in the parish or diocese. The clergy and psychologically conditioned! How could, in fact, give up these handsome salaries? This explains the economic conditioning that sometimes dulls the will of the priests who have taken this organization and also explains the proliferation of special seminars and exclusive to NC (over 30) that create the Catholic priests who have very little, and that most obey the leaders the organization that the Bishops!
With a strategy that is very similar to that carried out by Freemasonry, have implemented a detailed employment of all focal points and decision-making tools of mass communication, in order to speed up the expansion and development of their organization. They made friends and brothers some journalists of Vatican Radio, as Dr. Roberto Piermarini, directors of public and private radio and some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, some senior bank executives as the Banca di Roma, etc.)..
MARRIAGE
Until the early meetings is said to the followers of the marriage, the family, work, children, possessions, are "idols" that are hated. Kiko does tell his catechists that "the family is a myth when it becomes terrible religion. The Christianity must destroy it. " We must therefore give priority to the "Community"! It is also said that if his wife and in love with her husband, or the husband and in love with his wife, and created an idol! ... then you have to learn to hate him!
In the "ballots" (exams) s'insiste on the fact that the link is broken parents and children and that the children are offered to the community ('sons of the Community'). They also say: "The children are idols" and suffer much love seeing the "human" and "neurotic" parents! (Kiko and convinced that the parents are all "neurotic" because they did not want their children!). I have personally witnessed that the figure of the father is violated and annulled. Parents should make a public confession before the children which, therefore, are aware of gory details and ashamed of their intimate life. The parental image and destroyed!
The boys sucked completely into the CN, are deprived of all the main things of youth: external friendships, fun, freedom, contemporary culture, opportunities to think and choose for ourselves! The activities of political, social, charitable and even those are, for them, a waste of time.
Twenty years of 'The Way' create Christians in series. The changes take place at specific times, set by the catechists (neither before, nor after). The action of grace does not exist! Faith comes only at the end of the Way, with the renewal of baptismal vows. And 'the cult that sets dates for when they have to be the "profound changes".
With arcane rituals and secret knowledge, the NC draws the cunning of the ancient "Gnosticism" and the current "Freemasonry". It 'sa cheap mysticism which has an encounter with the Movement as the most important event since the coming of Christ!
Among the memories alive and most disturbing of years spent at Community, remember who had always lived life before meeting the CN in a negative way, empty, hopeless, inconclusive, and the meeting with the NC as the lighting solution of all problems! Who did not conform to this vision compulsory collective, was pitied as one who had not yet found Christ! The others, however, that renouncing their own personality, their own desires and their ideas submitted themselves to the authority of the Catechist, were prepared to take more and more responsibility!
In anticipation that someone could open their eyes and to rebel against the "brainwashing" allertavano the followers telling them: "If your father, your mother, your husband, will doubt the goodness and holiness of the CN, and means that the devil speaking in them do not listen. "
In a short time, even the way they talk, the linguistic terms, the movements of the body and arms, the look ... everything is approved and begins to Neocatechumenal a situation of perpetual misunderstanding with the outside world. Young people are racing to dress up or have a beard like Kiko, their guru.
According within the Community do not you realize structures that orchestrate everything, even emotions! All that and outside the Community, slowly loses its value and interest! The liturgies night long and tiring, sapping the body and mind weaken to the point that that which is imposed by the managers all the swear!
The numbness of the mind is part of the indoctrination process. The adept is rendered dazed and drunk to the point of finding meaning to his life only and nowhere else in the future.
Try doing all the same feelings, the "Managers" are led to believe that this demonstrates the strong presence of the Spirit of God! The result is a conviction so strong that when one is in other environments, it feels so vulnerable to risk and depression because now tied for life to those brothers and most can not do without it. Only that and his family!
The secret is a haunting thing: you can not ask questions about what that will follow, we can not reveal any details of the "Way" to outsiders, even to members of a lower level should not leak any of this happens inside! With spirited look bosses always say that over the next "steps" (periodic) you will access to a growing closeness to the wonders of God, and the important trust of the "Way", that of them, and thank not to be " Sunday Christians "!
They take you to live life only within the precincts of the Community, as if the whole world is infected. External interests, culture, education, politics, art, philosophy, even the priests and bishops not NC, can defile and get away from that (without you n'accorga) and become your prison. Since the first ballot remind you that you put your signature on the "Book of Life" (the Bible of the Community), and therefore you can not "betray" ... "Jesus and the past, this time for you ... could not spend more! ... Jesus is acting through the Catechists. " With these and other similar expressions can also affect the minds more open and free.
Very significant, and that there the similarity between the ritual of the signature on the Bible of the Community, with the solemn commitments that require the adepts of Freemasonry and the Mafia!
To lock the rare joints try to frighten the members, playing on their fear of being "rejected" by the "community". Fear, guilt and dependence on "Community" are huge! It 'a real psychological terrorism.
The most important thing is to be able to cancel any followers in self-esteem, to be able to instill in them the idea that only the CN can give them benefits, so bringing them to a complete dependence. In the first two years of pre-catechumenate involve them with threats and promises of new astonishing revelations as: "Tonight the Church will give the Glorious Cross." Almost competing with each other, some report the misfortunes happened to those who have departed from the "Way" or even thought of it!
Each Community and convinced that he had received from God the task of saving the Catholic Church who is dying. Everyone argues, then, that salvation can be found only amongst NC! Gradually, they begin to use the term as a synonym for the whole of the Community Church NC! Any Catholic, but also a practicing member of the movement, is pitied and labeled as a "bigot", "Collotorto", "pay"! The normal Christian and worthless!
Cunningly they do not want to be called a 'Movement', to believe that true Christians are those who are on the Path. Just as Jehovah's Witnesses also say about themselves: "We are the people of Truth, are not an organization." From the beginning forbid that you refer to any type of organization. Do not have an association, not a congregation, not a movement, not a club, not a Community base, not a religious order! Their luciferin strategy and to not appear! Want to take over the Catholic Church but in a subtle and hidden.
According to the technique of brainwashing, neologisms and jargon of NC lead the members to accept new ideas, without any guarantee of attendibility! The particular language creates a sense of dependency and of blind obedience, as well as of successful exclusive membership to an elite group!
Insensibly and subtly led to believe and to consider how their real family the Community NC, adopting the terms 'brother' and 'sister' to recognize each member. Replace the term priest to priest. Sparano strong words and incomprehensible to outsiders, such as 'kerygma', 'koinonia', 'kenosis', 'existential', 'ontological', 'Servant of Yahweh', 'glorious Cross', to make an impression on the ordinary people, as if to believe to have God always in your pocket!
With mischievous gradually, the NC take over the parish 'exclusively': make the introductions to the readings of the Mass, choose the songs, teach catechism to the communicants and confirmands; prepare the Passover liturgy, ousting those who were against them and substituting for any other body. The pastor loses control of the situation as well.
In the rare cases in which the priest is able to remove them, will have to expect a terrible reaction. Then explode all their fanaticism. The poor man will meet with great difficulty to replace them in a peaceful and convenient, they will be able to replace the entry considerable monthly supply (having renounced that of CN), much less will succeed to defend against insults and slander that they put around. When a pastor of the province of Rome was able to get rid of NC, I immediately just because of a stroke robbed him of almost all the faithful.
Suggestive techniques are used in pairs to form many will go house to house in search of people, to bring it to the first catechesis. They come with safety, reciting a speech
Intimidated and subjected the poor shall not be barred out of the "community" if only because it establishes an indissoluble bond with that group of people and knowledge of the most hidden secrets and fears, through the "public confessions"!
memorized, forcibly full of enthusiasm, in an altered voice and safe, swapping in spots.
A serious international organization, who has studied religious sects in the world (FAIR) has observed: "Cults use sophisticated techniques that cause the destruction of'' I ', the change in thinking and psychological dependence. The seven members can keep in a state of heightened suggestibility through lack of sleep, fasting or special powers, spiritual exercises, the constant indoctrination and group experiences subsidiaries ".
The 'Confessions public' are the most classic and proven technique that is used to cement together the members of the Community and to control them in the depths of the soul.
In 'Living Together' that take place in a few days "week-end" the members of the Community are inspected (the so-called 'Ride' experiences) and psychological pressure, second only to 'Ballots'. These 'Ballots' are a terrible test, in which the Chiefs (who are lay people) inquisiscono the soul of the poor 'brothers' flaunting the authority to be able to determine the degree of growth in the faith of each of them. You get, in practice, to confess to a layman. The priest, reduced to the role of the priest who acts only as appearance, only serves to give the illusion that they are doing what is wanted and allowed by the Church.
Sometimes used psychological tricks, such as the'' total darkness' (the so-called 'Skylight') combined with long silences, they get an overwhelming impact on the poor stressed minds. All these things were prepared and meticulously prepared by Kiko Arguello in the secret book: "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the conversion phase." In that book Kiko presenting in detail the rituals specially designed to create the maximum psychological impact in order to dramatize every situation.
To the extent that decreases the critical sense of the members, the Catechists increase the need of obedience, complete and irrational and come to say solemnly that "Catechists have Charisma and may demand blind obedience."
The heads of the CN come to have full control of all with a personal manipulation exercised by controlling the environment, creating a rarefied atmosphere, exploiting the public confessions and the exchange of experiences and supervised the use of jargon unique, up to also get to influence their future desires. And 'well-known fact that restricting the vocabulary used, are reduced to the same extent the ability to think and feel. Transform the image that everyone has of himself through the review of all the events previously experienced. 'Before' life was ugly, "after" the meeting with the NC, life becomes brighter because there is always someone who will say what needs to be done!
The destruction of the individual personality and one of the objectives pursued by most Heads NC. Insistently repeated, "You must die to yourself, destroy yourself." The poor 'brother' you just have to hold on to the movement and life of his triumphs, his struggles, his collections of money. Friends of the Way become his friends, critics or opponents become enemies of the Way! Everyone loses its independence and its way of thinking, nothing has more value than that which proposes the Way. Teach us not to react to wrongs that are done to ensure the compliance of States and the dependence of the Heads! Lead to hate everything that can be the object of emotional attachment or love (spouse, hobbies, career, clock, books ...), why present them as 'idols', as if they were competitors to the Community.
Individual resources (imagination, creativity, etc.)., So encouraged in Catholic Associations (Scout, Caritas, Catholic Action, St. Vincent, etc..), Are repressed in the NC.
Since further catechesis give the task of bringing family and friends, bombarding them with expressions borrowed from the Jehovah's Witnesses: "Get to know our friends! Come and see! Then you'll understand! No one can understand it, if you do not live. " Repeated at all: "You can not judge", preventing anyone from making even the smallest objection. They shouted in his face to the Bishops who are allowed to object to something! Any dialogue and nearly impossible!
Those then who, having made this "wonderful experience" show critics are presented as unreliable due to the fact that they did all the experience, or because they are a borderline case, or have never met Christ. Any attempt at dialogue is killed, saying: "We will pray for you!" How to say "You do not understand anything. We are always right. " Their 'leaders' should only preach, never give explanations!
For every twenty years (and more) in The Way, the members are kept in a state of absolute submission, and they are constantly repeated message of sin and corruption. In order to move forward, and fundamental magnify the conscience of the state of sin, thus destroying any personality! Grace does not exist! The man who can not sin, so do not feel responsible! Everyone must feel great sinners, completely dependent on the Catechists who with the power given to them by the Holy Spirit announce Salvation!
Some concepts are repeated beyond belief: "If you are not in THIS WORD, you are lost, because outside of it there is only death." "I completely rid from slavery in Egypt! Start the walk with a Community! Receive the Messiah coming to liberate you! Put your trust in him and he will guide you! It happens that some leave the CN abandoning Moses (Kiko) and the Pharaoh attacks them and destroys them. "
The little practicing Catholic or secular unprepared, fail to distinguish between what the Scriptures say in reference to a well-defined historical context, from what the catechists would have you believe as referring to their movement. This also serves to keep people subjugated to them!
Gradually lead to absurd accept expressions such as: "Catechists have Karisma! Catechists speak in the name of God! If you say no to a Catechist, say no to God! "
Life in the NC and something totalizing every sacrament is prepared and held in the Community; children receive the baptism in the Community, since children must attend the resonances in the polls and the Eucharistic liturgy (even that of the Easter night), child receive the catechesis of young people will have to make choices in life, guided by their catechists and through them, will be blackmailed any recalcitrant spouse.
In the course of the Way is made a depletion of personality, which leads to family breakdown, the destruction of the life of the parishes and the emanation of heresies in quantity through several cycles of catechesis that last 2/3 years each: Shema, prayer, Traditio symbol , Redditio Symboli, Our Father, Election, renewal of baptismal promises!
Like all sectarian organizations, including the Neocatechumenal considered as traitors those who drop out, and then holds them up to those who remain, as the quintessence of the devil, who is creating a fear and a greater submission.
The strong sense of group identification blows up powerful feelings of guilt in those who would leave, because they have taught them that those who leave the NC, let God! Moreover, as you can leave those who know your most intimate secrets? How could you go easy 'Sunday Christian'? Often, even the few who manage to free themselves, remain with the desire to return to the Way which made them dependent and insecure, no longer able to live an independent life! And to think that claim to form Christians ADULTS! Life in a common parish seems less beautiful (even if most true) after so much triumphalism among the CN.
Catechists require long periods of fasting, accompanied by dark, Bible readings, public confessions soggioganti, followed, at the right time, festive lunches (agape) that artificially do go the "Brothers of the Community" over the moon illusion and make them feel closer to God This is the famous "love bomb" characteristic of all religious sects that practiced in cycles, makes it totally obedient to their bosses.
Catechists rarely give explicit prohibitions, not necessary because every individual and collective behavior and approved from the beginning and no one will change more or waived.
The time off work is completely absorbed by the commitments of the community. This increase is the exclusive friendships within the group; permanently influence people and cut ties with the outside world.
The activities of the community are so all-encompassing that hijack "full" of the individual, to the point of turning it into a "fundamentalist" without having the ability to talk more calmly with strangers because now unable to accept any compromise. Continuously repeats them: "This is definitely right! This is wrong. " "Who said that?
I have heard from some of their leaders, with the prolific forced and irresponsible, they calculated that in the decades may come to take possession of the Church, and some dare ... World!
God! (Which speaks through the Catechist), "and the mind, accustomed to move only along the rails of religious fundamentalism, it becomes rigid.
Every living or relationship of any kind with people outside the sect becomes impossible, because the NC can not even taking into account the most behave differently from what has been instilled within its Community. To the extent that spend months and years, the subject is convinced by the Catechists, in the context of collective ceremonies and triumphant, his spirituality and his Way of Faith are in great growth, while in reality he grows the "fanaticism" . With clever suggestion and convinced of continuous improvement, while in reality worsens eye.
Some (including this writer) have deluded at least create a situation of compromise, which could make it livable and possible a relationship with them. The results have been catastrophic! Not only do they consider the "compromise" the same way as a curse, but the blind obedience to their leaders must be resolute, complete and concretized "literally"!
The followers are isolated to the point that you just senton, insecure, suspicious of all those who, not being of the movement, can not understand. You do not trust anyone and are choked with more isolation itself. To avoid any defection, the Catechists convince everyone that if they have any doubts, do not have to expose them to priests or bishops because even they understand.
I can speak from personal experience. I was able to externalize my doubts to some ex-brother of Way or my children, giving the critical testimony, avallandola with the support of a good book and saying, "Think about it and ask the help of a good priest who is not NC". Now the person who went by the powerful Catechists, obviously, they told them that I was the devil himself!
In March of 1993 my first child, after promising to read books critical of the Catholic Neocatechumenate, threw them in the bin after 5 minutes of garbage, with joy of the brothers of the community!
In some cases, the desire to have children who are the mirror of catechists, means that you conceive children (even physically with her husband) knowing and hoping to be educated and brought up by the catechist. These, in fact, becomes the true father from the standpoint of psychological and educational. Takes a real betrayal psychological against the spouse and the traditional Christian family disappears. The family no longer exists.
All come to believe blindly what they say the supreme chiefs of this sectarian movement that show to be so excited to be declared explicitly: "We have the Charisma! Kiko and directly inspired by God. " To have a progressive influence, are also used by psychologists. Entire families are so swallowed up in the abyss in the most natural in the world, almost drawn to a Pied Piper.
Mental rigidity and date the acquisition of several concepts obliging, without that we can discuss. The poor people who fall for it can not even imagine different solutions from those proposed by the sect.
The intellectual and cultural poverty, combined with the corrupting power of money, do the rest. Scholars hired, with artificial reasoning, support the thesis that there's incredible to say that those opposed to the seven it does to protect financial interests, and while the opposite is true, or that they are a way to reach God
Other psychologists intellectually honest showed a suspicious similarity between the coercive methods used in the CN with the famous three phases of the techniques of 'brainwashing' used in China in the 50s to convert the Chinese to communism: Thawing-Modification-refreezing.
It seems that psychologists of this sect have applied these techniques to the letter, experiencing them on so many unfortunates who, in good faith, did not realize to come trapped, as if they had fallen on an invisible "Canvas spider."
On the other hand it is known that the religious sects implement "thought reform" that is, a rational belief that changes the concept of life and persuades you that only those who belong to the sect knows the truth.
In public confessions and during the 'resonance' and is psychologically compelled to prove to be in line with the teachings of the sect, to say the things that the leaders want them to be called ... and with the same words that the leaders want them to be spoken!
Particular sadness and concern can be seen in the permanent and irreversible damage that can bring small children, those who are born practically have already parents in "The Way."
To understand what is happening and simplicity, and to remember the experience of laboratory known as the 'bandage kitty'.
If a newborn kitten, a little 'time, you put a bandage over one eye, when it takes off, that eye will be found partially atrophied and no longer in a position to buy the normal visual ability, even with vigorous rehabilitations .
Children who, trained from birth in a religious sect, as adults want to get out, they are not able to take responsibility in areas that require independent initiative, imagination, culture, interfaith tolerance, knowledge of contemporary thought, and so on.
Other strong conditioning and given by CASH.
The sums raked by this sect are something huge and difficult to assess. It ranges from 10% of all earnings from employment or professional or retired, donations, inheritance, demonstration of being detached from the money through renunciation of personal and family.
The frequent collections of money are done with a black plastic bag (the bag to the garbage) that is run. Everyone puts in the money or valuables.
The money used in the purchase and maintenance of luxurious residences, exclusive of seminars and also for the payment of salaries to those priests and the bishops who have shown good in facilitating the expansion of the Way. Of course, such salaries, although originating from a single national tariff and data in proportion to the number of 'communities' existing in the territory, are not officially called 'wages', but 'offers'. The substance does not change.
More money is spent on public relations, and to get a good image in the Catholic world. Only a small part is used in favor of brothers of the community in need and this is given as the result of great sacrifices and a source of continuing blackmail and debts of gratitude. In practice, the first s'impoveriscono families with prolificacy irresponsible, then keep connected with the blackmail of money.
The money and the most valuable asset they hold dear the highest leaders of the Movement. A short could serve to influence the next Conclave, in competition with other sectarian movements sprung up in recent years within the Church.
The river of money that enters continuously into the coffers of the movement, not only because the offers 'spontaneous', but also by the exclusive sale of thousands of objects of worship with the brand of Kiko. I refer to lecterns, crosses, altar cloths for, carpets, vases, stoles, tunics, etc.. All of these items are exclusive, manufactured in their factory, signed by their guru, sold at 'exclusive'. Even the final rite of baptism in the Jordan River and celebrated by wearing a tunic expensive 'branded' with travel and accommodation organized by the sect.
"Since I came to miss the international funds" in May of this year (2001) Kiko has asked all the Communities that had the 2nd Step to pay urgent (even at the cost of making a bank guarantee) the sum of ten million to complete the construction of the 'Domus Galileae', "the greatest work of its kind in Palestine." If true what they say themselves (more than six thousand Communities in Italy alone), how many hundreds of billions will have collected and how they will use it really?
Of course, Kiko has a strong business sense who knows disguise offering its high spirituality and the deluded, full of enthusiasm for him, believe and pay.
A website Neo Catechumenal has even prepared the eulogy for the canonization of the "founders" Kiko and Carmen, considering newly S. Francis and St. Chiara!
I believe that these false biographies need to be treated, the more that the Church, by a group of clinical psychiatrists!
NC I often speak of "persecution." When someone like me, denounces the horrible fruits of the Way, is insulted, mocked, pitied; stigmatized as Judas, traitor, devil, Pharaoh.
Then rejoice in the Community because they consider criticism as 'persecution' they feel their 'holiness' and the rightness of their experience.
The real persecutions suffered other. I was taken out and the family, children, love their grandchildren, the house, etc..). Often I hear stories that make your skin crawl: people stuck in their career or work from superiors and managers who are catechists NC, professors damaged at school, transferred Bishops, priests and driven many pleasures of the genre.
One wonders why the bishops do not ever intervene in a matter so serious. I try to suggest some answers.
• Many are accustomed to obey unquestioningly the orders from above.
• Many are stunned by the roar of the organization NC.
• Some can no longer do without the monthly salaries of the sect.
• All, however, will have to deal with their conscience and the judgment of God
Bishops should also understand that the "New Ecclesial Movements" as the Way NC and others, being blind obedience and absolute structures, facilitate the decisions of the summit! You could get in a not too distant future, decisions made by the Pope along with a few "leaders" pseudo-seven, and the role of bishops, willed by Christ himself, could disappear!
Why then the civil authorities do not intervene?
The only criminal law that could be called into question and that the psychological plagiarism (art. 603 CP) which, unfortunately, in 1981, was declared unconstitutional. The Constitutional Court shall recommend, then, that to provide himself soon to its reformulation. It 'superfluous to point out that the unconstitutionality was stimulated by numerous Italian and foreign religious sects. Because 20 years from its reformulation and stops at the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives? I can not answer!
I remember, however, that several lawyers Neocatechumenal they laughed in my face and said: "You can not do anything about it, because in Italy the plagiarism does not exist anymore."
The Lord has forgiven you all always. The only ones for which there seems to have been lost were the Pharisees, false and hypocritical, and the Devil.
Big Heads Neocatechumenal for me the image of both.

Join the Neocatechumenal Movement is not a matter of free choice, but a systematic psychological manipulation according to the techniques of "brainwashing."
Sometimes the choices that appear free in reality they are not. And what happens at the end of "cohabitation" which concludes the cycle of catechesis fifteen introducing the participants in the Neocatechumenal Way. At that moment, unconsciously, a person leaves the Catholic Church, to join a new religion whose doctrine and practice are at odds with his former faith, while remaining convinced of being rooted in Orthodoxy which is the guarantor of the passive figure of a priest-presbyter.
Individuals attracted to the community, first ignore the nature of the plot, slowly but surely, will take them to be converted, and the training methods that will be submitted so as to reach uncritical and dogmatic adherence to the principles of full faith and all 'religious ideology proposed by the Way as a whole, to produce the plagiarism of personality.
At the stage of the Neocatechumenal Way, which they call the "Second Ballot" Kiko urges catechists to scrutinize the people according to three criteria:
1) sehannocambiatomentalita; 2) sesisonoprovaticonibeni; 3) sehannofattoilcammino.
Other elements that give the Neocatechumenal Movement, the taste of a sect are: the hierarchical stratification within the movement, rites of passage and access developed, continuous monitoring of orthodoxy, commitment and proselytism.
Membership in the group and so strong as to be exclusive and incompatible with participation in social life. The process of indoctrination that is used within the Movement is not compatible with the Catholic faith because of sophisticated mechanisms of psychological influence that do not respect the person, and psychological pressure to which the person is not aware of or passively accepts, unaware of what the is happening.
The deleterious consequences of this conditioning on people often remain even when the catechumen left the group and sometimes psychologically mark irreversibly damages the mental health of the most vulnerable.
The Neocatechumenal Movement is configured as a group of Christian sectarianism and, as all sects, use an attitude of intolerance combined with an aggressive proselytism. Imposes its own particular way of thinking, feeling, acting, contrary to the Church asks the man an aware and responsible consent. But the "constraint" and latent and not easily recognizable, as well as the "evil" does not appear as such, but it looks "good." The Catholic Church in the Pastoral Note of May 30, 1993, prepared by the Secretariat for Ecumenism and Dialogue of the CEI, mentions the "brainwashing" in these terms: "A good reason can be observed that the sects and new religious movements normally appear closed to dialogue and hearing how the announcement by means of propaganda who use psychological pressure tend to take the other party in order to achieve total and uncritical adherence, to produce, in some cases, the plagiarism of personality. " And again: "It sometimes happens that the followers of a cult are bound by forms of coercion and supervision, until you get to actual limitations of personal freedom. In these cases we are faced with a successfully imposed and protected." In this document, we can then make explicit reference to the fact that some groups are systems of psychological pressure that do not respect the people.
However, the term "brainwashing" was introduced in the early 50's by Edward Hunter Jr., journalist correspondent in Hong Kong for a Miami newspaper, to translate a Chinese word (brain-washing) which means "cleaning of mind. " It was a system of persuasion used to clear the mind of the Chinese from the old beliefs and "convert" the ideals and programs communists. There were three phases of the process "thaw", which was to begin to doubt their own principles, to the point of wanting to leave, "modification", which came at a time when the prisoner began to glimpse the positives in the communist ideology and put themselves in the wake of others who had accepted it, "refreezing", which was to be convinced of the goodness of the new ideas that ended up being finally accepted. The subject so "Treaty" is made aware of the vulnerability of his situation and this puts you in a position to prepare his defense if he were to be attacked; prepared in this way and hard that he be influenced by those who would him to question the new location where you and lying.
And the technique that uses the movement N.C. in its recruitment process. The fifteen introductory catechesis, in which is proclaimed the Kerygma, correspond to the phase of the Chinese "defrosting". At this stage, we tend to demolish the certainties that members have, especially if they are practicing Catholics. It is said that "The Church, sacrament of salvation, today parishes do not see anywhere, rather they are the offices, where people go to Mass, baptism, though not a sacrament of salvation" (p. 31, from text "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the first ballot baptismal" The SCR). And again: "what we call Christians are a stumbling block to those who are no longer in the church" (p. 62, The SCR). They ridiculed the spirituality recommended by the Magisterium: "Careful with certain concepts of God and all that good kind mercy .... Sacred Heart, with his hand and his face so retouched, all sugar and honey, and all soavino tenerino ... .. " "The Catholic Church is full of paganism and idolatry" (p. 34 of the book "Introduction to prayer"). "... In Rome with cardinals, the Curia ..., everyone goes about his business, there is no pastoral them true: in Rome has never been a pastoral. And the worst land in the world" (p. 183 of the text "Introduction to prayer"). "We want to form a community in the parish that is a sign. This changes the pastoral communities in the long run and the structure of the parish." (By the "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the conversion phase").
These messages are received well by whom and weak faith or for various reasons and was disappointed by the Catholic Church and begins to believe that the true church is in the community. Kiko says: "The Neocatechumenal communities are the church itself which is something very different from the group of the ladies of St. Vincent, a group of Catholic Action ... and a path that the Church because if you find that the Action Catholic fruit, and do not know where to go, you can in this way meet the faith. " (P. 55, The SCR). "Do you think you will be scrutinized when you are in front of Jesus Christ, even though I am a fool, a villain, a moron, when you're sitting talking to me, at that time you'll be talking with Jesus Christ, we do a service in his name and God inspires us "(p. 90, II SCR).
We are at the stage of "modification": the members of the community are beginning to see the positive aspects of community life (interest and attention to those who show that they have a problem that plagues, climate friendly and festive welcome, "persons" on a monthly basis that are enthusiastically received by members as an escape from the "routine" daily), seen as a good thing to accept and make their own, starting to walk down that spiral with which some scholars of the problem is the process of membership of seven. Thus the individual will depart more and more from its background (family ties, social ties, value-categories), as it follows a loop, is losing sight of the usual references, just seeing the reality proposed by the group. Begins the third stage of the process corresponding to the phase of the Chinese "refreezing".
At first, the decision to enter and was free and conscious after entering the vortex drag the person proceeds. The community becomes the most important thing in the life of the aspirant.
Kiko says: "When you came into the community, even you were polytheists and for you the truth, and the life was the work, the family, the 'affirmation of yourself, your children, your company, the machine and among all these things you had also the community. At this point the Way, four years later, things are a bit 'different, and now, because you are convinced that these things do not give you all happiness, now the Lord can say, "Hear, O Israel, I am the 'friend, the others are not "(p. 72 of the text" Shema ")." There's a lot of people that bother to go to the community, but they can not leave because the Word has opened the truth of the world and now you can not sell more because ... where would they go? If the salt loses its flavor, now you do not need to anything else but to be trodden under foot of men. Become a wretched man, do not serve anything, because if I was at least as those who have not known the catechumenate and do not know anything, then you alieneresti with TV or diventeresti member of Rome and you'll would go with the great illusion to see her play every Sunday. BUT YOU ARE A MARKED STATE FIRE AND THIS IS NOT IT YOU CAN 'TAKE NO "(page 103 of the book" Shema ").
With these words Kiko nails forever the Way adepts and does not scruple to cast curses on those who, waking from the spell, in a moment of clarity, they wanted to go back: "... My brother, you can go back: but be careful! Beware brothers, because God has sent catechists concrete, who have said that they saw Jesus Christ. GONE IF THE BLOOD OF JESUS 'CHRIST FOR OUR LIABILITY WITNESS' ON YOU. " (P. 412 "Introduction to prayer"). If the adept shows some signs of hesitation catechists the "hold" reminding him that he put his signature on the Book of Life, that the copy of the Bible in the community, in a ceremony known as the first ballot. Then he was told that he was free not to sign and stop the "Way" sign meant salvation assured, do not sign up losing her forever. "Now, putting your name say your is the choice that God has done for you from all eternity. Rejoice for one thing: your names are written in heaven (p. 143" The Ballot ").
The group, which thus becomes the prison in which all feel the catechists are free, but in reality morally "chained". In this atmosphere of psychological terror held the "votes", conducted by ordinary lay people that replace the priest confessors and are built by the brothers who claim to know the most intimate things in their lives in this way becomes the patrimony of the whole community . Under the effect of "brainwashing" the catechumens are forced to donate their goods. "Man looks in real life. So you sell the goods in the community. Do not tell this to people because it should all be running" (pg. 50, "Guidelines, version 1982"). "... If there are rumors that country to enter this community you have to sell assets, is no longer in the catechesis" (p. 97, II SCR). "In many people living together rebels and does not intend to sell their goods and thinks he needs to do a elemosinuccia do not understand ..." (pg. 96, "Shema").
In conclusion, the Movement Neocatechumenal the problem lies not only in doctrinal content decidedly incompatible with the Catholic faith, but also in the psychological technique of indoctrination that is used by catechists, tending to humiliate people lowering their self-esteem in order to make them more malleable and receptive to ideas often strange group, conveyed in the course of long and stressful catechesis held in hours, even at night and in a climate of secrecy.
How much longer do we have to wait, we are victims of the deceit of the Neocatechumenal Movement, before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has decided to issue a document that can stop Kiko, Carmen and their catechists who continue to quietly spread their false doctrine, domineering parishes in the passive presence of priests, priests who offer the '"orthodoxy" of their catechesis even when they feel heavy accusations against the Catholic Church?
As long as you allow, adopting the tactics of silence, which continue to destroy families and parishes? Why let the Neocatechumenal say that the Holy Father approves and blesses them when you know that the false claim? And if the Pope knows (and now people will believe) what we all found out, why let it be blamed for complicity and all dogmatic errors scattered in the "catechesis" of Kiko and Carmen? Clear taste of catechesis heretical, filoprotestanti, taught by lay people without a proper theological training, in hours, even at night and in a climate of secrecy, with a psychological technique of indoctrination which tends to humiliate people lowering their self-esteem so that they are more malleable and receptive to the ideas of aberrant movement. And what about the spiritual and psychological consequences on the psyche of many sometimes very serious (loss of personal identity, insecurity, severe forms of depression to suicide ...)? Those who would give up the Way can not, the choice to enter the beginning and was free and conscious after entering the group the person proceeds dragged. Undergoes, is silent and obeys blindly catechists that frighten with threats and curses anyone who shows any sign of hesitation. Those who have come asking for help to the Church denouncing abuse but are not heard from anyone. Weigh on your conscience for the sins of those who are disillusioned attitude of duplicity adopted by the Holy See, they lose faith and discredit the figure of the Pope. The doctrine of Kiko now you know the secret of thirty years and been revealed thanks to zealous churchmen who you know well and whose books were made by the same in your hands. The time is ripe. What is stubbornly silent, cover and wait? And maybe you want to avoid the scandal? We have to deal with God before the men of this land, and before His judgment seat we must all appear: Pope, Bishops and Cardinals included.
It would be enough, without creating a scandal - and if you want to avoid this - that all bishops (if it is true that all belong to the same Church) forbade:
• catechesis in the parishes of Kiko and Carmen behind closed doors with their pseudocatechismo (the Gospel must be "shouted from the rooftops" and the Catechism of the Church gave to the faithful and only one);
• the Eucharistic celebration on Saturday night (You know that the Neocatechumenal celebrate several masses at the same time - one for each group - and all outside the normal Sunday liturgy). Yet in pastoral note of the CEI, July 15, 1984, "The Day of the Lord", our bishops are not inviting "over the right not to multiply the number of Sunday Masses, and here and there, even the festive masses on Saturday evening," as this practice of "contemporary is made of serious injury to the pastoral care and undermines the truth of the festive celebration"?
• the performance of their program by requiring them to follow the parish or diocesan pastoral program.
We are tired of waiting. The time of Truth and the junta. Hurry up to take action before it is too late. We do not want to think of being betrayed by our pastors. What an enormous shame it would be for the Church: HAVE BETRAYED THE FAITH OF CHRIST, TO PROMOTE THE CHRIST OF KIKO.
FATHER ZOFFOLI
In June 1996, in a hospital in Rome, he was admitted a "cherub old," as it was called, a sweet and holy priest, theologian and professor of theology in the most famous Roman Catholic university, the Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli.
This good priest, a prolific writer of many books on theology, philosophy, history, the ascetic, the ageografia, etc.., In recent years he had devoted his studies also highlight the great danger of the birth and development within the Catholic Church, the secret religious sect called "Neo Catechumenal Way."
On June 1, 1996, a few days before his death, which occurred the following June 16, presented himself to him, recognizing the intellectual honesty of the great priest, Kiko, the founder of the sect itself. Father Zoffoli said, "Kiko, I love you." Kiko said, "I know father what you did, did it for love of the Church." Zoffoli said, "for the sake of Truth, and do it again! .. Kiko pray for me" and Kiko replied: ".. and you father to pray for me!" .. So Kiko the gift his painting of the "Good Shepherd" and kiss his hand, as they used to do, until not long ago, against the priests.
I'd never had pain in my solidarity, dazed by the presence of two irreconcilable entities: a sect which claimed to be the true Church and the Catholic Church, that day I knew which way was the true Church of Christ was with the Father Zoffoli!

CANVAS OF THE SPIDER
PLAGIARISM IN PSYCHOLOGICAL NEOCATECHUMENAL WAY
Augusto Faustini
"There are prisons that have bars: solid bars you see, and you can cut. There
prisons, which have invisible barriers that can not be grasped and shook with anger, while
smiling tell you:
"But you are free! The door is open ... open! Can get out." (Claud Buffet)
Author's Note
In recent months I have received numerous testimonies from all over Italy and the world and from every
walks of life. The most awaited and welcome were those of Bishops. In the testimonies of those who were
just came out or was about to exit the Way I felt so much insecurity and fear, but also the
need a word of explanation and safety. I had the impression of being in front of
a spider's web of a tarantula that poisons everything that ensnares: individuals, families, the Church,
society.
Membership is not 'the result of a free choice
What I say now is the result of personal experience living in the Way NC. My thoughts do not
have claims: I recognize you do not have adequate psychological preparation, but I want to make
in the public domain a reality that to me seemed the result of a technique of 'washing
brain 'designed to depersonalize, implementation at the expense of many ordinary people who in good faith
have embarked on a 'Way' to rediscover their faith or simply to deepen the
content.
It almost seems that nowadays has become so demanding and tiring to think that you
preference is to use simplifications and you deploy without first having made a genuine path of
knowledge and discernment.
Instead of listening to others, you prefer to consolidate its position, defending it at all costs.
I want my writing to come not only to ecclesiastical hierarchies responsible, but
especially to the simple faithful.
Too many theological errors have to define 'non-Catholic', but 'heretic' this movement. I
I only make signs, leaving the priests and theologians who have dealt with the deepening
argument (see References).
Many techniques of plagiarism used in this sect, are also used in other secret sects, both inside and
outside of Christianity, as we have seen recently in the case of poor
Archbishop Milingo,
manipulated by the cult of the Moon. However, while the sects recognized as highly dangerous
(Such as Jehovah's Witnesses or Satanic cults) because we can defend the Church and society
Civil help inform and, when this place thrives in the Catholic Church, we can not
defend, as it operates in a subtle and ambiguous situation for which there is no information.
Many priests, while strongly opposed, they avoid talking about it for fear of tarnishing the Church.
But I believe that the Church must purify and get rid of those who offer themselves as super
apostles but that really take advantage of people simple and available, rich in ideals that hope
increase in this 'Way', which supposedly blessed by God
I dedicate these thoughts to my wife, which prevented me from catechists can attend at
of two major surgeries, my grandchildren, but already many that do not call me grandfather to
their parents, who once called me dad, young people thirsting for true ideals, in the hope of
save them from the sects, and those already in the 'Way', in the hope that open their eyes and
recognize the "Canvas spider" which have fallen and from which have been completely
enmeshed and entangled.
We all believe that those who have intelligence and a good culture (perhaps graduate), who has his feet firmly
balances in land, can never end up in a secret religious sect.
Nothing could be more wrong!
No one can 'be considered safe from plagiarism and brainwashing
In the course of life all go through periods of increased vulnerability due to losses, serious
diseases, severe grief or lack of ideals.
We all need to feel understood, accepted, loved, and therefore frequenting environments
facilitate this.
The leaders of sects scientifically organize every activity, severing relations with the outside world
to miss any comparison, so that those who do not attend s'accorga of slow but steady
changes that slowly envelop the adept in an invisible "Canvas Spider."
The 'Neocatechumenal Communities' born after 'Ad'. Ordinary lay people present themselves to the
pastor and ask to make a catechesis for adults.
I 'catechists' do catechesis bombing concepts with pseudo-Protestant, without understanding the
their membership of an organization and, above all, without warn that for them is beginning a
commitment that will last at least twenty years. Despite a number of 'out of tune' (which only a few well-
formed in the Church's teaching experience) usually all remain confident to listen, and
reassured by the presence of the parish priest who acts as a guarantor and gives assurance that it is still in a
proposal Catholic.
All are magnetized by proclaiming catechesis firmly. They believe that what
propose is not the result of a preparation table and, above all, that is the only way
of being authentic Christians.
Certain statements catechists give rise to doubts and surprises, but they provide more and
enjoy the unconditional support of the Pope only a few discover that the Catholic Church does not have them
never officially approved, even though they always try to hide, deceive with false claims.
As in all seven, at the appropriate time a cracker what psychologists
call the 'Love Bomb' (the love bomb) by artificially creating a moment of
joyful recollection that gives the impression of a situation of friendship, harmony and love.
This situation (often prepared with the help of targeted fasting, followed by the recruitment of sweets and
wine) creates an atmosphere that would be concrete proof that it is of a privileged group
from God It is, instead, of a technique of 'hooking' to engage and retain the neophyte.
(Remarks by Prof. Mastronardi, owner of Psychopathology at the University 'La Sapienza')
Who attends the CN, over the years, is aware of the persuasive power of the leaders and how
between them, the concept of family is very different from the classic Christian. In Motion
is made one big family of 40/50 people who are guided by a householder: the
Catechist. The planning torque disappears. In its place was replaced by that which is inspired
directly by the founder, Kiko Arguello!
Even those who are striving to preserve their independent judgment, he realizes that the leaders
totally monopolize the private life of individuals through the commitments of group
(More frequent), with the natural increase of friendships between members of the group and with
psychological control exercised through the 'Confessions public', the 'resonance' and so-called
"Turn of experience." In these three moments is forced to tell (even in the most intimate details)
all the secrets of life and the sins committed in the past.
These intimate secrets must be externalised in front of the whole Community to become so, as
a sword of Damocles that will prevent them for ever, to leave the group.
The Heads of the Community and especially the Catechist responsible for all of the Parish Community,
want to know, even in the most gory details, the details of the problems
individual, in order to have 'in hand' the psyche of the victim, replacing, in fact, to
confessor or spiritual father. All of this happens without there being an obligation of secrecy
confessional, because they are not priests, but the laity. Convince people that their
organization is perfect and inspired directly by God therefore who were allowed even
slightest criticism of their methods, is considered a 'devil' or a 'Pharaoh' and when
someone (even priest or bishop) moves objections to the organization, each member
must treat it as a personal enemy.
Since the early meetings, herald mysterious dangers, warning that: must guard against
anyone who wants to tell them something other than the 'Managers' teach, that in the same
Catholic Church there are many who "hate" because they are "real" and authentic discoverers of
Christianity of the first centuries, that many in the future will feel the desire to leave the
experience, but "nobody will have the convenience to do so," because "out of the Way can not be
that destruction and unhappiness. "
Some take my courage in both hands and run away from this experience, but very often
"Repent of having repented" because they no longer have the ability to live an independent life.
Taking advantage of the real difficulties that nowadays occur in the make and keep
friendships, forcing newcomers dating only each other and get involved in more and more meetings
numerous, so that for years have not true friendships other external. They believe that this
Experience is the only thing in the world that matters, and gradually induce their followers not to
try more interest in culture, art, sports, politics, etc.. Everything becomes
secondary!
From the beginning, the "responsible leaders" creep into neophytes suspect that the Catholics who go to
'Messe normal' Christians are second-class, and clearly state calling them "Christians
Sunday. "
Invite you to get rid of suffering, to convince you that even the most expensive, if you can not
drag them into the community, losing IS BETTER!
Choosing marriage, priestly or religious forced!
Obligation singular (how unfair) is to require all or double solution (controlled by
Movement) or the consecration by the priest or religious tax Catechists and ultimately
by Kiko Arguello (bachelor) and Carmen Hernandez (ex-nun, maiden name)!
Over the years, the adepts become a fixed set, granite. You get to impose an obligation
to marry in the group ('endogamy'), saying explicitly: "married the daughters of Israel."
Who gets engaged to a girl or a boy outside, not left in peace until they
force the other / a to enter the Way. If they can not aim will be forced to
choose between abandoning the 'paradise Neocatechumenal' or abandon their 'love'. That
involves psychological agony, because in the meantime will have convinced the adept'' 'only
with NC there can be no true Christianity!
Same goes for those who are married. I thought that, given the sanctity and indissolubility of
marriage, the spouse would have recommended doubtful of always choosing the rescue
marriage, before any dilemma. But no! One of the most powerful leaders in the NC, the lawyer.
Franco Voltaggio, after promising to several bishops to save a marriage would
willingly sent home by their spouses too "excited", then gave
clear proof that what he said was false. In fact, when one of the spouses has been made
fanatically slave of their organization (which happens more often than not
believe), go so far as to make them live a separate life (divorce of fact) if the other spouse does not
appreciates the "Community".
This has happened to me too.
On 27 April 1992, at 17, in the Church of San Leonardo Murialdo (former St. Titus) via Pincherle
(Off Via Marconi, area South of Rome), the then parish priest Fr Domenico Paiusco, ordered me to
live the rest of my days away from my home, my children and my wife, because my
opposition organization Neocatechumenal I had made against the Catholic Church.
The decision was taken by the 'maximum catechists' of the diocese of Rome and was irrevocable. Feces
that my (and his) Bishop had asked him to do the opposite. But he said
only to obey his conscience (but actually obeyed the leaders NC).
No one then had the courage to oppose this decision, neither my wife nor my children, nor Bishop
Riva, who was then Bishop of our industry.
I tried to keep my independence of judgment, but I realized that the members of the
My family (first unit), with time have been involved in many commitments according to the
various 'Community'.
Returning in the evening, tired from work, I realized that they were all out: who for the 'Liturgy of the
Word ', for those who prepare the meetings, those who prepare the songs. I was having dinner just like a dog and
constatavo as they really destroyed our family community.
They boast of being a Catholic, but when there is conflict between the attend their meetings or some
sacrament, they are always prevail superiority of participation in their meetings!
Manco argues, then, when the alternative is to study commitments, commitments or social, artistic,
sports, love, politics or "hated culture"!
According to the Catechists all these commitments are 'idols'!
Moments of the life faced with dull fanaticism!
On the occasion of the death of my mother (on 1 October 1992) I asked my unnecessarily
Neocatechumenal wife to pray with me. His answer was: "I pray not only with my
brothers of the community, which are my only true family in Christ. "
Fanaticism leads them to say and really believe that this organization is a direct offshoot of
Christ.
One day I pointed out that the first of my children would not listen to anything and reclamavo as
father, at least the right to be heard. I felt then answer: "Why, sometimes not
listen even catechists, as you claim you hear the father?. "This made me understand the evidence
real reversal of roles and the strength of the absolute power of catechists.
The newlyweds are pushed (with the excuse openness to life) to an excessive fertility and
irresponsible. Come to make new children for silly exhibitionism, rather than driven by
true love.
There are families of 8, 10, 12 children!
Despite the commitments that take up the whole day and there is a total manipulation of
minds, but there is always someone who can maintain their freedom of thought and to use
his head.
But when they are allowed to raise any questions or to make any criticism or do
even the proposals, it is immediately accused of "slander." The charge is considered a
tremendous guilt and will be discussed in the "circle of experience." The poor brother will accusarsene
publicly before the Community. The victim will be terrified by the threat of not being able to
overcome the 'Poll' next.
This destroys the intelligence, self-esteem and critical sense of the person.
In many years of Way you are talking almost always and only with the same group of
people and to make choices fundamentalist. When they tell you you're wrong, immediately, without having the
time to analyze your thoughts or to examine the reasons that have generated, you convince yourself of
wrong.
Who has not lived this experience, they may not realize that this fanaticism Movement
not infuse the soul of followers, creating many 'fundamentalists' pseudo Catholics, similar to
deprecated 'Islamic fundamentalists'. The methods are different, but the results are very similar discredit
religion, danger to civil society, ruin of individuals that mature determination
irrational, fanatical mental rigidity and stubbornness. That fanatically Afghan fundamentalists running
directives of Bin Laden are the same people who for years, as children, were trained in the fields
Pakistani refugees in the light of the Quran alone, without any education on culture and
secular dimension of life.
I remember with horror the Pasque lived in those years, preceded by two days of fasting
rigorous, mandatory and absolute, all imbued with fanaticism, culminating with a whole night
songs, totally insulated from the parish community should be the Community of all.
At six in the morning there was a 'agape' (a room) with abundant food and wine in abundance.
Some came to get drunk, others to heave the stomach filled
suddenly with huge amounts of food. Then he slept through the day of Easter, without the
opportunity to spend even half an hour with family and friends not NC! The other was made
believe that on that night touched the most sublime peaks of asceticism!
The fanatical fundamentalism has been decisively rejected by Jesus who said: "Give to God what is
God and to Caesar what is Caesar's. "
Among the many teachings proclaimed so incessant, the most repeated was: "Only God should
be truly loved (where 'God' was understood their movement). "If your spouse is you
hindrance, odialo!
Do the same with anyone else who wants to separate you from us, children, siblings and parents included. "Many
couples had marriage ruined forever by this strange organization, very
similar to a 'sect'!
The emotional and psychological intimacy, and the design should be the cornerstones on which to base
any relationship. For decades, however, this was experienced and dealt with by strangers
the same pair!
Everyone can imagine the destructive effects are implied in such a situation. Most
Most couples are ruined. Those who become aware of reality emerging from this
catastrophic experience, but having reached the conclusion that the CN was the true expression of the
Christianity, many lose faith forever, and of them, the Church loses track.
Catechists NC say that the members are millions! But no one has ever calculated the
exiles are ten times as much! Or how much suffering you bring him or if they have preserved
faith!
Absolute lack of identification in the Church
They do not want to be called 'Movement', to believe that true Christians are only those that
are in the Way. They say, "We are the people of truth, we are not an organization." Since
beginning prohibit that refer to any type of organization. I'm not a
Association, not a congregation, not a movement, not a club, not
a community based, not a religious order! Their strategy is to not luciferin
appear! Want to take over the Catholic Church but in a subtle and hidden.
According to the technique of brainwashing, neologisms and jargon of the NC members to bring
accept new ideas, even without any guarantee of reliability! The particular language creates
sense of belonging to an elite group of successful, dependence and blind obedience!
Investigating the structure it turns out that, while they want to give everyone the impression of being
innocuous groups and spontaneous, guided only by the Spirit of God, are organized as' Church
in the Church '!
They have the 'responsible' for each Community, the heads of those responsible for the whole of the Community
parishes where there are: the 'catechists' (which count a lot more of the pastor!) Heads
sector (which are more of Bishops!) regional and national structures that secretly
overlap with the structures of the Church's official!
Lately I've found that the CN (without anything transpire outside the ecclesiastical circles)
are opposed by various clergymen.
The Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, Silvano Piovanelli of Florence, Giovanni Saldarini of
Turin, Salvatore Pappalardo, of Palermo, the Bishops of Brescia, Bruno Foresti, Ivrea, Bishop
Bettazzi and those of Novara in Trieste, Foligno, Perugia and many others, have highlighted the serious
danger of this organization.
In 1988, Bishop Cesare Pagani, bishop of Perugia, died of a heart attack after a heated argument
had with the leaders of this movement. They then reflect on their own rather than fanaticism, dared
speaking of divine punishment!
In January 1996, in England, in Clifton, Catholic Bishop Mervyn Alexander, has started
survey on the Way NC and when one is finished, has banned NC to recruit new members
the diocese!
The Assistant National "Catholic Action", Archbishop Agostino Superb, Bishop of Puglia,
along with 19 other bishops of the region (all agree, no exceptions), in December 1996
addressed to the priests of a pastoral region in which it is claimed that the CN "offers
risk communion in the Catholic Church "(" Jesus ", February 1997, p. 36).
In Vicenza have created many problems!
I learned that in Scandicci, near Florence, for a time the parish was split because
of NC.
Why should we still attend to other small painful schisms?
One of the reasons why this organization is suspected by some part of the Church lies in the
that the NC completely betray all openings conciliar social, all attempts
of reality in this world "theology of justice," all the Church's interest for the poor and
marginalized, all the conditions of democratization in the Church! Betray the same
Second Vatican Ecumenical Council.
On the other hand, for those who care about the conservation of the correct doctrine (which allowed
the Church to remain integral along the two thousand years of history) do not escape the serious heresies of
teachings, which are written in the Catechism NC and are kept strictly secret even
to the followers without specific charges!
Only the first volume (Orientations for the Teams of Catechists for the conversion phase) consists of
well 373 pages. Managers, however, have always denied the existence!
Many claim expressed in these Guidelines are of Lutheran
· Faith makes us completely undo the sins! The works do not count!
· The free interpretation of Scripture is the foundation of all morality!
· True priesthood is "all the faithful."
· The priest must only "chair"!
· Sacrifices, fasts, vows, and pilgrimages are all useless!
· The S. Rosario is discredited and marginalized!
· The Eucharistic Sacrifice is denied;
· Transubstantiation is reduced to the symbol!
· The Ministerial Priesthood is deleted!
All this is Lutheranism, not Catholicism!
· "Man can not do good because it is separated from God, because he sinned and was
radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The
Evil One is to his Lord. "
This is Jansenism, not Catholicism!
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle. For them, the presence of the body of
Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
According to my modest personal memories, the first sounded the alarm about the dangers of NC was
Father Virginio Rotondi, who seguitissimi articles in the newspaper "The Time" denounced that the
'Chosen people' persists in not wanting to recognize that God speaks to us not only through the Holy
Scripture, but also through the teachings of the Church. "And again:" The Scriptures do not have to
be shrouded in an aura of "magic"!
Other priests, then, they realized the danger of NC. I remember the first great and learned
theologian Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli, who wrote entire books of testimonies and other study
theological accurate. His studies were continued by Don Gino Conti, brilliant polemicist and
courageous pastor Pescara Don Elio Marighetto.
Techniques and fields of influence
The "catechists" NC continually repeat the same concepts in a pounding and obsessive,
obtaining a personality transformation that comes to a real washing of
brain. Everything becomes normal and consequential damages, such as the payment of the 'tenth' revenue
family (which everyone, including the poorest, must pay) and provide their goods
equity and real estate (basically a bribe of 10%).
Clergy, seminaries and centers of power
The clergy who keeps them at a distance is labeled and insulted with the epithets of 'Pharaoh' (against which the
God's people must fight), 'Devil', 'Judas'. While pastors and Bishops who receive them
are rewarded financially. The 'monthly deals' (fixed salary and on time) are given in
the number of 'Community' acting in the parish or diocese. The clergy
psychologically conditioned! How could, in fact, give up these handsome salaries? That
explains the economic conditioning that sometimes dulls the will of the priests who have
welcomed, and also explains the proliferation of seminars of NC (over forty) that create priests,
that Catholics are very little.
They obey the leaders of the movement rather than to the Bishops!
With a strategy very similar to that carried out by Freemasonry, have made the occupation of
all focal points and decision-making tools of mass communication, in order to
speed up the expansion and development of their organization. They've got some friends
psychologists (including the national president), many journalists, like Dr. Roberto Piermarini Radio
Vatican, directors of public and private radio and some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and
weekly, some banks (such as the Banco di Roma, etc.).
Family
From the very first meeting is called to the followers that marriage, family, work, children, the
assets, are "idols" that are hated. Kiko does tell his catechists that "the family is a myth
terrible when it becomes religion. Christianity must destroy it. "We must therefore take the
first place the "Community"! If the wife is in love with her husband, or the husband of the wife,
say that there has been an idol! ... must hate him!
In the "votes" s'insiste that the bond between parent and child is broken and that the children are
available to the Community ('sons of the Community'). They say, "The children are idols" and suffer seeing
human love and neurotic parents! (Kiko is convinced that the parents are all "neurotic"
because they did not want their children!). I have personally witnessed that the figure of the father is
Violated and canceled. Parents should make a public confession before the children which, therefore,
are aware of a particular gory and ashamed of their inner life, with the result of
destruction of the parental figure.
The boys, fully involved in the CN, are deprived of any interest youthful friendships external
fun, freedom, contemporary culture, opportunities to think and choose for ourselves! The
political, social, charitable and even those are, for them, a waste of time. Twenty years
of 'The Way' create Christians in series. The changes take place at specific times, set by
catechists (before or after). The action of grace does not exist! Faith comes only at the end of
Way, with the renewal of baptismal vows. And 'the cult that sets dates for when they
be the "profound changes".
Secret rites and mysteries
With arcane rituals and secret knowledge, the CN recalls ancient cunning 'Gnosticism' and the current
"Freemasonry". It 'sa cheap mysticism that has the encounter with the Movement as the fact
more important after the coming of Christ!
Among the most vivid and disturbing number of years spent in the community, I remember that had
always lived life before meeting the CN in a negative way, empty, hopeless, inconclusive;
and the meeting with the NC as the lighting solution of all problems! Who did not conform to this
collective vision and mandatory, was pitied as one who had not yet met the
Christ! Those who, renouncing their own personality, their own desires and their own ideas
subdued authority of the Catechist, received more and more responsibility!
Anticipating that someone could open their eyes and could withstand the 'brainwashing',
allertavano the followers saying: "If your father, your mother, your husband, will doubt the
goodness and holiness of the CN, it means that it is the devil speaking to them, do not listen. "
The way we talk, the linguistic terms, the movements of the body and arms, eyes ... everything, in
short time, it is approved and begins a state of perpetual lack of communication with the outside world. The
young people compete to dress or let his beard grow as Kiko, their guru.
According within the Community do not you realize the secret plans with which orchestrate all
(Even emotions) that what is outside the Community, gradually loses its value and interest!
The liturgies night (long and tiring), sapping the body and the mind and weaken to the point
that everything that is imposed by the managers is blindly accepted by all!
The numbness of the mind is part of the indoctrination process.
The adept is dazed and drunk to the point of not being able to give meaning to their lives, if not
the Neocatechumenal Way.
The "leaders" try to do all the same feelings, as if to demonstrate the presence
strong the Spirit of God! It follows a belief such that when one is found in other
environments, it feels so vulnerable to depression because the risk is now so closely linked to the brothers
can not do without them: only they are his family!
The secret is something obsessive. No one should ask questions about what will follow: you can not
reveal the details of the 'Way' to strangers and even to members of a lower level should not
nothing away about what happens inside! The Heads repeated often inspired look that only
"Steps" are likely to have access to a greater proximity to the wonders of God:
the important thing is to trust the "Way," of them, and thank for not being "Christians
Sunday "!
They take you to live life only within the precincts of the Community, as if the whole world is infected.
External interests, culture, education, politics, art, philosophy, even the priests and Bishops
NC does not, and can defile you away from that (without you n'accorga) has become
Your prison. Since the First Ballot remind you that you put your signature on the 'Book of Life'
(The Bible of the Community) and then you can not "betray" ... "Jesus passed this time for you ...
may not spend more! ... Jesus is acting through the Catechists. "With these and other expressions
similar can also affect the minds open and free.
A prime example is the similarity between the ritual of the signature on the Bible of the Community, with the commitments
solemn that you require to the followers of Freemasonry or the Mafia!
To lock the joints trying to frighten the members, playing on their fear of being "rejected
the Community. "Fear, guilt and addiction are enormous: a real
psychological terrorism.
A serious international organization, who has studied religious sects in the world (FAIR) has
observed: "Cults use sophisticated techniques that cause the destruction of'' I ', modification
of thought and psychological dependence. The seven may maintain the members in a state of
high suggestibility through lack of sleep, fasting or special powers,
spiritual exercises, the constant indoctrination and group experiences subsidiaries ".
The heads of the CN come to have full control of all with handling staff
exercised by controlling the environment, creating a rarefied atmosphere; exploiting the confessions
public and the exchange of experiences and supervised the use of jargon unique, until you get to
also affect their future desires.
It 'well known, in fact, that by restricting the vocabulary used, are reduced to the same extent the
ability to think and feel. Transform the image that everyone has of himself
through the review of all the events previously experienced. 'Before' life was ugly,
"After" the meeting with the NC, life will become brighter because there will always be someone who will say what
to do!
Tricks and blackmail
Suggestive techniques are used to form many, in pairs, will go from house to house
in search of people, to bring it to the first catechesis. They come with safety, reciting a
speech memorized, forcibly load of enthusiasm, in an altered voice, secure and
, swapping in spots.
The 'Confessions public' are used to cement together the members of a community and
control them from within.
In 'Living Together' three / four days that are in the "week-end" members of the Communities
are controlled with the 'Tour' experiences and subjected to psychological pressure. On the occasion, then,
of the various steps that must pass will be subject to the 'Ballots' that reveal how
terrible tests, in which the Chiefs (who are lay people) inquisiscono the poor 'brothers' flaunting
authority to establish the degree of growth in the faith of each of them. It comes, in practice, to
confess to a layman! The priest, reduced to the role of the priest who acts only as appearance, is
only to give the illusion that what they do is wanted and allowed by the Church.
Sometimes used psychological tricks, such as total darkness' (the so-called 'Skylight') together with
long silences, they get an overwhelming impact on the poor stressed minds. All these
things have been prepared and meticulously prepared by Kiko Arguello in the secret book:
"Guidelines for the teams of catechists for the conversion phase." In that book Kiko presents
detail the rituals specially designed to create the maximum psychological impact in order to
dramatize every situation.
Destruction of personality '
One of the objectives pursued by the Heads more NC is the destruction of the personality
individual. They repeat with insistence: "You must die to yourself, destroy yourself." The poor
'Brother' you just have to grab the movement and life of his triumphs, his struggles, his
collections of money. Friends of the Way become his friends, critics or opponents of
Way become his enemies! Everyone loses its independence and its way of thinking:
nothing is more valuable than that which proposes the Way.
Teach us not to react to wrongs that are done to ensure the compliance of States and the
dependence on Heads! Lead to hate everything that can be the object of emotional attachment
or love (spouse, hobbies, career, clock, books ...), why present them as 'idols',
as if they were competing with the Community.
Catechists increase the need of obedience, complete and irrational to the extent that
decreases the critical sense of the members, even saying that "Catechists have Charisma and
may demand blind obedience "!
Individual resources, encourage the Catholic Associations (Scout, Caritas, Catholic Action,
S. Vincent, etc..), Are repressed between the CN.
Since further catechesis give the task of bringing family and friends, bombarding them with
expressions borrowed from the Jehovah's Witnesses: "Get to know our friends, come and see! Then
understand! No one can understand it, if you do not live. "They repeat all:" You can not judge ", preventing
anyone to make even the slightest objection. They shouted in his face to the Bishops
that you are allowed to object to something!
Any dialogue is almost impossible!
Those then who, having made this "wonderful experience" show critics are
presented as unreliable due to the fact that they did all the experience, or because they are a
extreme case, or have never met Christ. Any attempt at dialogue is killed
saying, "We will pray for you", as if to say: "You do not understand anything. We are always right." The
their 'leaders' should only preach, never give explanations!
For twenty years (or more) of the Way, the members are kept in a state of absolute submission, repeating
constantly the message of sin and corruption. In order to move forward, it is essential
magnify the conscience of the state of sin, thus destroying every personality! Grace does not
exist! The man can not sin, so do not feel responsible! Everyone must feel great
sinners, completely dependent on the Catechists who with the power given to them by the Holy Spirit
Announce Salvation!
Some concepts are repeated constantly: "If you are not in THIS WORD, you are lost,
because outside of it there is only death. "" I completely rid of slavery in Egypt!
Start the walk with a community! Receive the Messiah coming to liberate you! Rely on him and
He will guide you! It happens that some leave the CN abandoning Moses (Kiko) and the Pharaoh attacks them
and destroys them. "
The little practicing Catholic or secular unprepared, can not tell what the Holy
Scripture says (referring to a well-defined historical context) from what the Catechists
would have you believe as referring to their movement. This serves to keep people
subjugated to them! Gradually lead to absurd accept expressions such as: "Catechists
have Charisma! Catechists speak in the name of God!
If you say no to a Catechist, say no to God. "
The Neocatechumenal (like all sectarian organizations) consider traitor leavers and
the point to who that is, as the quintessence of the Devil, by creating fear in others and
submission greater.
The very strong sense of identification with the group sets off powerful feelings of guilt in those who
want to move away, because they have taught them that those who leave the NC, let God! Moreover,
how you can leave those who know your deepest secrets? How could return
simple 'Sunday Christian'?
Often, even the few who manage to free themselves, remain with the desire to re-enter them in the Way
has made dependent and insecure, no longer able to live an independent life! And to think that support
to form Christians ADULTS! After much triumphalism among the NC, the life in a parish seems
less beautiful (even if it's true).
Catechists require long periods of fasting, accompanied by dark, Bible readings,
humiliating public confessions and incriminating, which, at the appropriate time are followed
festive meals (feasts) they do go the 'Brothers of the Community' over the moon and make them feel
deceptively close to God
Rarely the Catechists damage prohibitions explicit because they are not necessary, since
every individual and collective behavior is approved from the start. No one can afford
variations or exceptions.
Life in the CN is something totalizing every sacrament is prepared and celebrated in the Community, the
children receive the baptism in the Community, since children must attend the resonances in
ballots and the Eucharistic liturgy (even that of the Easter night), the child will receive
catechesis of young people make life choices guided by their catechists and through them, will be
blackmailed any recalcitrant spouse.
I have heard from some of their heads that in the coming decades, with the prolific and forced
irresponsible inculcate, could arrive to take possession of the Church, and some ...
dare ... also in the World!
In the course of the Way is made a depletion of personality, wrecked families,
destroyed the life of parishes and promanate heresies in quantity with several cycles of catechesis
last 2/3 years each: 'Ad', 'Shema', 'Prayer', 'Traditio symbol', 'Redditio
Symbol ',' Our Father ',' Election ',' Renewal of baptismal promises'!
Free time is completely absorbed by commitments to the community. This makes friendships grow
unique within the group and influence people permanently burning bridges with the outside world.
Community activities are so all-encompassing that completely take over the individual,
to turn it into a "fundamentalist" who no longer has the ability to communicate peacefully with
because strangers become unable to accept any compromise. Is repeated in their
continued: "This is definitely right! This is wrong." "Who said that? God!" (Who speaks
by means of the Catechist). And the mind used to move along the rails of religious fundamentalism,
becomes inflexible.
Any relationship or living with people outside the sect becomes impossible, because the CN does not
can no longer be considered to have a different behavior than what was
instilled within her community. To the extent that spend months and years, with ceremonies
collective triumphalist, the subject is convinced by the Catechists that his spirituality and his
Way of Faith are growing rapidly (when in fact he is growing fanaticism). Ably
influenced is convinced of continuous improvement, while in reality worsens eye.
The NC, not only regard the compromise as a blasphemy, but require obedience to
their heads is blind, resolute, complete and put into practice 'to the letter'. Who (deluded, as the
myself) have decided to create a situation of compromise that could make possible a
relationship with them had catastrophic results!
The followers are isolated and feel lonely, insecure, suspicious of all those who, not being
Movement, can not understand. Do not confide in anyone and is completely isolates. For
prevent any defection, the Catechists convince everyone that if they have any problems or concerns,
must expose them to priests or bishops because they do not understand.
I speak from personal experience: In March 1993, I had the opportunity to externalize my doubts to my children and
some ex-brother of Way, giving testimony, avallandola with the support of a good book
criticism of the Catholic Neocatechumenal Way and saying, "Think and ask the help of some
good priest who is not NC ".
Now the older son went by the Catechists who explicitly told him that I was the
The devil himself! These, though I had promised to read them, threw them after five minutes
of rubbish in the bin, to the satisfaction of the brothers of the Community.
In some cases, the desire to have children who are the mirror of catechists, makes it
conceive children (even physically with her husband) knowing and hoping that they are
educated and brought up by the catechist.
He becomes the true father in terms of psychological and educational. Takes a real
psychological treason against the spouse and the traditional family disappears: the family
no longer exists!
All blindly believe what they say the heads of supreme this sectarian movement that
prove to be so excited to be declared explicitly: "We have the Charisma! Kiko is
directly inspired by God. "To have a greater influence, are also used by psychologists.
Entire families are so swallowed up in the abyss in the most natural
world, as if attracted by a pied piper.
The mental rigidity is due to the acquisition of several concepts obliging, without which it can
discuss. The poor people who fall for it can not even imagine different solutions from those
which were prepared by the sect. The intellectual and cultural poverty, combined with the power corrupting
of money, do the rest.
And 'well known that the sects realize the' thought reform 'leading people in a
belief that change the conception of life and to believe that only those who belong to
cult knows the truth.
In public confessions and 'resonance' is psychologically compelled (to show
to be in line with the teachings of the sect) to say things that the leaders want them to be
said ... and with the same words that the leaders want them to be spoken!
Self-esteem is completely canceled to inculcate the idea that only the CN can give them benefits,
bringing it to a total dependence. In the first two years of pre-catechumenate affect them
with threats and promises of new astonishing revelations as, "Tonight will give the Church the Cross
Glorious ". Almost competing with each other, some report the misfortunes happened to those who are
removed from the "Way" or even thought of it!
Each community is convinced that he received from God the task of saving the Catholic Church that is
dying.
Everyone argues, then, that salvation can be found only amongst NC! Gradually, they begin to
Church to use the term as a synonym of all the NC Community! The Catholic does not
belonging to the movement, although practitioner, pitied and labeled as: 'bigot',
'Collotorto', 'pay'! The normal Christian is worthless!
Intimidated and subjected the poor shall not be able to get out of the 'Community' if only
because it establishes an indissoluble bond with that group of people who are aware of the
secrets and hidden fears, through the 'Confessions public'!
Irreversible damage
Permanent damage and irreversible report the children of parents 'Way'.
To understand what is happening, it is appropriate to recall the experience of laboratory known as the
'Bandage kitty'.
If for a while 'time, a kitten born, you put a patch over one eye, when the
is removed, that eye will be partially atrophied and no longer in a position to buy
normal eyesight, even with vigorous rehabilitations.
Children who are raised in a religious sect, they can not leave, nor are they able to take
responsibilities in areas that require independent initiative, imagination, culture, interfaith tolerance
or knowledge of contemporary thought, and so on.
When there is a continuous and vital relationship with the outside world, there is no replacement of lymph
intellectual. This facilitates the numbness of the brain even in the most intelligent people. If a
fly, in fact, rests on a painting, can never get a good look. To admire it fully
will have to "come out" and move away from the painting itself. This is what happens to those who enter into a sect can never
assess the environment that surrounds it in an objective way, as long as it does not return to its freedom of
judgment. Only then can comparing with others who are still outside his reality and
evaluate the right way the reality that is living. But to do that we need humility, honesty
thought and a good dose of courage!
Conquest of the parishes
Insensibly and subtly led to believe and to consider how their true family
NC community, adopting the terms 'brother' and 'sister' to recognize each member. Replace
the term priest to priest. Sparano strong words and incomprehensible to outsiders,
as "kerygma", "koinonia", "kenosis", "existential", "ontic", "Servant of Yahweh", "Cross
glorious "to make an impression on the simple people, almost always have to believe in God
pocket!
Take over the parish 'exclusively': with malicious gradually make the 'introductions'
the readings of the Mass, choose the songs, teach catechism to the communicants and confirmands;
prepare the Passover liturgy, ousting those who were against them and replacing each
other association. The pastor loses control of the situation.
In the rare cases in which the priest is able to remove them, you must expect a terrible reaction. Then
explode all their fanaticism. The poor man, meet great difficulties to replace them in a
peaceful and convenient; certainly can not replace the entry offer considerable monthly
(Having renounced that of CN) and even defend themselves from insults and slanders that they
put around. So it was a parish priest in the province of Rome, as he managed to get rid of
NC, immediately found himself alone, because of a shot, robbed him of almost all the faithful.
The weapon of money
Other strong conditioning is given by CASH.
Each adept must pay at least 10% of its income to the movement. This occurs after the
'Second pass'. This money, instead of going to the poor, is the so called 'itinerant catechists',
that going around Europe and the world to spread the movement, must not fail to
anything, from clothing to the car, from home to childcare. These itinerant catechists, are pushed
to resign from work for a living, and from that moment all my life, paid in full by
Sect, together with the whole family, without missing anything from them, in foreign countries, fully
expensed. As I have not thought of them and the luxury in which they live when, out of the house, I was
forced to sleep in the car! The money raked from this sect are something
gigantic and difficult to assess. They comprise 10% of all job gains
employee or professional income and pensions, donations, inheritance, and the offers made to demonstrate
to be detached from the money with renunciation of personal and family. The frequent collections
money are done with a black plastic bag (the bag for rubbish) which shall be
turn. Everyone puts in money or valuables.
The money is for the purchase and maintenance of luxury residences of seminars and to pay
salaries to those priests and the bishops who have shown good in facilitating the expansion of
Way. Of course, such salaries, although originating from a single national tariff, are given in
proportion of the number of 'Community' existing in the area, and they are called 'wages', but
'Offers'. The substance does not change.
More money is spent on public relations, and to get a good image in the world
Catholic. Only a small part is used in favor of brothers of community most in need, but it is
given as a result of great sacrifices and is a source of constant blackmail and debts of gratitude. In
practice: first impoverish families with a prolific irresponsible and then keep them connected
with the blackmail of money.
The money is good they care about the leaders of the Movement. In the near future could also be used to
affect the next Conclave, in competition with other movements sprung up in recent times
within the Church.
The river of money that enters continuously into the coffers of the Movement, is not given only by the
offers 'spontaneous', but also from the sale of thousands of objects of worship with the exclusive brand of
Kiko. I refer to lecterns, crosses, altar cloths for, carpets, vases, stoles, tunics, etc.. All
these objects are built in their own factory, signed by their guru, sold at prices
'Exclusive'. Even the final rite of baptism in the Jordan River is celebrated by wearing a
tunic expensive 'branded' with travel and accommodation organized by the sect.
"Since I came to miss the international funds" in May of this year (2001) Kiko
asked all the communities that had the 2nd Step, to pay urgent (even at the cost
to make a surety) the sum of ten million in order to complete the construction of the 'Domus
Galileae ', "the greatest work of its kind in Palestine." Years ago, the NC said that in Italy
there were over six thousand Community. If the figure is true, how many tens (or hundreds) of
billion will be collected with this call, and how they will actually use? Kiko has a certain
strong business sense and knows how to disguise them very well, suggesting its high spirituality. And the deluded,
full of enthusiasm for him, believe and pay.
Blackmail persecutory
I often say NC to undergo 'persecution', but when someone like me, the fruits complaint
disastrous Way, is insulted, mocked, pitied; stigmatized as 'Judas', 'traitor',
'Devil', 'Pharaoh'. The Community then rejoice when someone criticizes them, because they believe that
the criticism is 'persecution' they feel their 'holiness' and the rightness of their experience.
But the real persecutions suffered other. I was taken out of the family, children, love their grandchildren,
housing, etc..
I often hear stories from creepy: people stuck in their career or work, by
upper and managers who are catechists NC; professors damaged at school; Bishops transferred;
pastors hunted and many other situations.
Why did the bishops not to intervene in such a serious question?
I try to suggest some answers.
Some unquestioningly obey orders from above.
Others are impressed by the success and the warm participation of NC events organized by the
Pope
Some can no longer do without the monthly salaries of the sect.
All, however, will have to deal with their conscience and judgment of God
Why then the civil authorities do not intervene?
The only criminal law that could be called into question is the psychological plagiarism (art. 603
C. P.) which, unfortunately, in 1981, was declared unconstitutional because it does not clear. The Court
Constitutional recommended that provide himself as soon as possible to his reformulation. The request
of unconstitutionality was made by various religious sects Italian and foreign.
Why 20 years his reformulation is firm to the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the
Camera? I do not know what to say. I remember, however, that several lawyers NC they laughed at
face, saying: "You can not do anything about it, because in Italy the plagiarism does not exist anymore."
Psychological manipulation
The Neocatechumenal Movement is a group of Christian sectarianism. Like all sects, use a
attitude of intolerance combined with an aggressive proselytism. Imposes its own particular way
of thinking, feeling, acting, as the Church asks the man a consensus personal conviction and
responsible. The "constraint" is latent and not easily recognizable.
The Catholic Church in the Pastoral Note of the CEI of May 30, 1993, prepared by the Secretariat for
Ecumenism and dialogue, refers to the "brainwashing" in these terms: "A good reason is
can be seen that the sects and new religious movements normally appear closed to dialogue
prosthesis as they are to this Ad by means of propaganda who use psychological pressure
They tend to take the other party in order to achieve total and uncritical adherence, to
produce, in some cases, the plagiarism of personality. "And again:" It sometimes happens that initiates a
sect are bound by forms of coercion and supervision, until you get to real
limitations on personal freedom. In these cases there is located opposite to a successful imposed and
protected. "
In this document, therefore, explicit reference is made to the fact that in some groups are present
psychological pressure systems that do not respect the people.
In the Neocatechumenal Way there are choices that seem free, but in reality it
are. This also happens at the end of "coexistence" which concludes the cycle of fifteen
catechesis which introduce participants to the pre-catechumenate. Those who agree to start the CN,
since that time, without realizing it, in fact leave the Catholic Church to join a new
cult, whose doctrine and practice are in contrast to the former faith, while remaining convinced
to be orthodoxy, which is the guarantor of the passive figure of the priest-presbyter.
Who joins the Community NC, ignores the mechanism that, slowly but surely,
will lead him to be converted, and methods of formation which will be subjected to reach a
Total dogmatic and uncritical adherence to the principles of faith and religious ideology that proposed by the NC
will lead to a total plagiarism of his personality.
Some elements give the Movement NC, the taste of a cult. They are: the stratification
hierarchical rituals of access and 'pass', the ongoing verification of orthodoxy; commitment
totalizing; proselytizing.
Membership in the group is so exclusive that it is incompatible with participation in each
other expression of social life. The process of indoctrination is not practiced in the Movement
compatible with the Catholic faith and uses of psychological pressure that makes use of sophisticated
mechanisms that do not respect the person, who, unconscious and unaware of what is
going on, passively accepts everything.
The consequences of this conditioning in humans are deleterious and are retained even
when the catechumen left the group, marking an irreversible mental health
the weakest.
The term "brainwashing" was introduced in the early 50's by Edward Hunter
Jr., journalist correspondent in Hong Kong for a Miami newspaper, to translate a term
Chinese (brain-washing) which means "cleansing of the mind." It was a system of persuasion,
used to clear the mind of the Chinese from the old beliefs and "convert" to the ideals and
communist programs.
There were three phases of the process "thaw", with which questioned all their principles,
to the point to want to leave, "modification", which took place when the prisoner
beginning to glimpse the positives in the communist ideology and put on the heels of others
had accepted it, "refreezing", which was to convince them of the goodness of the new ideas
so that they were finally accepted. Then, to make them feel safer put them in
condition to prepare their defense, in case they were attacked. Thus prepared, hardly
could be swayed by others who had questioned the new position
in which they had lying.
Same technique is used by the NC movement in his recruitment. The fifteen catechesis
Introductory, in which is proclaimed the Kerygma, correspond to the phase of the Chinese
"Defrosting".
In the phase of the "thaw" it tends to destroy the certainties that members have,
especially if they are practicing Catholics. It is said that "The Church, sacrament of salvation, today in
parishes do not see anywhere, rather they are the offices, where people go to church, to
baptism, but they are not a sacrament of salvation "(1 SCR p. 31). And again:" Of those we
call Christians are a stumbling block to those who are no longer in the church "(1 SCR p. 62).
They ridiculed the spirituality recommended by the Magisterium: "Careful with certain concepts of God
Good that is all mercy ... type the Sacred Heart, with his hand and his face so retouched,
all sugar and honey, and all soavino tenerino ... "(OR, p..)" The Catholic Church is full of
paganism and idolatry "(PR p. 34)." ... in Rome with cardinals, the Curia ..., everyone goes about his business, there
there is no pastoral true: in Rome has never been a pastoral. It is the worst land in the world "(PR p. 183).
"We want to form a community which is in the parish sign. This community in the long run
changes the pastoral and the structure of the parish "(OR p ...).
These messages are well received by the weak of faith and disappointed by the Catholic Church
begin to believe that the true Church is the Community. Kiko says: "The CN is the church
itself, which is something very different from the group of the ladies of St. Vincent, by a group
of Catholic Action ... is a path which the Church because if you find that Catholic Action
does not bear fruit, and do not know where to go, you can in this way meet the faith "(1 SCR p.
55). "Do you think you will be scrutinized when you are in front of Jesus Christ, even though I am a fool,
a rogue, an idiot, when you're sitting talking to me, at that time you'll be talking to
Jesus Christ, we do a service in his name and God inspires us "(2 SCR p. 90).
At the stage of "modification" members begin to see the positive aspects of life
Community: interest and attention to those who show that they have a problem that plagues; climate
friendly and festive welcome, "cohabitation" with monthly intervals, which are met with
enthusiasm by members, as an escape from the "routine" daily. The Community is seen as something
good and accepted and appropriated. He begins to be a part of, a starting point of the spiral
that some scholars have identified and linked to the process of affiliation to sects. The individual
depart more and more from its background (family ties, social ties, vital values). A hand
as you participate in the Movement descends coil in turn, losing sight of each other
reference, just seeing the reality proposed by the group.
Third stage of the process: "refreezing."
At first, the choice to enter into the movement could somehow be free and conscious, but
when one is in, is dragged into a vortex from which it will not be able to dissolve and the
community will become the most important thing in his life.
Kiko says: "When you came into the community, even for you you were polytheists and the truth and the
life was work, family, the affirmation of yourself, your children, your company, the machine and between all
these things you were also the Community. At this point the Way, after four years, things
I'm a little 'different, and now, because you are convinced that these things do not give you all happiness, now
Lord can say, "Hear, O Israel, I am the friend, the others are not" (SH p. 72). "There is a lot
people that bother to go to the community, but they can not leave because the Word has opened
the truth of the world and now they can no longer sell because ... where would they go? If the salt loses
its flavor is useless now nothing but to be trodden under foot of men. Become a
unfortunate man, nor serve them because at least if I were like those who have not
known the catechumenate and do not know anything, then you alieneresti with TV or socio diventeresti
of Rome and you'll would go with the great illusion to see her play every Sunday. BUT YOU ARE
BEEN MARKED A FIRE AND THIS IS NOT YOU THE CAN 'TAKE NO "(SH p.
103).
With these words Kiko nails forever the Way adepts and has no qualms to launch
curses on those who, waking from the spell, in a moment of lucidity, they wanted
back: "... My brother, you can go back: but be careful! Beware brothers, because God
sent catechists concrete, who have said that they saw Jesus Christ. IF YOU GO
VIA THE BLOOD OF JESUS 'CHRIST FOR OUR LIABILITY WITNESS' ON
YOU. "(PR p. 412).
If the adept shows some signs of hesitation catechists the "hold" reminding him that he
put his signature on the Book of Life, that is a copy of the Bible in the Community, in the ceremony
known as the First Ballot. Then he was told that he was free not to sign and stop the
"The Way" sign meant salvation assured, do not sign lose her forever. "Now,
putting your name say your yes to the choice that God has done for you
eternity. Be glad for one thing: your names are written in heaven "(1 SCR p. 143).
The group becomes the prison in which all feel the catechists are free, but in reality
morally "chained". In this climate of psychological terrorism, held the "Ballots"
conducted by ordinary lay people, that replace the priest and are built to confessors of the brothers,
who claim to know the most intimate things in their lives, which in this way becomes heritage
of the whole community. Under the effect of "brainwashing" the catechumens are forced to donate
their assets. "Man looks in real life. For this community you sell the property. This is not
tell people why it should all be running "(OR, p. 50)." ... If the town is rumored that
to enter this community you have to sell the property, no longer in the catechesis "(2nd SCR, p.
97). In many partnerships the people rebel and does not intend to sell their goods and thinks he has to do
a elemosinuccia ... do not understand "(SH p. 96).
At the stage that the NC called "Second Ballot" Kiko come to ask catechists to peer
people according to these criteria:
if they changed mentality;
if you have tried with the goods;
if they did the Way.
It can be concluded that the problem is not in the Movement NC only content (definitely
incompatible with the Catholic faith), but also in the methods and techniques of indoctrination,
tending to the annihilation of personality and plagiarism people psychologically weak.
Final Appeal
How much longer do we have to wait, we, the victims of the wiles of the Movement
Neo-before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has decided to issue a
document that can stop Kiko, Carmen and their catechists who continue to spread their
false doctrine, domineering parishes, with the passive presence of 'priests' who
'Guarantee' the orthodoxy of their catechesis even if they feel heavy accusations against the Church
Catholic?
As long as you allow with your silence that continue to destroy families and parishes?
Why let the NC say that the Holy Father approves and blesses them when you know that
falsehood? And if the Pope knows what all they found, because let compromise
with dogmatic errors scattered in the "catechesis" of Kiko and Carmen, clear taste of heresy,
filoprotestanti, taught by lay persons deprived of an adequate theological training, in hours, even at night
and in an atmosphere of secrecy, with a psychological technique of indoctrination tends to
humiliate people by lowering self-esteem in order to make them more malleable and receptive to ideas
Movement?
And what of the serious spiritual and psychological consequences that many have to suffer, as the
loss of identity, insecurity and depressive that sometimes lead to suicide?
Those who would give up the Way can not. As one enters the group is
overwhelmed by the commitments and compromises and, therefore, suffers, is silent and obeys blindly
Catechists with curses and threats frighten those who show signs of hesitation. What
came out asking for help to the Church denouncing abuse but are considered lepers and
nobody listens to them.
With your reluctance, you discredited the figure of the Pope and you become responsible for
many sins of people who, disappointed by your attitude, they lose faith.
After more than thirty years he has known the doctrine of Kiko. The secret has been revealed thanks to
zealous churchmen who you know well and whose books were put in the same
your hands. The time is ripe. What is silence, cover and wait? It is perhaps the scandal
you want to avoid? We have to deal with God before the men of this land. Before
His judgment seat we must all appear: Pope, Bishops and Cardinals included.
It would be enough, without creating a scandal, that all bishops forbid: Catechesis of Kiko and Carmen
parishes behind closed doors with their pseudo-catechism: the Gospel must be "shouted from the rooftops", the
Catechism of the Church gave to the faithful is one!
The Eucharistic celebration on Saturday night: you know that the NC celebrate several Masses
simultaneously, one for each group.
This is against the rules that you have issued. In the pastoral note of the CEI, July 15, 1984, "The Day
the Lord, "urged" not to multiply more than just the number of Sunday Masses, and here and
there, even the festive masses on Saturday evening, "because this practice of" made contemporary, is
serious injury to the pastoral care and the risk of compromising the truth of the celebration
festive "?
Carry out their pastoral program: by forcing them to follow the pastoral program
diocesan or parish.
It 's time you will give us clear answers!
We are tired of waiting. Hurry up to take action before it is too late. We do not want
thinking of having been betrayed by our Pastors. SHAME WHAT IF betrayed CHRIST FOR
FOSTER KIKO!

LETTER OF A YOUNG FATHER EX catechumen
Hello to all of you readers of this site and all of you who are interested to understand what drives people
to take part in a diligent, confident and active, to the point to devote to this activity
Religious almost all the time of their day, and much of their economy.
How many of you have participated in this experience with the Neocatechumenal Way
My stay with them was about eight years old coming along with my small
community called to the stage of the second pass Currently my former community is starting
to the initiation of prayer and I, along with my wife and many other exiles we are
moving towards the recovery of the freedom and the reorganization of our lives.
I enjoyed reading all the criticisms that have been leveled to the NC and I must say that I share
fully. I am not an expert on Catholic doctrine, but in an attempt to avviarmi to the diaconate
permanent I found myself studying, though not in detail, the theology developed by
Catholic Church (forgive me for the lower case). I noticed that you do well in the description of the CN, which
you dwell mainly doctrinal aspect, ie the aberrations that contain the catechesis
neocatecumemato of the founders of the discrepancy and that the contents have over orthodoxy
Catholic. This way you want to highlight in the enterprise, albeit with good reason, and the difference
contrasts that are in motion with respect to the NC Catholic doctrine, it is certainly legitimate and
shared by many experts and those who attend institutions of religion, while
remain unaware all those who are unable for any reason to come into contact with the
doctrine defined authentic Catholicism.
At this point a question is in order.
And 'it possible that teaching work undisturbed for thirty years, with the consent of
parish priests, the pope, and especially of bishops and cardinals, it should be considered seriously contrary to the
ordinary teachings? Are not their own, that is, the prelates, even if in a different way, to decide
what is the right way to go? The people of God have his masters in the bishops, who by
God discernment to decide the good of the whole Catholic Church and the salvation of man. Now
I would like to point out that the work of the bishops is final because it is God who gives them
the intelligence to operate. So why a priest feels the need of having to give advice and
note these discrepancies to the bishops? Perhaps the disciple knows more than the teacher? The bishops dear readers,
are the most specialized of all in theology, it is they who have always been established, the doctrine
of the church, so they know every foundation of this doctrine.
So why they are called to be attentive to what creates the NC path, as if it were
actually born by the will and wisdom of two poor people who suddenly discovered the
best way to convert sinners with their catechesis. It 'something quite well known in the church
nothing happens if a Catholic priest does not want to imagine a bishop. So I think I can
conclude my first observation whereas the NC path came to life and is
could spread through the territory Catholic, and most importantly, the availability offered to him by the pope,
first, after the bishops, and priests later. Therefore it would be appropriate to put an end to criticize
always the same people, such as Kiko and Carmen, which, in my view, have followed their instincts
survival, finding a great partnership in the Catholic world especially, again, in those
persons responsible to safeguard the authenticity of the teachings. E 'on the latter that we must
drop all the responsibility for what harm this movement has produced in decades.
I would now like to express the analysis that I did on the success that the way NC has received, and
still collecting from the persons who take part. I might add at once,
clarity of purpose, that this success is due to the discrepancy in the Catechesis but that there is
rather for the content that they provide to the auditor, as, indeed, does not depend on the mode of
as they are given to the catechumens within the movement, behind closed doors and night
based, but is mainly due to the great charm that the whole movement as a whole plays
the collective to be the true church of Jesus Christ. To endorse this belief
is acquiescence to the movement and silence deliberately operated by the Church hierarchy in all
these thirty years. The focal point of this success starts from the belief that this is
gradually taking share in the itineraries of the neophyte: to be the church that Jesus chose in this
time to save mankind from sin. The fact that the ordinary lay people, mostly Catholics
practitioners, they are one day alone, gathered together by a common feeling, without oppression
authority responsible to manage every part of their religious life, such as the liturgy of the
word and the Eucharist, where in the latter, even the celebrant occupies a marginal place, day
itself, is already a reason for many of novelty and encouragement to continue on a path that
would seem to be miraculous. How is it that out of nowhere, simple employees, workers,
unemployed, housewives succeed in such a short time to get over all a sort bureaucratic
and sit in the chair where impart lessons of theology? How is it that the common
mortals can suddenly speak publicly and without being contradicted by anyone,
an assembly and alert and eager to know Jesus, explaining in their own way and alternating
among them, expressing their thoughts on Christianity. Here we are again faced
at the beginning of the Christian era where abounded interpretations of the person of Jesus and where all
felt called to join the discussion.
Termination of this historical period with the Holy Inquisition, the path opens within the NC
Catholicism itself a breakthrough for those who, in this church, have always felt
like outsiders. Yes, because in the Catholic Church hegemony is the pastor. Lay hold a
role of subordination and are called to passive participation in Church life and liturgical
the church, contrary to what happens in the community Kiko.
The road sweeps NC in one shot every ecclesiastical hegemony eliminating altogether 2000
year history of the Catholic Church, eliminating all forms of subordination of the laity to priests. The
participants are reclaiming the authority to manage their own spiritual life, to interpret the Bible
as they think best, creating themselves, and only with each other, a new church, in their view, is
the real one, which has its own charism, which is headed by the most charismatic of all, blessed and
willed by God, as Jesus flourishing: Kiko, the myth of Act Two, to whom we owe obedience and
respect.
The catechists of the path must move consistent with the guidelines laid down by its
founder, but only with respect to the steps. For the rest, every catechist and each participant is made
free to decide according to the discernment that comes from God, in regard to the degree and ministry
that place, because the catechumens their service as catechists is comparable to that of its
bishops. The participants decide who should take the leading role (manager) of the
community, such as organize partnerships and retreats, participate in the pastoral parish be
placed on the parish council, correct the brothers who are in error; decide who should
access the service of extraordinary ministers, who must be inspired by the songs, the various liturgies;
elect or confirm the person in charge, that the second step in then exercise the functions
a deacon, scrutinize and decide the penance shall be given to candidates catechumens; evangelize
new communities, raise new funds for the spread of Catholicism. All this has on
catechist a strong grip, so the earliest proponents of kikismo they often are these new
disciples of the third millennium, the catechists who, armed with so much interest and so willingly,
live to make the journey never ceases to move forward, even at the cost of large
sacrifices.
On the other hand it is of their own lives, offer many years of service to themselves, in an attempt to
built up more and more in a religious context that sees them as leaders of leaders towards a goal
municipality that is to be the true follow Jesus
The only duty to be paid is the tenth month, nothing compared to the privileges they get
exercising these functions. Over time you can see how the community Kiko sfoltiscono increasingly,
until reaching to mergers between them, to restore vitality following the successful decimation.
Many of those who remain are those who have developed an active role in
community as leaders, catechists, porters, singers, extraordinary ministers, as well as those
that have become available to enter the seminaries and convents. And all the rest of the community?
- How many people were at the start, the participants in this experience? 60,80,100?
- How many are now on the threshold of the second pass? 10,12,15?
- How many will be after a year or two from the second step? 7.10?
- How much does an average person to stay in their community Kiko every year? One
has an estimate?
- What is the cost in terms of time and effort, stopping in communities Kiko, because
each may grow in this journey of faith toward God?
- It 'possible that God wanted to concentrate on himself, in an absolute manner, the focus of these
people. distracts from all the other activities of social life? God wants all of them may lead
to holiness, or the economic poverty? Otherwise, how would establish the 'Domus Galileae'
and seminars, and replenish as bishops and cardinals acquiescent, if there were no people
this type, such as cows to be milked and squeeze like lemons? Perhaps it is here that
should look for the key of interpretation to understand the mystery of so successful that the
Way NC still collecting. An immense wealth that goes around the world, and is offered at
all those clerics that open in their dioceses and parishes the door to the neo-catechumenate.
Now I wonder: is it possible that the educated and well-prepared, as there are so many to guide
Catholics, do leave undisturbed for over thirty years as ignorant and backward
Kiko and Carmen, with their retinue of catechists not inculturated to Catholic doctrine, never put
seriously their end to this escalation in the Catholic Church. The parishioner normal
every day, with all his good will, can not distinguish the difference between the
Church of Kiko and that of the bishops, especially since both occupy the same territory
parish: the benches where they sit belong to the same church, and people responsible,
as pastors, ministers are authorized by the church. How can a simple parishioner
notice the difference that exists between a catechesis of Kiko and one a monsignor
even if the pastors perceive it? Indeed, it is precisely these that testify to their presence
that there is no guarantee of ecclesiology, which many simple, good spirits, full of enthusiasm
let themselves be guided by the way, to suffer unvero plagiarism as happened also to the parish of ...
despite its preparation. In these cases, the question arises: the pastor knows and is conniving, or
ignorant of the doctrine of the Catholic Church? What makes money in all this?
Now the crux of the matter, than you ever touched even in thought, should be the
following. It 's true, as is clear from your testimony that adducete proof of your thesis
to refute the doctrine of the journey twenty NC, that in addition to being consistent with the principles
doctrine of the church attorney also quite a few suffering the psychological and economic
those who participate, as are wasting their time and wasting their money behind the
way? The damage that the church hierarchy with the complicity of Kiko leaves perpetrate against
naive and gullible listeners are refundable? I read on your site that among people who have
left the way someone NC, as a result of plagiarism right away, took his own life. It 's true? Not
would be the case that you turned on the judiciary, so as to help all the people who
unconsciously, and driven only by the desire to redeem their lives are to be in
these situations of psychological distress to the point of having to resort, in many cases, to care
specialists?
In conclusion I want to say that my experience with the NC path is considered
generally negative for the following reasons:
1. Because it promises to take you on the experience of adult faith, and this never happens. Indeed, with
Over time it becomes more and more doubtful towards the faith, understood as individual choice,
free and rational. Grows, however, the sense of belonging to the movement and psychological dependence by
NC path to refuse any form of socialization possible.
2. Because it takes too seriously the people who would have the right to live a life of their own,
free from external influences and less dedicated to the research of trivial things, like the illusion of being
true Christians, the pre-selected, the saints, those who wear the white robe of the conversion increased
through the tribulation that you live in the path.
3. Why after so much time spent opening and closing the Bible, read the Gospel, to
admonish, to catechize, you are more ignorant than before, about the doctrine of the church, and does not develop
even the slightest doctrinal culture that could also be useful in the development of a
service within the parish or the diocese because, in fact, we learn things confidential
only way to NC.
4. Because in the end you realize that you are a man just looking for something that, perhaps, to look like
things are there and in the Catholic Church, there can be in that environment. And so you are
forced to migrate in search of new spaces and new ideas, free from personal interests that
reduce man to a human larva, as it happens in the way NC, where everyone depends on everyone, and
the lie follows lie. Slyly from the beginning not show and do not explain that
What are the catechesis for adults, and who actually gives, in the name and on behalf
whom, and for what purpose. In all this there is' a quiet but constant complicity with the catechists and
with Kiko by priests, first, and then the bishops and cardinals. The purpose is
simply to defraud the parishioner advantage of his good faith and his
enthusiasm in living Christianity. This thing is repeated in the Catholic church, as in all
other churches, from time immemorial.
In conclusion we must exonerate Kiko and Carmen and all the catechists of the way because they are NC
authorized and in many cases even encouraged, if not by the bishops personally, certainly by
their collaborators such as parish priests. So much so that before you start a new evangelization of the team
meets in the parish catechists to evangelize to receive the formal investiture by
the person in charge or his representative of the place, which gives full missionary mandate.
Something should be done, however, for all those people who are victims of this terrifying
deception are likely to be damaged economically and psychologically, giving away their
economic asset, even with just the tenth month, or because they give their lives,
becoming priests, after seven / eight years of brainwashing, suffered in the way NC. As waste
important part of their time in order to follow a magician who has been known to take the game,
first of the bishops, then the priests, and finally the most helpless people, and this, in a vain attempt
to follow Jesus!
In this case I would recommend to collect as much material as you can to prove the intent
fraudulent and deceptive, that the way NC, and contact the judicial officers to open
an investigation of the psychological and economic exploitation that occurs in the community Catechumenals,
to the detriment of the people.
I await a response from the mainly responsible for the site but also by all those who want to
undertake an initiative that aims to solve the problem.
Cordially greet all the readers.
Reply Don Elio
Thank you, Lello, the FAX sent to me on July 3 last year. You made me bring tears to the eyes for the
passion that has inspired you to write me with strength and sincerity of the tragic truth for you and
million people, 'unaware of the danger that lurks in the Catholic Church, have
challenging and costly experience of the Neocatechumenal Way for adults', and burning for
many in the Church have not been guilty of responsibility and informed and are not
occurred.
You sure you read only the summary of my book 'SECRETS OF THE WAY NC' because if I
read everything you would find answers to most of your provocative, but right questions.
Deliberately in my book there is an explicit denunciation of plagiarism and do not use the term
'Association with fraudulent intent' to which you do mention. The reason is twofold:
1) The Constitutional Court, dated 18.06.1981, held unconstitutional the art. 603 of the Code
criminal because 'imprecise and indeterminate' and recommended that the reformulation. The article
stated: "Anyone who submits a person to his power, in order to reduce total state
of awe, shall be punished with imprisonment from 5 to 15 years. " This absence has given
possibility manipulators of the mind to act undisturbed using more sophisticated techniques, without
any risk legal. Not an expert on the subject, I did just a few words and now expect
others more competent than me studying the phenomenon and to work together to expose him.
2) With regard to the status of 'association with fraudulent intent' and the duty to
unmask and denounce the court, I can share your thought, but I can not
go further, because I have never participated in any Community. My experience with the NC was
limited to service in the 'Penitential' and a People's Mission 'which revealed herself as the' Ad
of Catechesis'. In these confessions have often correct for many as they confessed to the
concept they had of sin and for personal irresponsibility. In 'Mission', then, after the
4 ^ I objected in writing to the conference 'priest' who led the team of 'missionary', serious
doctrinal errors that I could not tolerate were announced to my parishioners. While recognizing
in his good intentions and enthusiasm, bordering on fanaticism, I reminded him of his limitations
intellectual obvious to everyone. Has not responded to any of my complaints, but has run limited to say
that he trusted blindly in a 'priest' intelligent and good, and giving orders to
'Head of Mission' to curse me.
Here fits your speech on the objective responsibility of parish leaders, bishops,
Cardinals and of the Supreme Pontiff, who 'have strongly recommended and supported with
fervor every initiative of the NC '.
I believe that the NC are infiltrators in the Catholic Church, and who, by deceit have
presented to parish priests, bishops and the Supreme Pontiff himself, getting involved
accondiscendenze and recommendations. These secrets interest, combined with the ostentation of
'Fruitful', have played a soporific and delayed for more than thirty years, the Putnam
doctrines and practices that control, are essential ('unavoidable' as he now says the Pope in
letter to Cardinal Stafford, president of the Pontifical Council for the Laity) before accepting and
present as ecclesial reality this proposal Christian-Catholic.
The movement, however, with guilty connivance, has got to be able to open dozens of seminars in
around the world and to order, to date, more than 1,700 priests for this' New
Evangelization '. I can not share your outrage at this improper delay in
check 'your farm'. For five years now, finally, the Pope came to the attention of many
doctrinal errors and unorthodox practices and therefore gave the order, the Congregations competent
to take delivery of their texts (over 3,000 pages of mimeographed who had always denied to have
and below), to study them, fix them and continue to follow the movement in its activities
future. It is now five years since the Pope pointed out the 'inescapable obligations',
but the draft of the Statutes, resubmitted without taking into account the comments and suggested corrections
the Vatican Congregations, was rejected twice and repeatedly presented to
Following the urgent recommendation of the Pope to Cardinal Stafford was always rejected.
The last meeting was set for 6 (8) December 2001, but Kiko has not even presented.
In the following days there was a procession of Monsignori from the Vatican and bishops who have
went to Villa Kiko, to beg him to correct the dots 'unavoidable' which he made reference letter
the Pope and to accept the conditions proposed by the Congregations competent, but Kiko
has run always shown unwavering, especially for requests for corrections on the Eucharist and the
Reconciliation. At the same time, however, did spread rumor that would soon be adopted: the
6gennaio (as Javier), 13 (according to Kiko) Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, and now it is said by
February ...!
After the last letter of the Pope, some priest said: "As long as the Pope does not approve, you
you can no longer consider you as an expression of the Catholic Church. " Others (such as P. Bonaventura
Conventuals of Pescara) have torn with anger and indignation the Pope's Letter to Cardinal
Stafford, or have not made known to the members of their communities. The time is topical and has
decisive importance for the near future. What will happen? In my opinion, the NC multiply
their public appearances alongside the Pope, the bishops, and participate in conventions
such as those for the New Evangelization (formerly snubbed because they were not the
characters), as if to look for a legalization that is slow to come (and perhaps never will).
Continue to ignore the voices of dissent, such as yours and mine, and in the impossibility is
endeavor to diminish the value of inventing and spreading slander and discredit any defamatory
testimony. The 'priests', before enthusiastically involved, then compromise and blackmail made, it
will be in the unpleasant and humiliating position of having to admit mistakes, negligence and silence, and
have to come out to choose, so obvious to everyone, whether to stay with the Church of Jesus or
this sectarian movement.
They will not be easy or painless. Are difficult times for everyone, from those who have had the
more responsibility. But everyone must do their part. I poor country priest and
any culture, I tried to do and will continue to do my part indicating errors and distortions
as m'è given to find out. You and those like you have lived and suffered on their skin
this deception evil, you have to give 'with firmness and strength' to your testimonies, 'denouncing
even the courts' wrongs. At last, some theologians became aware
(Perhaps through my work) of this cluster of errors already authoritatively reported by the theologian
Passionist Enrico Zoffoli, and others will soon be made aware of these realities so far
unimaginable. Someone started. Now it is important to continue to speak out and challenge without
fear of 'losing' in this world if we believe in eternal life. Then the bishops and the cardinals,
perhaps before we come to the 'port sighed,' may decide to revise their judgments and
to assume their responsibilities.
It is not easy to bring these disputes to the general public. NC I have achieved a great
power, subtle but real, in the Church and outside the Church. Myself to publish this my
I have not found work collaboration between the Catholic publishing who did not want
'Compromise'. except the sign of Udine Edition. Only a few journalists lay so far have
provided to make their journal articles on: Giampaolo Di Jorio (Messenger), James Stapleton
(Jesus) and the Agency ADISTA n. 9/2002.
Even without the power of this world, each of us must do his part with courage and
not give up at the first difficulty.
Only then will the truth and the truth will triumph even justice, I hope. I am sure that he who
created this great deception and has tapped billion to the poor people to 'fill the coffers of the
Vatican '(When he had to say to Cardinal Ruini Kiko and 150 bishops gathered at the Circus Maximus for
gathering of Young NC at the end of WYD) will claim, of course, the refund with interest.
But the true is you cheated. But I can not imagine how you can be compensated. The Church
came to meet young couples seeking the declaration of nullity of their marriage,
paying almost the full costs. Something like that, but in proportions enormously
more could be done for the millions of people who, misled, have given with
trust their property to the 'Church', as he was led to believe them. It 'utopia, of course, but I dare
hope that something will happen.
Hello Lello. With respect and sympathy for your frankness. Don Elio.
I preferred the wide-ranging letter appeared on the website instead of the peppered e-mail sent to
me personally, because it focused mainly on the responsibility of priests. I
fact that in the Church we must all feel responsible and do everything possible to prevent violence,
plagiarism and injustices of all kinds, from anywhere come. I tried and I try to make my
part, but also to you, the Lord demand an account of your brother, and then how you answer!?
LETTER OF A YOUNG MAN TO HIS BISHOP
Dear lord, I am a thirty year old guy of your diocese and I am writing this letter to
I tell you what is happening.
I am the son of an ordinary family, the son of parents who have spent their lives in the service of
family grew with the intention to capitalize on the valuable lessons taught by my loved ones and
by Catholic doctrine, which has ingrained in me, faith, hope and well-defined guidelines.
At some point in my life I met a girl the same age, the daughter of simple people, a
family very similar to mine.
Among us has blossomed the flower that is called love. A great privilege to find a believing woman
in the values of the Christian faith: I felt really lucky. So I began to attend
this girl, smart, graduate, sensitive, working in a group, even as
responsible. Although I did not know what was the Neocatechumenal movement, I always thought
a group similar to those of Catholic Action, which for many years I have attended yet I,
totally ignoring what I turned out to be. Some abnormal behavior, such as commitments
progressively more frequent meetings with up to five times a week and days
whole of cohabitation, a progressive drying up of family relationships and friendships, so
deny its presence in ceremonies and sacraments, a detachment from the problems and
the responsibilities that life puts us today, a hostile attitude to dialogue if I
ask information or comparisons on the practices and doctrines of this movement are the elements
triggers that, in addition to strongly affect our relationship, I was motivated to
deepen my knowledge.
At first I spoke to the priest of the Neocatechumenal community, because
m'illuminasse and so I could, to give me peace.
I wanted to be present at the meeting my girlfriend, just to emphasize the desire to get
under discussion, limpid and serene. The priest, albeit very subtly scolded me
not to be a good Christian, a good Christian because, as my girlfriend is the neocatecumeno
that offers exclusively and absolutely the first place to pray to God, regardless of
any other needs and commitment. Everything comes after! He said, "you see, if you choose to pay
assistance to your father who needs care or go into the community to pray with the neocatechumens is
just go to pray, God will take care of your father Or, "to go and pray, the children are left
the baby sitter. In our communities, parents, among other things, with many children, behave that way. The
works will also be good but the only thing that saves is faith. "
I immediately thought of the sacrifices of my parents in tackling poverty, dedicating himself totally
without reserve to the family and those who manifest some need, educating me and my
brothers Christian charity, volunteering, listening, sharing, work as a service, the
all accompanied by prayer. But in the opinion of this priest, this faith made of
sacrifices, services and works towards his brothers, is the faith of series B!
These statements are rimbombate inside me, probably due to my ignorance theological
and my faith 'simpleton', but failing now, even more to give me peace, I
told before with my family, then with the pastor, then with the other priests
diocese with specific knowledge, finally making contact with associations and priests to
national level, for years dealing with and write about this subject. I'm still amazed at how much
revealed itself to me! In addition to finding a key to so many questions that I had more and more
frequently, because of the anomalous behavior listed above, I found many examples of
priests and faithful humble. It seems to me that everything is cloudy: contemporary celebrations for each
community, strictly closed (occasionally I could attend Mass with more than a few
problems, with regard to the meeting instead of the word mid-week, categorically not
I was never allowed) celebrations in basements that even more give a sense of closure and
occult. In the future, the beautiful churches we have and so infuse spirituality will be
torn down and we will be praying in the garage of our homes? Mass for them is just for them,
Saturday evening, almost night, with certain rites and forms that you know.
A few weeks ago began the "catechesis" for the "conversion" of new souls. I had
how to read the warnings affixed to the doors of the church, I heard the celebrant after Mass
He urged the faithful, I heard the testimony of a young couple who years ago attended
catechesis benefiting indescribable. I agree, but in any sheet and no mouth is
out the term "Neocatechumenal movement." Yet catechists are neocatechumens and
doctrine is that impart the neocatecumena. What makes a movement and the people who
not adhere to proclaim to the world who you are? Maybe you want to hide something? I attended
meetings: the first night and only this. at the center of the speakers was put a friar. Its
intervention was limited to a gentile 'Good evening', but its presence has given official status and legitimacy
to the movement. After a poor assumption on the meaning of "Neocatechumenal Way" (nothing
more than you might find in an encyclopedia), started the reports by the catechists,
which are defined theologically ignorant, not having made special studies, but enlightened.
They say: "We want to tell our experience rediscovery of faith, our process
re-Christianization. " It 'depressing to note however, that these people recite, not
their experiences, but the talk of Kiko collected in the text "Guidelines for the teams of catechists for
the conversion phase. " One night after I brought home the lyrics, and I can assure you,
that exposures shall also comply with commas. But these texts are not one of the reasons for which the
movement, twice, was refused his status? But then this can still
called catechesis? But then these people so you can define zealous catechists enlightened?
We are talking about the same church or another parallel? If it is the same, which is the intention:
unite or divide?
I understand because of the lack of a statute, the Holy Father has delegated to you the Bishops
guide this transition phase.
But it seems that this situation "intermediate" is beneficial only to the movement, which found support in
some areas, continues to act freely, putting on display the priests complacent,
long as they remain in strict and absolute silence (as I note in the reflections) or respect the role
assigned by the NC doctrine (as stated in the masses) and, of course, putting in bad
light people like you, tried to give precise rules but hinder their
practices.
I have read the provisions of the Holy Father (us last April) and also your, Dear
Monsignor, was the last Easter that I wondered why the vigil that night
could be celebrated in the diocese of ... but bisognasse go to ... Now maybe I know, but
certainly, you know priest much more. I will not make judgments about other aspects such as
"Donations", the "tenth" and "manipulation of the mind." There manifest only my regret in
note that in Italy there are some family members of militants, forced to resort to exposed and complaints, such
to initiate investigations by the prosecutor. The exasperation which now it has come, has produced
just last September, the launch of a petition with the aim of re-introducing the crime of
plagiarism. These are the fruits of the Catholic religion? I believe not, but I can not pretend to
not having seen and heard nothing.
That's why, Dear lord, I decided to write you, accennandoVi only a part of this
my sad story, with the hope and prayer that you, among his many activities, manage to find a
small space of time and show me Vs thought. I want to say also that I do not live
this story just as problematic torque, but above all, and I emphasize above all, as
willingness to understand where are you taking me this faith of which I founded the guiding principles of my life
and that so far I have tried with my humility and my limits, to witness to others. Therefore,
regardless of the fate that will be up to my report, my conscience forces me to see and
understand, knocking now at your door and then those that are needed.
I believe that a person is free to make the choices that they consider most appropriate and as such, must
be respected. But you need to know to choose. It 'duty to inform the movement
members and aspirants, it is the right of these, to be informed.
Waiting for a nod VS I offer my greetings and I thank you for reading this.
Fiorenzo
This young man has been answered adequately by his bishop and although he did shocking discoveries,
is, and will always remain a believer.
How many others, young and not so young, priests and laity, are still waiting for a response that is slow to
coming!!?
TESTIMONY OF A FORMER - Neocatechumenal NOSTALGIC
Dear Father Elio, thank you for your patience in listening to me you've always got the phone, and
for the help and the strength you have given me and my wife when we were about to leave the
Way, and for the support they continue to give us because we do not have to feel alone! Your book has
made me understand many things. Now I would like esternarti what still haunts me remembering the life lived
the Path.
I would like to begin by saying that I think the question very well reveal the true purpose of the Way
that we were made each time we had to make a pass. The question was: "You before
Way, as you were? Tell facts. " I think this question would have you believe that the CN
was to be the center of the life of the faithful or the adept. Evidence the message you want
pass was: "In the beginning there was darkness. Now there is light, thanks to us and our catechists
catechesis. " When we had to respond to this as similar questions, we
designed with transport and exaltation to the 'crap' how we were .. and all those 'slaughter' that
we had done in our lives. So they spoke catechists and made us believe that it was
a great grace to have met them .., and you were enlightened by the Community.
Many years in the community, one that most comes to mind is crap, the
sense of contempt and many other negative words that were repeated with great exaggeration to
exasperation. Transported Community experience that we were living, we were all
according to a plan approved in the central figure of the catechist. This design is realized
in the ordinary life of the Way and the various steps, when analyzing the gifts and graces, for
shed light on our lives and see clearly what we really are. These gifts and these
because there were revealed by the catechists who judged our work spiritual seconds
criteria established by the Way and that we were strangers. Over the years there
was identified more and more with the advice we were given by the catechists who c'invitavano to
peer deeper and deeper into our lives and invited us to welcome the Word of God
that would reveal our ills and negativity harbored within us, together with the latent
devil.
According to the Way we should not shock of our lives, or what we are, or
what the catechists say about us.
Very often the same catechists, with a prophetic spirit, we repeated the notion that the design of the
salvation, sometimes passing through the experience of sin, because then the grace of God lifts up easily.
In my opinion within the CN is also something good: the indoctrination through readings
evangelical, historical research on biblical figures, the spirit of prayer that must pervade the
our lives. This helped us to grow in faith and made us become aware of the appearance
religious of our lives.
But all this was completely driven by a compulsion to catechesis and a pedagogy that
standardizzava all, making us obey blindly and answer questions from the catechist
touched his awareness and intimate life. This happened as a sort of inquisition
made in the light of some word taken from the Gospel. Catechists scrutinized and dug inside
us, in family relationships or interpersonal. In turn, then, had to be introspective and
analyze the actions most intimate,
committed in the name of our idolatries that had affected our lives or the lives of others. The
answers, then, we had to write on a sheet. Some answers were read in public, sometimes
even in the presence of a priest. We were given an address authoritarian and we had to
welcome all with great reverence. In those moments the catechists had a similar behavior
to that of a psychologist or a spiritual guide. Their direction and bordered transfigured the
prophetic mandate. They felt and presented themselves as sent by the Church and boasted of
this endowment, and this mandate.
It is not my intention to argue, but I remember that sometimes, during the polls, someone was
subjected to an almost torture.
The thing that most surprised was the silence of the priest, who did not intervene even in those
moments. Not all the priests who were present at these polls behaved well. Someone
had the courage to speak out about some things, but has been criticized and discredited. The
catechists, then condizionavano the brothers of the Community by suggesting that those who do not support
this reality, can not understand the spirit of the Way, and added that the CN was approved by the
Pope and the Church, that soon would also approved the Statute fully recognizing
this type of religious movement. Sometimes even invited some priest does not NC, but it was
only to preside over the Eucharistic liturgies, the Word or penitential liturgies. All this in
order to give a sacred image and at the same time, to give credibility to the Way and its
work among men.
One thing I was very bad: the isolation! At some point I began to express
doubts about the Way and report things that seemed very questionable. Also
other brothers have shared these my doubts, but when close to the doubts I have put the idea of
leave the Community, all around me made himself into space. The same 'brothers' with which over the years
we shared many community experiences, so many moments, so many preparations and parties
liturgical many birthdays and picnics .. ., All turned their backs on me. I do not have more
called, as they once did, not even feel like I was.
Actually, someone called me, but only to invite them to live together in the presence of
catechists, because I had the chance to compare them with my doubts.
I think our only life, it is right to have the courage to take their
responsibility. It 'just that we ourselves choose, having to be accountable only to God and to
our confessor. It is not written anywhere that you have to rely on a secular and be guided
blindly by him without the slightest doubt against him and against what he
he says. As a lay person can claim that I have to say things about my intimate sphere,
family, or my conscience? I do not write this by accident. Over time had seemed to me
that the only important thing in the Community, safe and reassuring it was just what we were
that catechists. The courage to judge for themselves was regarded as a
rebellion or as a demonic temptation that once stood in front of our life. But rebellion
those who, for what? I was wondering myself.
I remember with sadness that those leaving the Community (which always occurred at the passage)
was pitied for his choice and found a weak and looked with mercy. When someone
wanted to get out of the Community, catechists, with a prophetic spirit, the prospettavano what would
become his life if he had not followed the Way more and told him he had to follow their
advice because they were righteous and truthful. They presented themselves as angels, prophets sent by
If God then someone abandoned the Community without heed their warnings threatening,
then tried to give a sense of security to those who remained in and as additavano
a renegade, as (in the words of coarse) one who has renounced their faith those leaving the
Community.
This is why we so afraid to leave the community!
I wonder what happens inside the head of the Orthodox faithful Neocatecumenale, which is
into in good faith. I think, first of all, the need to remember and consider very seriously, what we
was said in some passages, namely, that between us and God there was an Alliance that had
enshrined in putting our signature on a sheet that had been placed over the Bible of the Community.
All this had happened in the transition and in the rite of the Second Ballot. It was a covenant made
directly with God through catechists, as prophets. and the presence of the priest.
This is only one of the points of conditioning. Others were proclaimed with data from the expressions
strength, such as "Out of the Community there is a religious reality that tell you about how our
directly of your life! There is a Way that leads you to live the Word of God which is
embodied in your story! However, if you decide to go, brother, do it now Come on! Get up and
go! But remember one thing: the Lord today has passed and you have not received! Today you open the
your heart! You can convert!
Come on! We are coming to you. We came to bring the kerygma that the Lord died, but for
you, for me, was resurrected. It is not true that your life is a mess: now you can change! You can
lean on this cross! Do not look at the smallness of your catechists!
We are sent by the Church only to bring you a message: you can do it, you can
raise! If you now decide to leave the Community, know one thing (and we have to tell you,
that now you are in salt in your family, among your colleagues. Get out of here you may become tasteless,
trampled by your story, trampled by all. "
In order not to make it too long, these are some sentences here and there by catechesis and warnings
catechists made by some brothers. I wanted to write them down to give an idea of the psychological climate and
the presumption of certain statements.
Another thing made me feel so bad. During the meetings (which always took place in late
evening) in various questions were questions like: "You pray? How do you pray? By the
tithing each month? Why not take the tenth? ". All of this for me was crazy! There was a
modicum of respect for others. Now, as I write this testimony, I seem to
exaggeration, but it is just what I have experienced and I have heard all these years!
Another disturbing aspect made me think a lot. If any brother pointed out
apparent contradictions between what he said and what the catechist said the spiritual director,
poor man was severely reprimanded. I remember a sister who is exposing a problem
family nature, he pointed out a clear discrepancy between the advice that they gave and those of
confessor. The catechist then pointed out certain things of the past, that her sister had revealed in
famous secret ballots, throwing the anathemas such as: "You can not talk because seeds
discord within the Church! Know that your way of doing just leads to summon the Spirit
Holy because He defends the Church! So I admonish you telling you: Do what we tell you!
And if you do not happen to you straight from the ... and that ... ". Angry and desperate, dear sister came
in crisis for a few weeks, but unfortunately returned to apologize to the catechist
riconfermandolo so, the prophet of his life.
When I think of that episode makes me think that I walk in the catechist is like a
father and the Community as a mother protector. Each member is always linked to its
umbilical cord, well anchored to the father catechist.
Sometimes I can think of tragicomic situation that I have seen: proselytizing among
the same family; exaltations of hierarchical positions given by the catechists to some brothers. In some
relaxing moments spent together a few 'brother' confirmed catechist m'è happened to talk
of God or of the Community. Everything was fine as long as you agree, but as soon as the speech touched
the Way and the opinions diverged, then the brother changed tone of voice and embodied the
catechist, both in speaking, that nell'atteggiarsi.
I also noticed a widespread depersonalization. I was struck by the vocabulary of phrases and
statements typical of the Way. With the passing of time, through a long process, almost all
the brothers conformed to the typical way of speaking of the Way. It is not my intention to throw
discredit on the Way because I've seen too many good things and I have no valid instrument of
a theological heresies in order to counter some of the bottom. I hope, however, that the brothers
have the courage to doubt, not being influenced, to regain possession of their lives,
choose according to their conscience.
I realize that now I miss him so much a group, a community, in order to continue to have
religious education. But now I see in my family a great opportunity for training
Community. Here I compare myself with my wife, their children, and by the grace of God that I experience
lived in the Way has certainly influenced me. I realized that the Neocatechumenal Communities (or
other religious group that tend to do) should have the sincere intention of opening of
more: they should deal with other realities and always put into question. In the case of
Neocatechumenal Way, then, should no longer continue to analyze, to see only defects
esasperandoli. Should cultivate and nurture optimism. They should have the ability to not
take itself too seriously, to downsize, to seek peace and serenity in the group.
In summary, it seems to have found so much pessimism in the Community. His brother lives catechumen
for twenty years experience in confused state that makes him focus his life on the catechist who
the plasma, making it fragile, insecure, in need of security, that only the catechesis of Kiko, transmitted
catechists with authority and slavishly, aid him.
The Neocatechumenal Way is an experience truly mortifying!
Dear Father Elio, here is what I felt the need to write to you to give you a way to understand my
mood, and have yourself a paro1a driving and comfort!
Thank you for everything you have done for us and for the enlightening words that you still want to
direct us!
I ask his blessing for me and my family ..
T. M.
FINAL THOUGHTS
If these are the fruits, who knows what will be the plant that produced them!
What to think of the many bandied about as good (conversions, seminaries, priests, itinerant), but
Products from the same plant?
In confirmation of my concerns carry a summary, a letter appeared on the website:
[email protected] that Mgr Luigi Bommarito, Archbishop of Catania, sent to NC
of his diocese.
After thanking God "for the richness, variety and vibrancy pastoral encountered in
Parishes, in religious life, in associations, movements and combinations
Church "of his diocese, in tune with the Holy Father, he considers combinations of the faithful as
'God's gift', a wave of grace, receives them with gratitude and enhances responsibly.
As a pastor, he was always there to encourage, to bless, encourage, promote and
correct aspects and expressions of concern (down or up), followed by the CN
esteem and affection, but also with some concerns, discussing problems with managers, both inside
and outside the Diocese. But points out that many doubts remain of a theological-pastoral and,
these are found everywhere, in many local Churches Italian (and not only Italian) is
in terms of ideas and in terms of concrete experiences with suffering.
Delaying the approval of the Way by the Holy Father, he considers it appropriate to clarify and
give accurate responses to requests for clarification so far remained unanswered. Having attended
catechesis as a priest in Monreale exposes them the reasons that have always puzzled me,
and lists some aspects of the Way that seem in need of "necessary, relevant and urgent
explanations. "
1. The catechist embezzles of judicial authority which is proper to the priesthood
Ministerial. AI priest is recognized (granted) the religious function and functional
Holy Orders, mortificandolo and almost deprived him of the judicial function which is natural
an integral part of the order.
2. On the Way s'insiste heavily on the nothingness of man and the inability to open, without
the help of the Neocatechumenal Way.
3. Citing speeches and testimonies of many Bishops, noted that it continues to celebrate the
Private Mass on Saturday evening and the Easter Vigil of creating confusion, discontent and discomfort pastoral;
giving importance to the exclusive participation of the most qualified, shares, and contrasts the faithful in
Parallel churches (one of series A and the other B-series) unable to recognize brothers.
4. While the gifts should be for the good of all in the parish, the NC (and other movements)
exploiting the common good to ensure their charisma, absolutizing choices and imposing the
Their method as if it were unsurpassed and unique compared to all others, and (for some) the only
salvation.
5. Noted with bitterness that in parishes, where there are the NC, it is not easy
coexistence and cooperation with the other ecclesial realities. E 'need to tune with
plan and with the addresses of the Shepherd of the Diocese.
6. The message of Jesus is free and liberating, while the CN shows uncompromising and seems
walking on the imperative categorical, falling into a fundamentalist fundamentalism which encourages
divisions and separatism, creating dangerous ghettos and chapels in the Church of God, born to be
one great family of the Father.
7. The 'Ballots' made by a layman, often scarnificano consciences with questions that no-sun
confessor can do. For centuries the Church has abolished the public confessions!
8. In his Letter to Cardinal Stafford, the Holy Father asks attentive and careful discernment in the light
address theological and pastoral.
The judgments on the quality of the Way are not always all agree, and therefore demands a lot of
reflection before continuing the Way in a safe and definitive.
Having acknowledged the presence of the Spirit of Jesus that led them to do pastoral work
worthy of admiration because they are made with sacrifice of time, emotions, money and gestures
missionary zeal for the good of the parish community, he asks clarity and appropriate
changes in the practice of pastoral calls to change what is modified bile, to correct what
it is necessary and urgent to correct, to live peacefully together with all the faithful of the parishes,
in communion advocated by Jesus asks to review the steps taken to review and to
make them authentic, in the light of the Conciliar ecclesiology, the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
Guidelines for the Pastoral Plan of the Italian Episcopate and the guidelines of its
Shepherd. This parish communities await the charism given by the Lord to NC and that is
Hopefully, it is recognized by the Spirit through the approval of the Statute, for years presented to
Holy See.
These reflections are of a bishop who, in conjunction with other Bishops, has experienced
personal notes two parallel churches, and considers it as serious enough to feel the need
to intervene, despite the breezy, imminent approval of the Statutes. And the other Bishops
know these things? If they know, why do not intervene! Who is able to understand!

Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ only urge you to read this mail will not be teaching anyone but who wants to respond to certain false affarmazioni contained in your testimonianze.Io my name is Thomas, I am in charge of a community of Teramo (not the catechist, the two things are separate and confuse some of your email) My experience is the result of 11 years of Way Neocat. Someone might say then that my defense of the Way is the result of indoctrination.'s no denying that it is plausible so this my mail only to refute the miro of the things I have read on your site and what is objectively false and easily controllabili.Vi urge henceforth to publish this missive of mine at least as to demonstrate that your aim is the search for truth and not only removing the Cammino.Quello that I would assert is that if there are errors in the Way (and surely there are), they will soon be adjusted by our Holy Church Madra that very soon will allow the Statutes our cammino.Se ignored what are the Statutes is surprising to learn that they are the true recognition it is essential that the Church gives to movement thus cease to be such to enter definitively into the mystical body of Chiesa.Per instance are statutes that govern those who Franciscans, Dominicans etc. are orders ecclesiastici.Con this I mean to say my sympathy to all those who have had real problems created by the community and catechisti.I catechists are nothing more than men, and as such can be wrong and even molto.Questo not affect in any way the that is the Lord have inspired the Cammino.Ulteriore proof is the huge amount of vocations in the way the Holy Spirit suscita.Forse someone can claim that it is the Holy Spirit to accomplish this? Maybe someone can light-heartedly support which is the Devil to create new priests? Christ Himself in the Gospel rule it out. ("If a kingdom is divided against itself will not destroy perhaps? can Satan cast out Satan?) angustio not further your attention and proceed with only disprove things read in the emails sent to you who claim easily disproved lies
-It is alleged that the commitments are multiplied up to occupy the entire space of the individual's life. But is not that Christ should permeate every moment of our day? Then since the membership of each meeting is completely and forever spontaneous means that if your life becomes busy all the time is because you will find true life, eternal life , it's because something is supporting you and you spinge.Altrimenti who you oblige to leave everything.
-It is alleged that there are public confessions Nothing + falso.Il sacrament of confession is what it is and never ever someone is obliged to make public their peccati. Someone claiming this is a false
-Some say that the solutions of a person's life are just a marriage or sacerdozio.Niente of + false: there is one of the charisms + important of all: the itinerancy (leaving for a destination too far with the sole purpose of proclaiming the Gospel) not these are perhaps the only charisma covered by the Church? There are others? Check also the adult catechism
-Someone asserusce that if one spouse is not in the way he forces' "adept" to impose divorce fatto.Questa + liar is what you could argue as if the spouse has a brother out, and after years still do not approaches the Church catechists decide that it is preferable that you do not get + in the community for a couple of years to be alone next to your spouse.
-Someone speaks of the duty to give 10% of their salary for catechists itineranti.Ebbene he has never been on the road if you do not know or not to know that the term must not exist in the community, rather it is synonymous with Fariseismo.Nulla is dovuto.Il 10% is true is given, but each secretly putting in a collection bag what they want, often just nulla.Quel 10% of which we speak is an institution of the Church called decima.Anche Jews of 2000 praticavano.In years ago, the community of Christ the phrase "do not know what the right makes the left" is a dogma
-There is talk of an Easter preceded by two days of rigorous fasting (mandatory). Reply to this infamy even as it speaks for sola.Potete ask the brother who first encountered the lie to that claim
-There is talk of the Bacchic orgies agapi post-Easter and people who vomit for too cibo.Forse someone with the strength will be there until ingozzarli vomitino.Concludo here my mail col'asserire that the testimony titled "THE NETWORK SPIDER "was evidently written by q1ualcuno Way that has never set foot, and I really do not do a good service with many brothers who have approached Way after years in the sacraments and the Chiesa.Vi thank you in advance for a publication that I can hardly fare.Che to the Lord may enlighten you.

TERAMO
Dear brother in Christ Jesus,
and 'the first time in my life that I would give the "you" to someone who does not know, but I do (with respect) just because you wrote a letter naive and in good faith (so' I hope) me and you looked very young and inexperienced, as are my poor children and grandchildren, swallowed up in the sect that affects you and betray your good faith.
I thank you for your letter, not only embarrasses those who want to seek the truth, but it gives me the opportunity 'to clarify some things, and' readers of the site to which you wrote the opportunity 'to expose the serious lies they tell simple-minded like you!
I am the author of the autobiographical book "The Canvas of the Spider", my name is Augusto Faustini, I have 58 years, I am a chief administrative officer of a large company Roman public.
I am at your disposal, as well as to the persons who appoint, and available to those who want to sue me in civil or criminal, before the civil courts or ecclesiastical.
I walked into your organization in 1985, became Vice-Head of a Neo Catechumenal Community (my wife), I remained there four years, I have always followed the neo catechumenal life through my children (3), my wife, my daughters (3), my grandchildren (7), and various friends, so I have an experience of 17 years, against your 11, and so I know the difference between a simple "responsible", which is a performer orders of Catechists and controller of the simple followers, whereas the "TEACHER" is the powerful and authoritarian executive decision maker of all communities of the parish, which has the charism received directly from God, which makes him feel entitled to give orders to the parish priest and even to the Bishop.
We all know what are the statutes of your organization. They are the ones who rejected three times by the Vatican departments, they did remain illegal in the "Neo Catechumenal Way," both because it provides non-Catholic teachings, because it is organized as a secret sect implementing the mental conditioning.
You are right that the statutes are indispensable, and that 's why when Kiko tried to override the normal practice of Our Holy Mother Church, the Holy Father said that examinations of Vatican departments are "unavoidable obligations"! (Letter of the Holy Father to the President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, Cardinal Stafford, April 5, 2001).
I had a wife, three kids, a family, a nice house, a political career, a life.
The Neo Catechumenal Way took my marriage, the family, the house, he destroyed the whole life!
And I'm not the only one. Many others have completely abandoned the Catholic Church, because they mistakenly thought that really the "Way" was the new way of the Faith.
But I decided to give my testimony until 'I live, groped at least to save my children and grandchildren.
And do not tell me that errors should be downloaded on the shoulders of individual Catechists colpevolizzandoli, in order to fulfill the "method" of Kiko Arguello!
E 'instead of the method itself and that' obviously wrong. And 'the psychological enslavement that creates fundamentalism, like the one that forced my wife to drive me to my house just to stay in the "Way", while stuffing of the children and the grandchildren, the daughters and relatives!
You say that your organization is not totally takes over the life of the followers?
But you know that my children I can meet for lack of time?
But did you know that some grandchildren I have made them known?
You say you do not exist Confessions public! And what I had to do publicly for 4 years? And those who publicly ago my wife and my children do for 17 years? What are they? Spontaneous verbal outbursts?
You say that the followers are not forced to get married? It 'worse! My children have been forced to marry girls inside the Community. And who had known the girl out and 'been obliged to insert in the Community! Even the same "itinerancy" (a financial benefit of the organization) is carried out by priests must catechumenal neo or neo catechumenal couples!
You say that if a couple has a spouse in the organization and one that does not want to come out, the interior is sent by his spouse, to save your marriage! Why Spread these vile falsehood? I challenge you officially! I names.
Lawyer Franco Voltage (big Super Catechist Neo Catechumenal, dignity equal to the Bishops), officially promised me that, to save the marriage, would have convinced my wife to return to her husband. The lady made fanatical by your organization, did not obey, or the "bishop" Lawyer Franco voltage, or the Catechist (supreme leader of the Neo catechumenal the parish) Dr. Roberto Piermarini, let alone the true Bishop Clemente Riva.
The pastor at the time, Father Dominic Paiusco, the "Josephites of Murialdo", 27 April 1992, at 17, in the parish of St. Leonardo Murialdo, Via Pincherle, 144, Rome, impressed by the great faith that my wife had taught Kiko, I communicate 'officially, on behalf of the vertices Roman organization, which my wife and I had to stay for ever separated, as shown by S. In his First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 7, verses 12 to 15.
I precise that I was a believer, I attended the St. Mass, I got communion, I taught catechism to children (so I was really a catechist, although neo catechumenate), yet I was considered a pagan 'cause I criticized the Neo catechumenal!
My wife, assisted by older children and recommended by Super catechists, I took the keys of the house and I chased 'away from my home, because the Neo catechumenal had found Christ!
In this case, as always, the leaders of the new organization catechumenal lied! The family does not matter in your world.
I, my dear Thomas, tell you what I "tried on my flesh," not the talk of Kiko and Carmen. Do not excite me the banners performed before the Pope and I do not get the moving "offerings - salary" as some people are priests and bishops.
I, dear brother, Gianluca, I paid for 4 years 10% of my salary, my family for 17 years will pay it! The mental conditioning and 'so strong that it is not' necessary to speak explicitly of "duty" when you are at home Catechists and say, "you're late with the payment!" "The Lord is counting on your detachment from money!"
You remember the words of the Lord when he said: "I do not know the right that the left is doing.'s Right. But this is true for the ALMS, as a form of Charity. 'Not valid for large rents in the churches! Otherwise mistaken to Our Blessed Mother Church when requiring all parishes in the management of income and expenditure by a special Economic Council parish!
You are right when I dispute the assertion that say Easter 2 days of absolute fast! It 's true are 2 and a half days, from Thursday evening (at 22) to Sunday morning (6 am).
It 'a shame that literally want to keep it secret! I do this immoral fast to my loved ones, in absolute fanaticism, every year!
My first son, head of the community, a month ago, 'was abandoned by his wife because she could no longer live in hypocrisy Neo Catechumenal Way! Three years of marriage = three children to show off!
But tell me, when Kiko is going to sleep in his bed, in the princely villa stands the Castelli Romani, if he does the examination of conscience?
I really feel like the Lord has enlightened you write a letter in which allowed me to clarify necessary to clarify fully the danger for the Church and for society 'civil to your organization.
Do not worry if your Maxi Catechist scold you for writing to us. They're always so ', because they will not ever lead to confrontational situations. And then you can say that you were wrong, because you are a sinner, and the "Way" can do no wrong.
If you, like many others who have been with you for many years, you will find the strength to free them from the yoke, know that in the Church there is always true that you will love, as Christ has taught us.
May the Lord enlighten you.

Neocatechumenal
Testimony of a lived experience
by Mr. Augusto Faustini
We invite the reader to read, prior to this, the presentation of the Neocatechumenal made on this site with Article
"Neocatechumenal Way - WHO I AM - WHAT THEIR" BELIEVE "- what to think"
Underlining, bold colors and are generally present.
I am 53 years old, upper middle culture, work as a civil servant in a public agency. I had a wife, three sons, now have 28, 27 and 19 years. I had a nice house to "Montagnola" doing politics, I was adviser to the 3rd District office, collaborated in various initiatives parish. I had a boundless faith in the Catholic Church, the communion often did. The experience changed me radically neo catechumenal life: I have nothing!
What I will say is deliberately detailed, because in that way you will not deny it.
Twelve years ago, in 1985, I went with the whole family in a "Neo Catechumenal communities" that istallò Garbatella, thanks to some so-called "catechists" from Viale Marconi, in the south of Rome. Their maximum area manager was and is Dr. Roberto Piermarini, journalist for Vatican Radio. After my story neo catechumenal community is gone from Garbatella, reimpiantandosi at the mother community, in the area of Viale Marconi.
The "catechists" hiding of being members of a particular organization and, above all, hiding that began, for the present, a commitment that would last at least twenty years, began a bombardment of pseudo-Protestant concepts that became immediately apparent to the ears of one as I had done in the Church many learning experiences, such as Catholic Action, catechetical instruction, "cursillos of Christianity," etc..
Despite these "out of tune" I was confident because my pastor (who later became bishop in the same year), giving them home, legitimized and guaranteed their work.
I was magnetized by catechizing them, their certainties, because they gave the impression that everything that happened was not previously prepared at the table and, above all, that this was the only way to be authentic Christians.
My wife and I have always been "open" to life, in addition to three sons, there were two other pregnancies, due to blood incompatibility Rh factor, resulted in miscarriages and the doctors have said clearly that further attempts would only product miscarriages.
Well, despite this and despite the five pregnancies, the fanaticism of Heads-makers to make decisions that was crazy and irresponsible to my wife, without even consulting with her husband! ... We were destined to become an "abortion mill"!
Left me surprised and concerned about the continuing statements of the leaders of the organization always designed to ensure that they enjoy the full support of the Pope! [...] I remember the nervousness and embarrassment that could be read on their faces when I proposed, for example, to pray as the Pope (kneeling), while they even forbade it!
[...] In the three years I attended the Neo Catechumenate I realized the persuasive power of their leaders and the fact that the concept of the family has little to do with the traditional Christian family, they implement a single large family of about 40 / 50 people is guided by the "Cape-family-Catechist", planning torque does not exist and in its place is a design approach that (through the pyramidal structure) is directly inspired by its founder (Kiko Arguello)!
In those years, I realized that their leaders were able to monopolize the private life of individuals, with the proliferation of the commitments of the group, with the natural increase of friendships between members of the group, especially with the psychological control due to " public confessions, "in" resonance "and" Speed of experience. "
Almost to fear mysterious future dangers, since the first meetings, it was taught that we should have a closer look by anyone who wanted to say something different from what the 'responsible' taught us, that the Catholic Church itself there are many who hate them, and the reason is just what "they" are the real and authentic rediscoverers the Christianity of the first centuries. They taught us that many would immediately felt the desire to give up that experience, but that no one would have had to leave behind their convenience, because outside of "they" there can only be "destruction" and unhappiness.
Taking advantage of the difficulties in our era objectively exists for the creation and maintenance of friendships, forcing novices to hang out very often for engaging and numerous meetings, make spend years without real friendships outside. By showing their experience as the only thing in the world that matters, do not try to force their followers, as more interest in culture, art, sports, politics or whatever. Everything is secondary!
Their "capital charge" sneak in just neophytes suspect that the Catholics who go to Mass "normal" Christians are second-class, and then clearly state calling them "Christians on Sunday."
He came, slowly, forced to get rid of all the affections, meaning that those loved ones that you can not drag in the Community, and 'lose BETTER!
A unique requirement, how unjust is what he sees require all or double solution (controlled by the movement) or the consecration of priest or religious, tax (and therein lies the singular) by the Heads of: Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez bachelor, former nun, now single!
When, over the years, the adepts become a fixed group to granite, come to impose the "endogamy" (obligation to get married inside the group), and then to say explicitly: "married the daughters of Israel."
When a young man engaged to a girl, outside, or a girl with a young man outside, do not have peace until they also force the outside to enter their ... "Experience."
If they can not in the way, then the internal force them to abandon their ... heaven, but only after psychological agony, because in the meantime they believe that only the Neocatechumenal there may be real, authentic Christianity!
For those who are married is the same thing, but when one of the spouses has been returned fanatically slave of their organization (which happens more often than not), are also coming to them to live separate lives (divorce of fact) if the other spouse does not appreciate the "community"!
I never liked the Neo Catechumenal Way and if you've been in for years I did it just to try to save the marriage, however, was destroyed because of the follies of "the way"! One day my wife said to me, honestly, "My and your two religions are very different," Then I tried to pretend that my wife had actually adhered to another religion, and tried to get by with all due respect, but when I realized that returning in the evening tired from work all had left, some to the "Liturgy of the Word," for those who prepare the meetings, those who prepare for the songs, as the diversified meetings of the various communities to which they belonged, I could not even hide more to myself dining alone like a dog, who had managed to destroy the family community from the deep!
Despite pride themselves to be Catholics, when it comes to create a conflict between attendance at their meetings and participation in the celebration of any sacrament, they always impose the superiority of their participation in the organization! Not to mention when the competition is with study commitments, or social, artistic, sports, love, politics or "hated culture"! Catechists are telling us that they are "idols"!
I thought, in front of the sacredness and indissolubility of marriage, they recommended a dubious spouse always choose to save the marriage, before any dilemma, but no! One of their most powerful leaders, that Mr. Franco Voltaggio, after promising to me and many bishops, who, to save any marriage would have gladly sent home by their spouses too, shall we say, "enthusiastic", proved that they are liars also in my case! ...
It 'exactly what happened to the writer, when my wife had to choose: either attend a parish without groups Neocatechumenal with her husband, or a parish groups Neocatechumenal but without her husband, she preferred her husband and kicked out of home separate, with the moral and material support of the leaders Neocatechumenal! On 27 April 1992 at 17, in the Church of S. Leonardo Murialdo, former S. Tito, in Via Pincherle, a side street of Viale Marconi, south of Rome, the then parish priest in charge, Father Dominic Paiusco, he ordered me to live the rest of my days away from my home, my children and my wife because, with my opposition to the Neo Catechumenal organization, I had been against the Catholic Church! The decision was made by the highest "catechists" of the diocese of Rome and was irrevocable!
I mentioned that my Bishop and his industry, had asked him to do the opposite, but he said he only obeyed his conscience (in fact obeyed the top of the organization!).
I went to my protest to the bishop of the area, but he said that the leaders neo catechumenal not listened to him, he could not help it ..., I went to the bishop, my former pastor at Garbatella, but he told me that it was better that iniziassi a result of legal separation, whereas my wife could not, because she was ... neo catechumenate, I went to my new pastor, recently became too 'he bishop, but he said that no one would listen to me, because I would have all was nuts, the N. C. are too powerful ... I was one of the few who pointed out the negative things ..., I went to the chaplain of the Public I work for, but he told me that I was a lone voice ... I had to adjust me ..., I went to the bishop in charge to family issues, but he, after saying that the situation was more serious than I thought, I also said that the public would never objected to anything the N. C.!
I asked many times to my wife to come and live with me, even officially, by letters dated May 18 '92, August 29, '92 and 24 May '93, but she has always refused!
My wife had to undergo a surgery in the hospital, I offered to stand with for the night, this would have been possible, and the same as my wife seemed to favor: his brothers and sisters in the community prevented me, they wanted to keep them, to avoid my proximity in a moment of its particular vulnerability!
Attending the 'community', we were forced to pay at least 10% of what came into the house, and this money, instead of going to the poor, went to the so-called "itinerant catechists" because going around the 'Europe to broaden their organization, not lack anything from clothing to cars, from home to beby sitter.
I remember that when I was kicked out of the house, the first time, I had to sleep in the car!
One of the most dramatic moments was when my mother died and I asked my wife to pray crying that night with me, leaving me alone with my pain, she said she had to pray with his brethren of the community, who were his real family in Christ! Another dramatic moment: my first child, found my aversion to "neo catechumenate," and considering that, according to him, the organization is an offshoot of Christ, tried to kill by suffocation.
Both the first and the second son called me more "father" to punish me for having always and at all costs hindered their organization!
The second son, still very young, already has two daughters, is used as a generator of new neo catechumenal and I did not even know the second granddaughter, critics of the neo catechumenal organization has no rights!
A much fanaticism that leads this organization instills in the mind of many people, creating many "fundamentalists" pseudocattolici that very little different from much deprecated "Islamic fundamentalists"!
I recently learned that my first child is considered an element loyal and reliable has been named "Manager of the Community '!
I remember with horror the Easters that I experienced myself in those years! Two days of absolute fast and rigorous, mandatory and imbued with fanaticism, which was followed by a full night of singing deeper isolation from the True Community, one of the parish. All followed by an "agape" (lunch) at six in the morning, with wine and his stomach suddenly received huge amounts of food, some felt sick, others get drunk. Then we went to sleep the whole day of Easter, not even half an hour to spend with family and friends not neo catechumenal! ... and the parish community grew to believe that we we hit the heights of sublime asceticism!
Among other things, I remember very clearly that in their relentless teachings had a key role in this: "Only God is to be truly loved! (Which [God] means to their organization)! If your spouse will be a hindrance, ODIALO, and do the same if anyone else wants to separate you from us, including children, siblings and parents included "!
I thought mine was an extreme case, perhaps a rare case ... but no, what has happened to me has happened to many other people! Many couples have had the marriage ruined forever by this strange organization, which sometimes gives the impression of looking like a "CULT"!
The emotional and psychological intimacy, and the design, are the cornerstones upon which any couple's relationship, but for decades, these are exercised by strangers to the couple! Imagine the destructive effects that stem from it!
The difference with the other couples are spoiled only by the fact that these have gone missing, as they have completely abandoned Christianity because, after years of attendance, one tends to identify the "Neo Catechumenate Way" with "Christianity ". Dismissing one, you lose the other! That is why my might seem an unusual case! Other couples "treated" by the neo catechumenal are precipitated in atheism and the Church is not a trace!
And to think that when I was teaching catechism to the children of Garbatella said, "the Church, in order to defend the indissolubility of marriage only, preferred to suffer the Anglican schism!"
[...] When I was kicked out of the house, I left the organization and started to investigate the structure and found that, while they want to give everyone the impression of being spontaneous and innocuous groups, guided only by the Spirit of God, are organized as a "Church within the Church"! They have the 'responsible' of each community, the leaders responsible (called "catechists") of complex communities of every parish where there are (that count much more than the pastor!), The department heads (which count a lot more of Bishops industry!), regional and national structures that overlap secretly to the structures of the Church's official!
I found that the Neocatechumenal (without anything transpire outside the ecclesiastical circles) are clearly contrasted environments more culturally engaged, both part of the Church more "progressive" than from the more 'traditional'.
Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli of Florence, Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini of Turin, Cardinal Salvatore Pappalardo, former archbishop of Palermo, the Bishop of Brescia Bruno Foresti, the Bishop of Ivrea Bettazzi Archbishop, the bishops of Novara, Trieste, the bishop of Foligno Bishop Bertoldo, Perugia, and many others, have highlighted the danger of this organization.
Bishop Cesare Pagani, bishop of Perugia, in 1988, died of a heart attack after a lively discussion with the leaders of that organization, rather than reflect on their own fanaticism, preferred to speak of divine punishment!
In January last in 1996, in England, in Clifton, Catholic Bishop Mervyn Alexander, has launched an investigation against the Neo Catechumenate, which, when it ended, banned in the organization to recruit new members in the diocese!
The Assistant National "Catholic Action," Archbishop Agostino Superb, Bishop of Puglia, along with all the other 19 bishops of Apulia, sent in December last year, the priests of a pastoral region (all the bishops agreed, without exception ), in which he argues that the Neo Catechumenal Way "puts at risk the communion in the Catholic Church" (see p. 36 of the monthly "Jesus" of February!)
In Vicenza have created many problems! I knew for a fact that, near Florence, for a time the parish was split, thanks to the neo catechumenal we must also attend to the painful small schisms?
As a young man I studied a little of theology and catechism, I was manager of the "Catholic Action," prepared for First Communion or Confirmation, many young people, so I can easily see that the main reason why this organization is hated the most progressive of the Church, is that the neo catechumenal betray completely all openings council of a social nature, all attempts to achieve in the world "theology of justice," all the Church's interest for the poor and the marginalized, all the conditions of democratization in the Church!
In contrast, the more traditional part of the Church, the one that has most at heart the preservation of Catholic doctrine, which has enabled the Church to remain integral along two thousand years of history, do not escape the serious heresies of the teachings, which, even more serious , are written in the catechism neocatechumenal, that I have been able to read and that is kept strictly secret even to the simple neo catechumenal without specific charges! Only the first volume (Orientations to teams) consists of 373 pages well! They have always denied the existence!
Lutheran teachings have penetrated abundantly in the new catechism catechumenal:
faith (fanaticism) allows us to completely undo the sins!
The works do not count!
The free interpretation of Holy Scripture provides the only form of morality!
The true priest is "the sum of the faithful", the priest is only a priest who "presides"!
The sacrifices, fasts, promises to God, pilgrimages, are all useless!
The S. Rosario is discredited and marginalized!
The Eucharistic Sacrifice is denied,
Transubstantiation is reduced to the symbol!
The Ministerial Priesthood deleted! (This is Lutheranism, not Catholicism!).
"The man can not do good because it is separated from God, because he sinned and was radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The Evil One is to his Lord. "
(This is Jansenism, not Catholicism!).
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle,
for them the presence of the body of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
According to my modest personal memories, the first successful priest who sounded the alarm about the dangers of neo catechumenal was Father Virginio Rotondi, who seguitissimi articles in the newspaper "TIME" that denounced the "chosen people" persists in not wanting to recognize God speaks to us not only through the Holy Scriptures, but also through the teachings of the Church, and again, the scriptures should not be cloaked in an aura of "magic"!
Then other priests saw the danger of N. C.; remember above all the great theologian Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli, who wrote numerous books and other evidence of careful theological study, among which is interesting what is called "the Magisterium of the Pope and the Catechism of Kiko ... comparison ", which speaks volumes about the lack of catholicity of that organization!
Even the most progressive of the Church, especially in England, through the work of many bishops, took a stand against this movement, and finally, a shocking book told with clarity and courage what hides behind the "harmless" leaders of the Neocatechumenal " Armies of the Pope "by Gordon Urquhart - Ed Ponte alle Grazie, Florence, £ .38.000, readily available in each library.
Neocatechumenal Lutheran heresies:
Faith allows us to completely undo the sins!
The works do not count!
The free interpretation of Holy Scripture provides the only form of morality!
The true priest is "the sum of the faithful", the priest is only a priest who "presides"!
The sacrifices, fasts, promises to God, pilgrimages, are all useless!
The S. Rosario is discredited and marginalized!
The Eucharistic Sacrifice is denied,
Transubstantiation is reduced to the symbol!
The Ministerial Priesthood deleted!
Neocatechumenal Jansenist heresies:
The man can not do good because it is separated from God, because he sinned and was radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The Evil One is to his Lord
Other heresies Neocatechumenal:
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle,
the presence of the body of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
See a listing more complete in the article mentioned in the introduction
With the obsessive and relentless concepts that so-called "catechists" neo catechumenal repeated continuously, you get a transformation of the individual personality that comes to a real brainwashing. Everything becomes normal, the release of the "tithe," practically a bribe of 10% of family income (even the poorest), the provision of assets and property!
This explains the economic conditioning that sometimes dulls the will of the priests who have taken this organization and also explains the multiplication of the number of special seminars and exclusive of neo catechumenal (28) that create many Catholic priests who have very little and obeying more the leaders of the organization that the Bishops!
With a strategy that is similar to that carried out by Freemasonry, organized a timely occupation of the focal points and decision-making tools of mass communication, which can speed up the development of their organization (some journalists of Radio Vatican, like Dr. Roberto Piermarini, the director of Radio Maria, some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, etc..). Until the early meetings are taught that marriage, the family, work, children, possessions, are "idols" that are hated. Kiko, his catechists teach ago: "The family is a myth when it becomes terrible religion. Christianity must destroy it "(Then hold the first place the 'Community'!).
It is taught: If the wife is in love with her husband, or the husband is in love with his wife, he created an idol! .... Then you have to learn to hate him!
In the "ballots" insist on the fact that the parent-child bond is broken, that they are offered to the community (children of the Community), and the children are "idols" and also suffer a lot by seeing the love "human" and "neurotic" parents! (Kiko is convinced that the parents are all "neurotic" because they did not want their children!).
Those poor boys, then, completely sucked in "road", they are deprived of all the main things of youth: external friendships, fun, exploration of the thought of today, freedom, contemporary culture, opportunities to think and choose for themselves! The political, social, charitable and even those are, for them, a waste of time.
The twenty years of "path" is a machine that creates Christians in series. The changes take place at specific times, before or after, the 'action of grace does not exist, with its improvised. Faith comes only at the last moment (renewal of baptismal vows), not before.
With arcane rituals and secret knowledge, the Neocatechumenate recalls the cunning of the oldest "Gnosticism" and the more modern "Freemasonry." It 'sa cheap mysticism that describes the meeting with the movement as the most important fact since the coming of Christ!
During the time that I spent in the interior of this religious experience, remember that the past was always painted as completely negative, empty, hopeless, inconclusive, ... up to 'encounter with the neo Catechumenals, lighting solution to all problems!
Who does not adapt to this collective vision obligatory, pitied, because he has not yet met Christ! The other hand, submitting to the authority of the Movement and renouncing their own personality, their own desires, their ideas, are "cultivated" and "built" to assume more and more responsibility!
Anticipating that someone could open their eyes and to rebel against the "brainwashing" do not fail to warn followers: "If your father, your mother, your husband, will doubt the goodness and holiness of the Neo Catechumenal, then it will be the devil to speak them, do not listen! "!
Before long, even the way they talk, the linguistic terms, the movements of the body and arms, the look, everything is approved in the Neocatechumenal Way and the outside world begins a state of perpetual misunderstanding.
Here are some highlighted characters Neocatechumenal occupants vevralgici and decision points:
some journalists of Radio Vatican, like Dr. Roberto Piermarini, the director of Radio Maria, some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, etc..
Living in the Community, there is aware of the existence of structures that orchestrate everything, even emotions! Slowly, everything that is outside the Community loses value, loses interest! The long and tiring night liturgies, sapping the body and mind, you weaken to the point that everything you is imposed by the managers believe it blindly! The effect of numbness of mind is part of the indoctrination process. Do you feel stupid and drunk, you are convinced that your life is just there, and that will never be anywhere else in the future.
As other people have the same sensations, the 'responsible' convince you that this shows the strong presence of the Spirit of God! It remains so convinced that when you're in other environments, you are so vulnerable that you run the risk you down! You can not do without that organization, you are bound for life to those people, that and only that is your real family!
The secret haunts you: you can not ask questions about what is to come, we can not reveal any details of the "path" to outsiders and even to members of the lower level, must not leak anything that happens inside! The Chiefs, his eyes haunted, they just say that in the next "steps" (periodic) may access a greater proximity to the wonders of God, the important thing is to trust the "path" (for them!) And not to thank be "Christians on Sunday"!
Lead you to live life within the precincts of the 'organization, almost as if the outside were the source of infection. Even outside interests, culture, education, politics, art, philosophy, even the priests and bishops not Neocatechumenal can defile and get away from what has become a prison, and you did not notice. Since the first ballot are ready to reproach you continually put your signature on the "book of life" (the Bible of the "community") and therefore you can not "betray" ... "Jesus (through them) went this time for you, you may not spend more! Jesus is acting through "catechists". " They can also affect the minds more free and open!
Fear, guilt and dependence on 'Community' are huge! To lock the joints trying to frighten the members, playing on their fear of being "rejected" by the "community". Implementing the psychological terrorism.
It 's very important to be able to cancel the self-esteem of members and the triumph of the idea that only the "Neocatechumenate" may be beneficial, leading to a complete dependence.
The two-year pre-catechumenate are tough: raggiranti mystifications develop between threats and promises of new amazing revelation: "Tonight the" Church "will give you the Glorious Cross." Intimidated and subjected the poor shall not be able to get out of the "community" if only because it establishes an indissoluble bond with that group of people who knows the secrets and hidden fears, through the "public confessions"!
Some compete in recounting the misfortunes that have befallen those who have strayed from the "Way" or just thought of it!
Each "community" is convinced that he received from God the task of saving the Catholic Church who is dying and salvation can be found only amongst neo catechumenal! On the contrary: even, slowly, begin to use the term as a synonym for the whole of the Community Church neo catechumenal! Any practicing Catholic does not belong to the movement is pitied and labeled as: bigot, "Collotorto 'or even pay! The normal Christianity is worthless!
They, however, do not want to be defined (even as a movement), because they want to look more and more like 'all true Christians are on their way "! Just like the Jehovah's Witnesses say about themselves: "We are those of the Truth, we are not an organization!"
The neologisms and jargon of neo Catechumenals, using the technique of brainwashing, leading members to accept new ideas without any guarantee of reliability! The particular language creates a sense of dependency and blind obedience, as well as successful exclusive membership to an elite group!
To convince you that the only real family is the community neo catechumenate, they adopt the terms "brother" and "sister" to recognize each member; abandons the term priest to priest, you "shoot" words like "Kerygma", "Koinonia" , "Kenosis" existential, ontological, servant of Yahweh, the glorious cross, to boast of having God always in your pocket and make an impression on the simple people!
In parishes without one face case, the neo catechumenal occupy a kind of "exclusive" to the interpretations of Scripture, teaching the catechism to the communicants and confirmands, hymns and liturgy Easter! They come to oust those opposite, to replace the other associations. The priest no longer has control of the situation. In the rare cases in which the priest manages to avert this organization does not know how soundly replace it, after much uproar and fanaticism exasperated.
The techniques of suggestion are used to train those who, as a couple will be in search of people, into their homes, to bring it to the first catechesis said, reciting a memorized speech, full of enthusiasm and forcibly, in an altered voice and sure, they give you the change in the spots.
A serious international organization, who has studied religious sects in the world (FAIR) has observed: "Cults use sophisticated techniques that cause the destruction of the ego, the modification of thought and psychological dependence. The seven members can keep in a state of heightened suggestibility through lack of sleep, fasting or special powers, spiritual exercises, the constant indoctrination and group experiences subsidiaries'!
The "public confessions" are the most classic and proven technique that is used to cement together the members of a "community" and to control them in the depths of the soul.
In the "cohabitation" which takes place in some "weekend" community members are subjected to a control (the so-called "space of experience") and a psychological pressure that is surpassed only by the "ballots" (terrible exams which lay leaders inquisiscono the soul of the poor "brothers", as they have the authority to establish the level of growth in the faith)!
Sometimes used psychological tricks, such as "total darkness" (the so-called "skylight") combined with long silences, they get an overwhelming impact on the poor stressed minds. All things prepared and prepared and meticulously ominously from their "holy" Kiko Arguello, in the secret book, "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the conversion phase" (which runs only in photocopy). In this book, Kiko has a detailed rituals designed. While critical of the members weakens, increasing by 'catechists' demands complete obedience and irrational!
By controlling the environment, handling personnel in the rarefied atmosphere, the public confessions, the exchange of experiences and supervised the use of slang exclusive movement, managers have full control of every individual, even managing to influence his desires future. On the other hand it is known that restricting the vocabulary used, are reduced to the same extent the ability to think and feel.
The transformation of the image that everyone has of himself is facilitated by review of all the events previously experienced. "Before" the whole of life was ugly, after meeting with the newly Catechumenals, life is light, there is someone else telling me what to do!
The destruction of the individual, is not a goal that much hidden by the Heads neo Catechumenals, since obviously they say, "you must die to yourself, destroy yourself"! Then you just have nothing to do but to depend in all the movement and life of his triumphs, his struggles, his collections of money, and his friends are your, his enemies are yours! You no longer have roots, everything else has so little!
You learn not to react to the wrongs that you are made, thus creating an alibi to ensure the compliance of States and the dependence of the Heads!
Anything that can be the object of emotional attachment or love sweet and clear (from their books to her husband, from their pastime at his watch, his own career) is required to be hated and branded as "idol", as if to , jealousy, eliminate competitors to the "community."
The enhancement of the individual resources (imagination, creativity, etc..) That are encouraged in Catholic associations worthy, are repressed among new catechumenal.
On the occasion of the new catechesis bombard any friend or relative with the classic phrase, borrowed from the Jehovah's Witnesses, "Come and meet our friends, come and see, then ... understand, no one can understand it, if you do not live. " And with this alibi to prevent anyone outside their organization from making the slightest objection. "You can not be judged" (they also shouted in the face of bishops who are allowed to object to something!). Any dialogue with the leaders of this organization is almost impossible! To those who, like me, instead, tried their "wonders" prevent also to express it ... I was only a few years because they are an extreme case, because I've never met Christ! ... And terminate any dialogue always saying, "We will pray for you," Which is to say: "You do not understand anything and we are always right!" Their 'responsible' can only preach, they can not hear! The Neo Catechumenal Way is totally identified with God!
Of course, when I saw that the decisions of heads neo catechumenal destroying my family were not effectively fought by my new parish priest (later he became Bishop) and my bishop in the sector, even though I respect enormously, almost do not consider myself more of a Catholic, but the faith in me I can not delete it.
It must be considered that, even if more than half of the five auxiliary bishops of Rome have reservations about the "catechumenate", they are afraid to make it explicit to avoid displeasing to the Pope and not to show off from the Church for the differences. But I'm sure pray that the Neo Catechumenate melts as soon as possible, as a whole convent of nuns in southern Italy does every night. (I find it personally). But always remember that the Church needs the "brother Christopher," not of "don Abbondio"! ... Otherwise, this organization will become more powerful!.
They even, unctuously, to make confirm, after preparing a whole new catechumenal with ceremony in the movement, the children of married guys who are still oriented in a different manner on the goodness of the "path", so the guys are already "booked" and push in even the recalcitrant spouse! (How could oppose a father to a Catholic sacrament anyway?). And so do the baptism.
Members are kept in a state of submission by the constant repetition of the message of sin and corruption, in twenty years. Being able to magnify their state of sin is essential to move forward. It implements the annihilation of personality!
Grace does not exist! Everyone feels so sinful that become fully-ployees by their leaders hope for salvation! The 'man can not sin, then you do not feel re-sponsible!
Some concepts are repeated beyond belief: "If you are not in THIS word, you are lost, because outside of it there is only death"!
"I completely rid them from slavery in Egypt. Begin your journey with a community, you receive the coming Messiah to free, look to him and he will guide you "(referring to the" catechumenate "!). "It happens that some leave the path (neocatecumenale), abandon Moses (Kiko), and the Pharaoh attacks them and destroys them"!
I have heard from some of their leaders, with the prolific forced and irresponsible, they calculated that in the decades may come to take possession of the Church, and some dare ... World!
The fanatical fundamentalism that characterizes them, such as the Islamic, was clearly rejected by Jesus when he said, acknowledging the 'existence of the secular dimension of man: "Come to God what is God's, you give to Caesar what is Caesar's »!
The "way" of these "community" grows in a crescendo of depletion of individual personalities, heresies, disrupted families, parishes swept through phases that last two or three years: Shema, prayer, Traditio symbol, symbol Redditio , Our Father, Election, renewal of baptismal promises!
Like all sectarian organizations, including the newly catechumenal considered as traitors those who drop out, and then holds them up to those who remain, as the quintessence of the devil, creating fear and submission larger. The strong sense of group identity, of 'the other hand, blows up powerful feelings of guilt in those who would like to get away, because they taught that those who leave the "neo catechumenal," let God! You can leave those who know the most intimate secrets? You can once again become mere "Sunday Christian"? Very often those who manage to escape, remain always with the desire to return to the organization that made them dependent and insecure, are no longer able to live an independent life! ... And to think that their claim to form Christians ADULTS! On the other hand the life of a common parish seems less beautiful (even if it's true) after the crash and the triumphalism of Neo catechumenal! I wonder which church we pass on to our children? With this in mind, what will happen in the next few years?
In many occasions assured the bishops that, in the event of refusal by a spouse of the methodology of the way neo catechumenate, they sent home the other; LIE! KNOWING TO LIE! Many families have been destroyed, not just mine! When making psychologically dependent on a wife, when they cut ties with the outside world, when they put their hands over their children, when the 'have surrounded solidarity when they took advantage of his ignorance in matters of religion to inculcate heresies, when they did losing the true Catholic faith, how do you go back to your husband? What solidarity I had I? To see priests and bishops tremble just to hear the name of the newly catechumenal?
I had a wife and three children, I have nothing, the first two children do not even consider me their father, the third, drunk by the neo Catechumenals, without realizing it, let languish and impoverish any inner dialogue with his father: his heart opens only in the "community", where the "Catechist" has taken the place of his father and also gives safety, driving, listening, comprehension, listening to his "errors" and tells him, what to do! That is why, not funded by anyone, do what I do!
In the face of so great a danger, I think it is the duty of each work so that the so-called "Neo Catechumenal Way" to melt before the damage is irreparable, even for others!
I know personally that, in general distrust towards all institutions, including the Church, when events occur as severe as those narrated, families and parish priests close in pain and in private, without protest. The best thing to do is the opposite: send a letter of protest to Cardinal Camillo Ruini, Vicar of Rome, Piazza S. John, 6 - 00184 ROME.
If new facts will not happen positive, with measures Church, over time it will become necessary to make informed about these things, the world outside the Church from secular newspapers to radio, TV, the Associations of Psychotherapy, which could diminish the moral character of Catholic Church, and this is the reason why so far has refrained from doing so, but there is also a danger for civil society should not be underestimated! Civil society also has the right to know the 'existence of these dangers!
For the moment I tried to set up a spontaneous association that collects laity and priests who have experienced first hand the damage that can result in an organization such as one called "Neo Catechumenal way." Many bishops, even if they see the initiative with interest, do not feel to intervene with official support since the Neo Catechumenate has no official recognition (so much so that its leaders have recently gathered on Mount Sinai, just to draft a the future status!).
As Christians, we certainly ought to love our enemies and persecutors and pray for them (which I try to always do against NC), but we also have a duty to report to anyone, even to the Holy Father, the errors of such large proportions that come to destroy the family, harm to the Church, creating problems for civil society!

THE FABRIC OF THE SPIDER Plagiarism psychological Sect Catholic said:
"WAY NEO catechumenal"
There are prisons that have the bars, solid bars that are seen and that can be sawn.
There are prisons that have invisible barriers that can not be grasped and shook with anger, smiling while you say, "But you are free, and open the door ... open, you can leave"
(Claude Buffet)
Today it seems that it has become so demanding and tiring to think that you prefer to use simplifications, siding without having covered a genuine path of knowledge and discernment, ie you prefer not to listen to each other but to reinforce its position and defend it at all costs.
This short paper is intended just to give voice "to the other bell" and fruit and, for the most part, on personal experience, lived in the Neocatechumenal Way and, in part, will refer to has heard from other people who were in the Way for longer me.
I make these reflections without velleity. I acknowledge that I do not have a proper psychological preparation, but also want to make public this reality that the evidence, to me, seemed the result of a technique of 'brainwashing' able to depersonalize, implementation against many ordinary people who in good faith have undertaken this 'Way' to rediscover their faith or simply to deepen the content.
Too many theological errors have to define 'non-Catholic', but 'heretic' this sect. I just mention them, leaving the worthy priests and theologians who have dealt with the investigation of this subject. (See bibliography at the end)
I want my writing to come not only to ecclesiastical hierarchies responsible, but above all the ordinary faithful.
Many of the techniques of plagiarism used in this sect, are also used in other secret societies, both inside and outside Christianity. (E 'surprising resemblance to the manipulative techniques of the Sect of Moon, the one that ensnared the Archbishop Milingo). While, however, the seven recognized as highly dangerous (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, or the satanic sects) because you can defend the Church and civil society to help and inform, by this sect, which thrives within the Catholic Church, no one can defend, because work in a subtle and ambiguous situation on which there is no information. Many priests, while strongly opposed, they avoid talking about it because they fear of tarnishing the Church. But I believe that the Church must purify and get rid of those who offer themselves as super apostles but that actually take advantage of people simple and available, rich idealities, hoping to strengthen this 'Way' that supposedly blessed by God
I dedicate these reflections with love to my grandchildren, but already many who still call me grandfather to their parents, who once called me dad, young people thirsting for true ideals, hoping to save them from the seven and those who are already in the 'Way 'in the hope that open their eyes and recognize the "Canvas spider" which have fallen and from which have been completely enmeshed and entangled.
We all believe that those who have their feet firmly on the ground, intelligence, and who has a good culture (perhaps graduate) can not ever end up in a secret religious sect. Nothing more wrong! No one can be considered completely safe from plagiarism and psychological brainwashing, always possible because:
• In the course of life all through periods of greater vulnerability due to losses, serious illness, severe grief or lack of landmarks ideals;
• Everyone needs to feel understood, accepted, loved, attending environments that facilitate this;
• Heads scientifically organize the life of the sect. Cut off all relations with the outside world to miss the intellectual debate, so who attends them not she misses the slow and constant changes that slowly envelop the adept in an invisible "Canvas Spider";
• When there is a continuous and vital relationship with the outside world, it lacks the intellectual parts of sap. This facilitates the numbness of the brain even in the most intelligent people. In fact, if a fly lands on a picture, he can not ever see the whole picture on which it is placed. To show good will have to "come out" and need to get away from the painting itself. So happens to those who enter into a sect will ever not objectively assess the environment that surrounds it, as long as it does not take up his freedom of judgment. Only then will be able to deal with others who are still outside his reality and objectively assess the reality that is living. But to do what it takes humility, honesty of thought and a good dose of courage!
The 'Neocatechumenal Communities' arise after a 'Announcement' in the parish. Lay people present themselves to the priest and asked to organize the parish catechesis for adults. I 'catechists' begin their bombardment with an authentic catechesis concepts of pseudo-Protestant, without telling the audience that they are part of a certain organization and, above all, without telling them that is starting a commitment of at least twenty years. Despite numerous "out of tune" (which the most educated in the Church's teaching experience) are usually all to hear, confident and reassured by the presence of the parish priest who acts as a guarantor of security and that it is still of a 'proposal' Catholic.
All are magnetized as their catechizing, and their certainties. Give the impression that everything that happens is pre-prepared at the table and, above all, that that is the only way of being authentic Christians.
The continuous and alarming statements of catechists give rise to a slight sense of surprise, but they always make sure to enjoy the unconditional support of the Pope only a few discover that the Catholic Church has ever officially approved, even though they are always trying to hide it, deceiving with false claims.
As in all religious sects, at the appropriate time, a cracker what psychologists call the 'Love Bomb', the love bomb by artificially creating a joyful moment of silence that gives the impression of a state of friendship , harmony and love. This situation (often prepared with the help of fasting programmed, followed by the recruitment of sweets and wine) creates an atmosphere that would be concrete proof that it is of a privileged group of God is, however, of 'a technique of "hooking" to engage and retain the neophyte. (Remarks by Prof. Mastronardi, owner of Forensic Psychopathology at the University 'La Sapienza' of Rome).
Over the years, those attending the CN is aware of the persuasive power of the leaders and how the concept of the family is together very different from that of the classical Christian family. Movement is accomplished in a single large family of 40/50 people who are guided by a householder: the Catechist. The planning torque disappears. In its place is taken that the planning (through the pyramidal structure) is directly inspired by the founder (Kiko Arguello)!
Even those who are striving to preserve their independent judgment, he realizes that the heads completely monopolize the private life of individuals through the commitments of the group (increasingly frequent) and with the natural increase of friendships between members of the group and with psychological control exercised through the "public confessions", the "resonances" and so-called "revolutions of experience." In these three stages and is forced to tell (even in the most intimate detail) all the secrets of his soul and all the sins committed in the past. These intimate secrets must be externalised in front of the whole Community to become, well, like a sword of Damocles that will prevent them forever, to leave the group.
The Heads responsible for the Community and especially the Catechist responsible for all of the Parish Community, want to know, even in the most gory details, the details of individual problems, in order to have "in hand" the psyche of the victim, replacing, in fact , the confessor or spiritual father. All this happens without there being an obligation of the seal of the confessional, because they are not priests, but the laity.
Since the early meetings trying to convince people that their organization and perfect and directly inspired by God, so who is allowed even in the slightest criticism of their methods, is considered a demon or a "pharaoh". When someone (even priest or bishop) moves objections to the organization, each member must treat it as a personal enemy. Since the early meetings, almost fearing mysterious future hazards, it is taught:
- "Us" we have a closer look by anyone who wants to tell us something other than that
"Managers" teach;
- That the Catholic Church itself there are many who "we" hate, and that reason only, and that
"We" are the real and authentic rediscoverers the Christianity of the first centuries;
- That in the future many feel the desire to leave that experience, but that no one will have the convenience to leave "our" environment, because outside of "we" can only be
"Perdition" and unhappiness.
Some take my courage in both hands and run away from this experience, but very often
"Repent of having repented" because no longer have the ability to live an independent life.
Taking advantage of the real difficulties in our time hinder the formation and maintenance of friendships, forcing newcomers dating only each other, they are involved in numerous meetings, so that for years have no other real friendships outside. They believe that this, and the only thing that matters in the world and, slowly, they induce their followers not to try more
interest in culture, art, sports, politics, etc.. Everything becomes secondary!
From the beginning, the "responsible leaders" creep into neophytes suspect that the Catholics who go to Mass "normal" Christians are second-class, and clearly state calling them "Christians
Sunday. "
Gradually invite you to get rid of all the affections, to induce them to believe that their loved ones,
if you can not drag them into the Community, and lose BETTER!
Obligation singular (how unfair) and require all or double solution (controlled by
Movement) or the priest or religious consecration (set by the Catechists and ultimately by Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez bachelor, a former nun, maiden!).
Over the years, the adepts become a fixed set, granite, capable of imposing the obligation to marry inside the group ("Inbreeding"), saying explicitly: "married the daughters of Israel."
Who gets engaged to a girl or a boy outside the sect, not left in peace until it will force the other / a to enter their movement.
Those who can not aim above will be forced to abandon the "Neo Catechumenate paradise", but with terrible psychological sufferings, because in the meantime will have been convinced that only with catechumenal there may be the true, authentic Christianity!
Same goes for those who are married. When one of the spouses has been made fanatically slave of their organization (which happens more often than not), go so far as to make them live a separate life (divorce of fact) if the other spouse does not appreciate the "community" : and and and just what happened to the writer.
On 27 April 1992 at 17, in the Church of S. Leonardo Murialdo, former S. Tito, in Via Pincherle, a side street of Viale Marconi, south of Rome, the then parish priest in charge, Father Dominic Paiusco, ordered me to live the rest of my days away from my home, my children and my wife because, with my opposition to the Neo Catechumenal organization, I had been against the Catholic Church! The decision was made by the highest "catechists" of the diocese of Rome and was irrevocable! I mentioned that my Bishop and his industry, had asked him to do the opposite, but he said he only obeyed his conscience (in fact obeyed the top of the organization!).
No one had the courage to oppose such a decision: he wife, nor children, nor Riva Bishop, the Bishop of Industry!
I tried to maintain their independence of judgment and I realized that the members of my family, which was previously united with time were involved in multiple engagements differentiated according to the various "communities". Returning in the evening tired from work I realized that all had emerged: those for the 'Liturgy of the Word', for those who prepare the meetings, those who prepare for the songs, while having dinner just like a dog, I realized more and more every day that had destroyed our community deeply familiar.
They boast of being a Catholic, but when there is conflict between attendance at their meetings, and participating in some sacrament they are always prevail superiority of participation in their meetings! Even discuss, then, when the alternative and study commitments, commitments or social, artistic, sports, love, politics or "hated culture"! According to the Catechists all these commitments are 'idols'!
I thought, in front of the sacredness and indissolubility of marriage, the spouse would have recommended doubtful always choose to save the marriage, before any dilemma. But no! One of the most powerful leaders in the NC, the lawyer. Franco Voltaggio, after promising to several bishops to save a marriage would have gladly sent home by their spouses too "excited", later on, gave clear proof that what he said was false.
Who attends the Way, after the 'second step' must pay at least 10% of each entry. This money, instead of going to the poor, goes to the so-called 'itinerant catechists', that going around Europe and the world to spread their organization, should not be missing anything, from clothing to cars, from home to baby Child. These itinerant catechists, people are pushed to resign from their jobs in order to live from that moment the sole responsibility of the sect, for life, with the whole family, without having to miss them nothing, in foreign countries, fully expensed.
(Who writes this brochure was forced, when he was driven from his home, to sleep in the car while he thought on luxury enjoyed by Itinerant catechists!)
The dramatic moments of life are dealt with dull fanaticism! And I happened on the occasion of the death of my mother, 1/10/92, to ask my wife to no avail NC to pray together. But his answer was: "I just pray with my brothers of the community, which are my only true family in Christ." Their fanaticism leads them to affirm and believe that this organization is really a direct emanation of Christ himself.
Personal testimony: Noting that the first of my children listened absolutely me, his father, and his father claiming the right to be heard at least, I felt reply: "Why, sometimes not even listen to the catechists, who demand that the father plays ? ", demonstrating the role has been replaced and the power of the absolute power of Catechists!
The newlyweds are pushed (with the excuse of openness to life) to a prolific excessive and irresponsible. Come to make new children for silly exhibitionism, more than driven by genuine love. There are families of 8, 10, 12 children.
If, despite the commitments that occupy the totality of time and mental manipulation drive, some think for themselves and dare to raise some doubt, some criticism, some the amending proposal, then it is blamed and accused of "slander."
The terrible accusation of gossip is discussed in the "space of experience", is charged to the poor "brother", then it must be open to public confession in the "community", and the victim is terrorized by threats of not being able to overcome the "ballot" next ! All in the ultimate goal of destroying the individual intelligence, planning, self-esteem, critical sense of a human being that the true Catholic Church taught us' being, the soul, "in the image of God"!
When you are talking about for years and years, almost exclusively with the same group of people in uniform choices fundamentalist, and they tell you that you're wrong, you convince yourself to make mistakes immediately, without first thoroughly examine your thoughts and motivations that generated .
Who has not lived this experience, he can not conceive of the enormous fanaticism that infuses the soul of this organization recruits, creating many 'fundamentalists' pseudocattolici, so similar to the deprecated 'Islamic fundamentalists'.
Certainly the violent methods of Islamic fundamentalists are in no way comparable to those of neo Catechumenals, but the result of ruining the great monotheistic religions and the same, and the danger to civil society and certainly the same. The unreasonable determination, mental rigidity, fanaticism, obstinacy, are the same Islamic fanatics.
For example, the fanatical fundamentalist Afghans today, followers of the terrorist Bin Laden, these same children who years ago were "trained" by Pakistan in the refugee camps from the study of only "Koran" without any secular vision, secular culture, secular dimension.
The fanatical fundamentalism was clearly rejected by Jesus when he said, acknowledging the existence of the secular dimension of man: "Give to God what belongs to God and, by and to Caesar what Caesar"!
I remember with horror the Pasque lived in those years, preceded by two days of rigorous fasting, mandatory and absolute, all imbued with fanaticism, culminating with a whole night of singing, totally isolated from the Community parish should be the Community of all. At six in the morning there was a "agape" (a room) with abundant food and wine in quantities. Some came to get drunk, others to have vomiting due to stomach suddenly filled with huge amounts of food. Then he slept through the day of Easter, without being able to spend even half an hour celebrating with family and friends not NC! Parish community to believe that we were in that night touched the most sublime heights of asceticism!
Among the many teachings proclaimed in a pounding, those were more insistently repeated: "God alone is to be truly loved (where 'God' meant their organization)! "If you and your spouse off the hook, odialo! Do the same with anyone else who wants to separate you from us, children, siblings and parents included. " Many couples have had the marriage ruined forever by this strange organization, which more properly should be called "CULT"!
The emotional and psychological intimacy, and the design must be the cornerstones on which to base any relationship. For decades, however, and everything lived and treated by people outside the couple themselves! Everyone will be able to imagine the destructive effects it may arise!
Most couples are ruined. Those who become aware of reality, emerging from this disastrous experience, but having reached the conclusion that the CN and the true expression of Christianity, many come to lose faith forever, and of them, the Church loses track completely.
Catechists NC say that the members are millions! But no one has ever calculated that the escapees are ten times as much, and how much suffering: often no more faith!
When investigating their structure it turns out that, while they want to give everyone the impression of being spontaneous and innocuous groups, guided only by the Spirit of God, are organized as 'Church in the Church'! They have 'managers' of each community, the leaders of the community in respect of all of the parishes where there are: the 'catechists' (which count for a lot more of the pastor!) Industry leaders (who count much of Bishops !) regional and national structures that secretly overlap the structures of the Church's official!
I discovered that the NC (without anything transpire outside the ecclesiastical circles) are opposed by bishops committed culturally, and 'progressive', that 'traditionalists'.
Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli of Florence, Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini of Turin, Cardinal Salvatore Pappalardo of Palermo, the Bishop of Brescia Bruno Foresti, the Bishop of Ivrea Bettazzi Bishop, the Bishops of Novara Trieste, Foligno, Perugia, and many others, have highlighted the dangerousness of this organization.
When in 1988 Bishop Cesare Pagani, bishop of Perugia, died of a heart attack after a heated discussion with the leaders of this movement, they, rather than reflect on their own fanaticism, dared to speak of divine punishment!
In January 1996, in England, in Clifton, Catholic Bishop Mervyn Alexander, has launched an investigation on the Way NC. And when this investigation has run ended, banned from NC to recruit new members in the diocese!
The Assistant National "Catholic Action", Archbishop Agostino Superb, Bishop of Puglia, along with 19 other bishops of the region (all agree, no exceptions), sent in December of '96, the priests of the region in a pastoral alleging that the CN "threatens the communion in the Catholic Church" (see monthly "Jesus", February 1997, p. 36).
In Vicenza have created many problems! I knew for a fact that in Scandicci, near Florence, for a time a parish and split because of NC. Why should we attend to other small painful schisms?
It's not hard to see that the main reason why this organization and disliked the most progressive part of the Church lies in the fact that the NC completely betray all openings council of a social nature, all attempts to achieve in the world "theology of justice" , all the Church's interest for the poor and the marginalized, all the conditions of democratization in the Church! Betray the Second Vatican Council.
In contrast, the most traditional part of the Church (the one that has most at heart the preservation of sound doctrine and has enabled the Church to remain integral along the two thousand years of history) do not escape the serious heresies of the teachings, which are written in the catechism NC, which is kept strictly secret even to the simple followers without specific charges! Only the first volume (Orientations to the teams of catechists for the conversion phase) consists of no less than 373 pages, but the officials have always denied the existence!
Lutheran teachings have penetrated abundantly in the catechism NC: faith (fanaticism) allows us to completely undo the sins! The works do not count! The free interpretation of Holy Scripture provides the only form of morality! The true priest and "all the faithful," the priest and only a priest who "presides"! The sacrifices, fasts, promises to God, pilgrimages, are all useless! The S. Rosario and discredited and marginalized!
The Eucharistic Sacrifice and denied, and the Transubstantiation and reduced to a symbol! The Ministerial Priesthood deleted! All this and Lutheranism, Catholicism no!
"Man can not do good because you and separated from God, because he has sinned and has remained radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The Devil and his Lord. "This Jansenism, not Catholicism!
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle for them the presence of the body of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
According to my modest personal memories, the first successful priest launch the alarm about the dangerousness of the NC was Father Virginio Rotondi, who seguitissimi articles in the newspaper "The Time" which denounced the "chosen people" continue to not want to acknowledge that God speaks to us not only through the Holy Scriptures, but also through the teachings of the Church, and again, the scriptures should not be shrouded in an aura of "magic"!
Other priests, then, they realized the dangerousness of NC. I remember the first great theologian Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli, who wrote numerous books and other evidence of theological study accurately. His studies were continued by Bishop Gino Conti, brilliant polemicist and courageous pastor Pescara Don Elio Marighetto.
Even the most progressive of the Church, especially in England, through the work of many bishops, took a stand against this movement, and finally, a shocking book told with clarity and courage what is hidden behind the 'safe' leaders of the Neocatechumenal " Armies of the Pope "by Gordon Urquhart - Ed Ponte alle Grazie. Florence £ 38,000, easily available in each library.
With the concepts obsessive and relentless that "catechists" NC repeated continuously, you get a transformation of the individual personality that comes to a real brainwashing. Everything becomes normal and consequential damages, such as the payment of the 'tenth', which in practice and a bribe of 10% on family income that everyone, even the poorest, must pay and provide their assets and real estate!
CLERGY AND SEMINARS
The clergy who keeps them at a distance is labeled and insulted with the epithets of "Pharaoh", "devil", "Judas". While pastors and Bishops who receive them are rewarded financially. The "offers" per month (fixed salary and on time) are given based on the number of "Community" acting in the parish or diocese. The clergy and psychologically conditioned! How could, in fact, give up these handsome salaries? This explains the economic conditioning that sometimes dulls the will of the priests who have taken this organization and also explains the proliferation of special seminars and exclusive to NC (over 30) that create the Catholic priests who have very little, and that most obey the leaders the organization that the Bishops!
With a strategy that is very similar to that carried out by Freemasonry, have implemented a detailed employment of all focal points and decision-making tools of mass communication, in order to speed up the expansion and development of their organization. They made friends and brothers some journalists of Vatican Radio, as Dr. Roberto Piermarini, directors of public and private radio and some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, some senior bank executives as the Banca di Roma, etc.)..
MARRIAGE
Until the early meetings is said to the followers of the marriage, the family, work, children, possessions, are "idols" that are hated. Kiko does tell his catechists that "the family is a myth when it becomes terrible religion. The Christianity must destroy it. " We must therefore give priority to the "Community"! It is also said that if his wife and in love with her husband, or the husband and in love with his wife, and created an idol! ... then you have to learn to hate him!
In the "ballots" (exams) s'insiste on the fact that the link is broken parents and children and that the children are offered to the community ('sons of the Community'). They also say: "The children are idols" and suffer much love seeing the "human" and "neurotic" parents! (Kiko and convinced that the parents are all "neurotic" because they did not want their children!). I have personally witnessed that the figure of the father is violated and annulled. Parents should make a public confession before the children which, therefore, are aware of gory details and ashamed of their intimate life. The parental image and destroyed!
The boys sucked completely into the CN, are deprived of all the main things of youth: external friendships, fun, freedom, contemporary culture, opportunities to think and choose for ourselves! The activities of political, social, charitable and even those are, for them, a waste of time.
Twenty years of 'The Way' create Christians in series. The changes take place at specific times, set by the catechists (neither before, nor after). The action of grace does not exist! Faith comes only at the end of the Way, with the renewal of baptismal vows. And 'the cult that sets dates for when they have to be the "profound changes".
With arcane rituals and secret knowledge, the NC draws the cunning of the ancient "Gnosticism" and the current "Freemasonry". It 'sa cheap mysticism which has an encounter with the Movement as the most important event since the coming of Christ!
Among the memories alive and most disturbing of years spent at Community, remember who had always lived life before meeting the CN in a negative way, empty, hopeless, inconclusive, and the meeting with the NC as the lighting solution of all problems! Who did not conform to this vision compulsory collective, was pitied as one who had not yet found Christ! The others, however, that renouncing their own personality, their own desires and their ideas submitted themselves to the authority of the Catechist, were prepared to take more and more responsibility!
In anticipation that someone could open their eyes and to rebel against the "brainwashing" allertavano the followers telling them: "If your father, your mother, your husband, will doubt the goodness and holiness of the CN, and means that the devil speaking in them do not listen. "
In a short time, even the way they talk, the linguistic terms, the movements of the body and arms, the look ... everything is approved and begins to Neocatechumenal a situation of perpetual misunderstanding with the outside world. Young people are racing to dress up or have a beard like Kiko, their guru.
According within the Community do not you realize structures that orchestrate everything, even emotions! All that and outside the Community, slowly loses its value and interest! The liturgies night long and tiring, sapping the body and mind weaken to the point that that which is imposed by the managers all the swear!
The numbness of the mind is part of the indoctrination process. The adept is rendered dazed and drunk to the point of finding meaning to his life only and nowhere else in the future.
Try doing all the same feelings, the "Managers" are led to believe that this demonstrates the strong presence of the Spirit of God! The result is a conviction so strong that when one is in other environments, it feels so vulnerable to risk and depression because now tied for life to those brothers and most can not do without it. Only that and his family!
The secret is a haunting thing: you can not ask questions about what that will follow, we can not reveal any details of the "Way" to outsiders, even to members of a lower level should not leak any of this happens inside! With spirited look bosses always say that over the next "steps" (periodic) you will access to a growing closeness to the wonders of God, and the important trust of the "Way", that of them, and thank not to be " Sunday Christians "!
They take you to live life only within the precincts of the Community, as if the whole world is infected. External interests, culture, education, politics, art, philosophy, even the priests and bishops not NC, can defile and get away from that (without you n'accorga) and become your prison. Since the first ballot remind you that you put your signature on the "Book of Life" (the Bible of the Community), and therefore you can not "betray" ... "Jesus and the past, this time for you ... could not spend more! ... Jesus is acting through the Catechists. " With these and other similar expressions can also affect the minds more open and free.
Very significant, and that there the similarity between the ritual of the signature on the Bible of the Community, with the solemn commitments that require the adepts of Freemasonry and the Mafia!
To lock the rare joints try to frighten the members, playing on their fear of being "rejected" by the "community". Fear, guilt and dependence on "Community" are huge! It 'a real psychological terrorism.
The most important thing is to be able to cancel any followers in self-esteem, to be able to instill in them the idea that only the CN can give them benefits, so bringing them to a complete dependence. In the first two years of pre-catechumenate involve them with threats and promises of new astonishing revelations as: "Tonight the Church will give the Glorious Cross." Almost competing with each other, some report the misfortunes happened to those who have departed from the "Way" or even thought of it!
Each Community and convinced that he had received from God the task of saving the Catholic Church who is dying. Everyone argues, then, that salvation can be found only amongst NC! Gradually, they begin to use the term as a synonym for the whole of the Community Church NC! Any Catholic, but also a practicing member of the movement, is pitied and labeled as a "bigot", "Collotorto", "pay"! The normal Christian and worthless!
Cunningly they do not want to be called a 'Movement', to believe that true Christians are those who are on the Path. Just as Jehovah's Witnesses also say about themselves: "We are the people of Truth, are not an organization." From the beginning forbid that you refer to any type of organization. Do not have an association, not a congregation, not a movement, not a club, not a Community base, not a religious order! Their luciferin strategy and to not appear! Want to take over the Catholic Church but in a subtle and hidden.
According to the technique of brainwashing, neologisms and jargon of NC lead the members to accept new ideas, without any guarantee of attendibility! The particular language creates a sense of dependency and of blind obedience, as well as of successful exclusive membership to an elite group!
Insensibly and subtly led to believe and to consider how their real family the Community NC, adopting the terms 'brother' and 'sister' to recognize each member. Replace the term priest to priest. Sparano strong words and incomprehensible to outsiders, such as 'kerygma', 'koinonia', 'kenosis', 'existential', 'ontological', 'Servant of Yahweh', 'glorious Cross', to make an impression on the ordinary people, as if to believe to have God always in your pocket!
With mischievous gradually, the NC take over the parish 'exclusively': make the introductions to the readings of the Mass, choose the songs, teach catechism to the communicants and confirmands; prepare the Passover liturgy, ousting those who were against them and substituting for any other body. The pastor loses control of the situation as well.
In the rare cases in which the priest is able to remove them, will have to expect a terrible reaction. Then explode all their fanaticism. The poor man will meet with great difficulty to replace them in a peaceful and convenient, they will be able to replace the entry considerable monthly supply (having renounced that of CN), much less will succeed to defend against insults and slander that they put around. When a pastor of the province of Rome was able to get rid of NC, I immediately just because of a stroke robbed him of almost all the faithful.
Suggestive techniques are used in pairs to form many will go house to house in search of people, to bring it to the first catechesis. They come with safety, reciting a speech
Intimidated and subjected the poor shall not be barred out of the "community" if only because it establishes an indissoluble bond with that group of people and knowledge of the most hidden secrets and fears, through the "public confessions"!
memorized, forcibly full of enthusiasm, in an altered voice and safe, swapping in spots.
A serious international organization, who has studied religious sects in the world (FAIR) has observed: "Cults use sophisticated techniques that cause the destruction of'' I ', the change in thinking and psychological dependence. The seven members can keep in a state of heightened suggestibility through lack of sleep, fasting or special powers, spiritual exercises, the constant indoctrination and group experiences subsidiaries ".
The 'Confessions public' are the most classic and proven technique that is used to cement together the members of the Community and to control them in the depths of the soul.
In 'Living Together' that take place in a few days "week-end" the members of the Community are inspected (the so-called 'Ride' experiences) and psychological pressure, second only to 'Ballots'. These 'Ballots' are a terrible test, in which the Chiefs (who are lay people) inquisiscono the soul of the poor 'brothers' flaunting the authority to be able to determine the degree of growth in the faith of each of them. You get, in practice, to confess to a layman. The priest, reduced to the role of the priest who acts only as appearance, only serves to give the illusion that they are doing what is wanted and allowed by the Church.
Sometimes used psychological tricks, such as the'' total darkness' (the so-called 'Skylight') combined with long silences, they get an overwhelming impact on the poor stressed minds. All these things were prepared and meticulously prepared by Kiko Arguello in the secret book: "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the conversion phase." In that book Kiko presenting in detail the rituals specially designed to create the maximum psychological impact in order to dramatize every situation.
To the extent that decreases the critical sense of the members, the Catechists increase the need of obedience, complete and irrational and come to say solemnly that "Catechists have Charisma and may demand blind obedience."
The heads of the CN come to have full control of all with a personal manipulation exercised by controlling the environment, creating a rarefied atmosphere, exploiting the public confessions and the exchange of experiences and supervised the use of jargon unique, up to also get to influence their future desires. And 'well-known fact that restricting the vocabulary used, are reduced to the same extent the ability to think and feel. Transform the image that everyone has of himself through the review of all the events previously experienced. 'Before' life was ugly, "after" the meeting with the NC, life becomes brighter because there is always someone who will say what needs to be done!
The destruction of the individual personality and one of the objectives pursued by most Heads NC. Insistently repeated, "You must die to yourself, destroy yourself." The poor 'brother' you just have to hold on to the movement and life of his triumphs, his struggles, his collections of money. Friends of the Way become his friends, critics or opponents become enemies of the Way! Everyone loses its independence and its way of thinking, nothing has more value than that which proposes the Way. Teach us not to react to wrongs that are done to ensure the compliance of States and the dependence of the Heads! Lead to hate everything that can be the object of emotional attachment or love (spouse, hobbies, career, clock, books ...), why present them as 'idols', as if they were competitors to the Community.
Individual resources (imagination, creativity, etc.)., So encouraged in Catholic Associations (Scout, Caritas, Catholic Action, St. Vincent, etc..), Are repressed in the NC.
Since further catechesis give the task of bringing family and friends, bombarding them with expressions borrowed from the Jehovah's Witnesses: "Get to know our friends! Come and see! Then you'll understand! No one can understand it, if you do not live. " Repeated at all: "You can not judge", preventing anyone from making even the smallest objection. They shouted in his face to the Bishops who are allowed to object to something! Any dialogue and nearly impossible!
Those then who, having made this "wonderful experience" show critics are presented as unreliable due to the fact that they did all the experience, or because they are a borderline case, or have never met Christ. Any attempt at dialogue is killed, saying: "We will pray for you!" How to say "You do not understand anything. We are always right. " Their 'leaders' should only preach, never give explanations!
For every twenty years (and more) in The Way, the members are kept in a state of absolute submission, and they are constantly repeated message of sin and corruption. In order to move forward, and fundamental magnify the conscience of the state of sin, thus destroying any personality! Grace does not exist! The man who can not sin, so do not feel responsible! Everyone must feel great sinners, completely dependent on the Catechists who with the power given to them by the Holy Spirit announce Salvation!
Some concepts are repeated beyond belief: "If you are not in THIS WORD, you are lost, because outside of it there is only death." "I completely rid from slavery in Egypt! Start the walk with a Community! Receive the Messiah coming to liberate you! Put your trust in him and he will guide you! It happens that some leave the CN abandoning Moses (Kiko) and the Pharaoh attacks them and destroys them. "
The little practicing Catholic or secular unprepared, fail to distinguish between what the Scriptures say in reference to a well-defined historical context, from what the catechists would have you believe as referring to their movement. This also serves to keep people subjugated to them!
Gradually lead to absurd accept expressions such as: "Catechists have Karisma! Catechists speak in the name of God! If you say no to a Catechist, say no to God! "
Life in the NC and something totalizing every sacrament is prepared and held in the Community; children receive the baptism in the Community, since children must attend the resonances in the polls and the Eucharistic liturgy (even that of the Easter night), child receive the catechesis of young people will have to make choices in life, guided by their catechists and through them, will be blackmailed any recalcitrant spouse.
In the course of the Way is made a depletion of personality, which leads to family breakdown, the destruction of the life of the parishes and the emanation of heresies in quantity through several cycles of catechesis that last 2/3 years each: Shema, prayer, Traditio symbol , Redditio Symboli, Our Father, Election, renewal of baptismal promises!
Like all sectarian organizations, including the Neocatechumenal considered as traitors those who drop out, and then holds them up to those who remain, as the quintessence of the devil, who is creating a fear and a greater submission.
The strong sense of group identification blows up powerful feelings of guilt in those who would leave, because they have taught them that those who leave the NC, let God! Moreover, as you can leave those who know your most intimate secrets? How could you go easy 'Sunday Christian'? Often, even the few who manage to free themselves, remain with the desire to return to the Way which made them dependent and insecure, no longer able to live an independent life! And to think that claim to form Christians ADULTS! Life in a common parish seems less beautiful (even if most true) after so much triumphalism among the CN.
Catechists require long periods of fasting, accompanied by dark, Bible readings, public confessions soggioganti, followed, at the right time, festive lunches (agape) that artificially do go the "Brothers of the Community" over the moon illusion and make them feel closer to God This is the famous "love bomb" characteristic of all religious sects that practiced in cycles, makes it totally obedient to their bosses.
Catechists rarely give explicit prohibitions, not necessary because every individual and collective behavior and approved from the beginning and no one will change more or waived.
The time off work is completely absorbed by the commitments of the community. This increase is the exclusive friendships within the group; permanently influence people and cut ties with the outside world.
The activities of the community are so all-encompassing that hijack "full" of the individual, to the point of turning it into a "fundamentalist" without having the ability to talk more calmly with strangers because now unable to accept any compromise. Continuously repeats them: "This is definitely right! This is wrong. " "Who said that?
I have heard from some of their leaders, with the prolific forced and irresponsible, they calculated that in the decades may come to take possession of the Church, and some dare ... World!
God! (Which speaks through the Catechist), "and the mind, accustomed to move only along the rails of religious fundamentalism, it becomes rigid.
Every living or relationship of any kind with people outside the sect becomes impossible, because the NC can not even taking into account the most behave differently from what has been instilled within its Community. To the extent that spend months and years, the subject is convinced by the Catechists, in the context of collective ceremonies and triumphant, his spirituality and his Way of Faith are in great growth, while in reality he grows the "fanaticism" . With clever suggestion and convinced of continuous improvement, while in reality worsens eye.
Some (including this writer) have deluded at least create a situation of compromise, which could make it livable and possible a relationship with them. The results have been catastrophic! Not only do they consider the "compromise" the same way as a curse, but the blind obedience to their leaders must be resolute, complete and concretized "literally"!
The followers are isolated to the point that you just senton, insecure, suspicious of all those who, not being of the movement, can not understand. You do not trust anyone and are choked with more isolation itself. To avoid any defection, the Catechists convince everyone that if they have any doubts, do not have to expose them to priests or bishops because even they understand.
I can speak from personal experience. I was able to externalize my doubts to some ex-brother of Way or my children, giving the critical testimony, avallandola with the support of a good book and saying, "Think about it and ask the help of a good priest who is not NC". Now the person who went by the powerful Catechists, obviously, they told them that I was the devil himself!
In March of 1993 my first child, after promising to read books critical of the Catholic Neocatechumenate, threw them in the bin after 5 minutes of garbage, with joy of the brothers of the community!
In some cases, the desire to have children who are the mirror of catechists, means that you conceive children (even physically with her husband) knowing and hoping to be educated and brought up by the catechist. These, in fact, becomes the true father from the standpoint of psychological and educational. Takes a real betrayal psychological against the spouse and the traditional Christian family disappears. The family no longer exists.
All come to believe blindly what they say the supreme chiefs of this sectarian movement that show to be so excited to be declared explicitly: "We have the Charisma! Kiko and directly inspired by God. " To have a progressive influence, are also used by psychologists. Entire families are so swallowed up in the abyss in the most natural in the world, almost drawn to a Pied Piper.
Mental rigidity and date the acquisition of several concepts obliging, without that we can discuss. The poor people who fall for it can not even imagine different solutions from those proposed by the sect.
The intellectual and cultural poverty, combined with the corrupting power of money, do the rest. Scholars hired, with artificial reasoning, support the thesis that there's incredible to say that those opposed to the seven it does to protect financial interests, and while the opposite is true, or that they are a way to reach God
Other psychologists intellectually honest showed a suspicious similarity between the coercive methods used in the CN with the famous three phases of the techniques of 'brainwashing' used in China in the 50s to convert the Chinese to communism: Thawing-Modification-refreezing.
It seems that psychologists of this sect have applied these techniques to the letter, experiencing them on so many unfortunates who, in good faith, did not realize to come trapped, as if they had fallen on an invisible "Canvas spider."
On the other hand it is known that the religious sects implement "thought reform" that is, a rational belief that changes the concept of life and persuades you that only those who belong to the sect knows the truth.
In public confessions and during the 'resonance' and is psychologically compelled to prove to be in line with the teachings of the sect, to say the things that the leaders want them to be called ... and with the same words that the leaders want them to be spoken!
Particular sadness and concern can be seen in the permanent and irreversible damage that can bring small children, those who are born practically have already parents in "The Way."
To understand what is happening and simplicity, and to remember the experience of laboratory known as the 'bandage kitty'.
If a newborn kitten, a little 'time, you put a bandage over one eye, when it takes off, that eye will be found partially atrophied and no longer in a position to buy the normal visual ability, even with vigorous rehabilitations .
Children who, trained from birth in a religious sect, as adults want to get out, they are not able to take responsibility in areas that require independent initiative, imagination, culture, interfaith tolerance, knowledge of contemporary thought, and so on.
Other strong conditioning and given by CASH.
The sums raked by this sect are something huge and difficult to assess. It ranges from 10% of all earnings from employment or professional or retired, donations, inheritance, demonstration of being detached from the money through renunciation of personal and family.
The frequent collections of money are done with a black plastic bag (the bag to the garbage) that is run. Everyone puts in the money or valuables.
The money used in the purchase and maintenance of luxurious residences, exclusive of seminars and also for the payment of salaries to those priests and the bishops who have shown good in facilitating the expansion of the Way. Of course, such salaries, although originating from a single national tariff and data in proportion to the number of 'communities' existing in the territory, are not officially called 'wages', but 'offers'. The substance does not change.
More money is spent on public relations, and to get a good image in the Catholic world. Only a small part is used in favor of brothers of the community in need and this is given as the result of great sacrifices and a source of continuing blackmail and debts of gratitude. In practice, the first s'impoveriscono families with prolificacy irresponsible, then keep connected with the blackmail of money.
The money and the most valuable asset they hold dear the highest leaders of the Movement. A short could serve to influence the next Conclave, in competition with other sectarian movements sprung up in recent years within the Church.
The river of money that enters continuously into the coffers of the movement, not only because the offers 'spontaneous', but also by the exclusive sale of thousands of objects of worship with the brand of Kiko. I refer to lecterns, crosses, altar cloths for, carpets, vases, stoles, tunics, etc.. All of these items are exclusive, manufactured in their factory, signed by their guru, sold at 'exclusive'. Even the final rite of baptism in the Jordan River and celebrated by wearing a tunic expensive 'branded' with travel and accommodation organized by the sect.
"Since I came to miss the international funds" in May of this year (2001) Kiko has asked all the Communities that had the 2nd Step to pay urgent (even at the cost of making a bank guarantee) the sum of ten million to complete the construction of the 'Domus Galileae', "the greatest work of its kind in Palestine." If true what they say themselves (more than six thousand Communities in Italy alone), how many hundreds of billions will have collected and how they will use it really?
Of course, Kiko has a strong business sense who knows disguise offering its high spirituality and the deluded, full of enthusiasm for him, believe and pay.
A website Neo Catechumenal has even prepared the eulogy for the canonization of the "founders" Kiko and Carmen, considering newly S. Francis and St. Chiara!
I believe that these false biographies need to be treated, the more that the Church, by a group of clinical psychiatrists!
NC I often speak of "persecution." When someone like me, denounces the horrible fruits of the Way, is insulted, mocked, pitied; stigmatized as Judas, traitor, devil, Pharaoh.
Then rejoice in the Community because they consider criticism as 'persecution' they feel their 'holiness' and the rightness of their experience.
The real persecutions suffered other. I was taken out and the family, children, love their grandchildren, the house, etc..). Often I hear stories that make your skin crawl: people stuck in their career or work from superiors and managers who are catechists NC, professors damaged at school, transferred Bishops, priests and driven many pleasures of the genre.
One wonders why the bishops do not ever intervene in a matter so serious. I try to suggest some answers.
• Many are accustomed to obey unquestioningly the orders from above.
• Many are stunned by the roar of the organization NC.
• Some can no longer do without the monthly salaries of the sect.
• All, however, will have to deal with their conscience and the judgment of God
Bishops should also understand that the "New Ecclesial Movements" as the Way NC and others, being blind obedience and absolute structures, facilitate the decisions of the summit! You could get in a not too distant future, decisions made by the Pope along with a few "leaders" pseudo-seven, and the role of bishops, willed by Christ himself, could disappear!
Why then the civil authorities do not intervene?
The only criminal law that could be called into question and that the psychological plagiarism (art. 603 CP) which, unfortunately, in 1981, was declared unconstitutional. The Constitutional Court shall recommend, then, that to provide himself soon to its reformulation. It 'superfluous to point out that the unconstitutionality was stimulated by numerous Italian and foreign religious sects. Because 20 years from its reformulation and stops at the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives? I can not answer!
I remember, however, that several lawyers Neocatechumenal they laughed in my face and said: "You can not do anything about it, because in Italy the plagiarism does not exist anymore."
The Lord has forgiven you all always. The only ones for which there seems to have been lost were the Pharisees, false and hypocritical, and the Devil.
Big Heads Neocatechumenal for me the image of both.

Join the Neocatechumenal Movement is not a matter of free choice, but a systematic psychological manipulation according to the techniques of "brainwashing."
Sometimes the choices that appear free in reality they are not. And what happens at the end of "cohabitation" which concludes the cycle of catechesis fifteen introducing the participants in the Neocatechumenal Way. At that moment, unconsciously, a person leaves the Catholic Church, to join a new religion whose doctrine and practice are at odds with his former faith, while remaining convinced of being rooted in Orthodoxy which is the guarantor of the passive figure of a priest-presbyter.
Individuals attracted to the community, first ignore the nature of the plot, slowly but surely, will take them to be converted, and the training methods that will be submitted so as to reach uncritical and dogmatic adherence to the principles of full faith and all 'religious ideology proposed by the Way as a whole, to produce the plagiarism of personality.
At the stage of the Neocatechumenal Way, which they call the "Second Ballot" Kiko urges catechists to scrutinize the people according to three criteria:
1) sehannocambiatomentalita; 2) sesisonoprovaticonibeni; 3) sehannofattoilcammino.
Other elements that give the Neocatechumenal Movement, the taste of a sect are: the hierarchical stratification within the movement, rites of passage and access developed, continuous monitoring of orthodoxy, commitment and proselytism.
Membership in the group and so strong as to be exclusive and incompatible with participation in social life. The process of indoctrination that is used within the Movement is not compatible with the Catholic faith because of sophisticated mechanisms of psychological influence that do not respect the person, and psychological pressure to which the person is not aware of or passively accepts, unaware of what the is happening.
The deleterious consequences of this conditioning on people often remain even when the catechumen left the group and sometimes psychologically mark irreversibly damages the mental health of the most vulnerable.
The Neocatechumenal Movement is configured as a group of Christian sectarianism and, as all sects, use an attitude of intolerance combined with an aggressive proselytism. Imposes its own particular way of thinking, feeling, acting, contrary to the Church asks the man an aware and responsible consent. But the "constraint" and latent and not easily recognizable, as well as the "evil" does not appear as such, but it looks "good." The Catholic Church in the Pastoral Note of May 30, 1993, prepared by the Secretariat for Ecumenism and Dialogue of the CEI, mentions the "brainwashing" in these terms: "A good reason can be observed that the sects and new religious movements normally appear closed to dialogue and hearing how the announcement by means of propaganda who use psychological pressure tend to take the other party in order to achieve total and uncritical adherence, to produce, in some cases, the plagiarism of personality. " And again: "It sometimes happens that the followers of a cult are bound by forms of coercion and supervision, until you get to actual limitations of personal freedom. In these cases we are faced with a successfully imposed and protected." In this document, we can then make explicit reference to the fact that some groups are systems of psychological pressure that do not respect the people.
However, the term "brainwashing" was introduced in the early 50's by Edward Hunter Jr., journalist correspondent in Hong Kong for a Miami newspaper, to translate a Chinese word (brain-washing) which means "cleaning of mind. " It was a system of persuasion used to clear the mind of the Chinese from the old beliefs and "convert" the ideals and programs communists. There were three phases of the process "thaw", which was to begin to doubt their own principles, to the point of wanting to leave, "modification", which came at a time when the prisoner began to glimpse the positives in the communist ideology and put themselves in the wake of others who had accepted it, "refreezing", which was to be convinced of the goodness of the new ideas that ended up being finally accepted. The subject so "Treaty" is made aware of the vulnerability of his situation and this puts you in a position to prepare his defense if he were to be attacked; prepared in this way and hard that he be influenced by those who would him to question the new location where you and lying.
And the technique that uses the movement N.C. in its recruitment process. The fifteen introductory catechesis, in which is proclaimed the Kerygma, correspond to the phase of the Chinese "defrosting". At this stage, we tend to demolish the certainties that members have, especially if they are practicing Catholics. It is said that "The Church, sacrament of salvation, today parishes do not see anywhere, rather they are the offices, where people go to Mass, baptism, though not a sacrament of salvation" (p. 31, from text "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the first ballot baptismal" The SCR). And again: "what we call Christians are a stumbling block to those who are no longer in the church" (p. 62, The SCR). They ridiculed the spirituality recommended by the Magisterium: "Careful with certain concepts of God and all that good kind mercy .... Sacred Heart, with his hand and his face so retouched, all sugar and honey, and all soavino tenerino ... .. " "The Catholic Church is full of paganism and idolatry" (p. 34 of the book "Introduction to prayer"). "... In Rome with cardinals, the Curia ..., everyone goes about his business, there is no pastoral them true: in Rome has never been a pastoral. And the worst land in the world" (p. 183 of the text "Introduction to prayer"). "We want to form a community in the parish that is a sign. This changes the pastoral communities in the long run and the structure of the parish." (By the "Guidelines for teams of catechists for the conversion phase").
These messages are received well by whom and weak faith or for various reasons and was disappointed by the Catholic Church and begins to believe that the true church is in the community. Kiko says: "The Neocatechumenal communities are the church itself which is something very different from the group of the ladies of St. Vincent, a group of Catholic Action ... and a path that the Church because if you find that the Action Catholic fruit, and do not know where to go, you can in this way meet the faith. " (P. 55, The SCR). "Do you think you will be scrutinized when you are in front of Jesus Christ, even though I am a fool, a villain, a moron, when you're sitting talking to me, at that time you'll be talking with Jesus Christ, we do a service in his name and God inspires us "(p. 90, II SCR).
We are at the stage of "modification": the members of the community are beginning to see the positive aspects of community life (interest and attention to those who show that they have a problem that plagues, climate friendly and festive welcome, "persons" on a monthly basis that are enthusiastically received by members as an escape from the "routine" daily), seen as a good thing to accept and make their own, starting to walk down that spiral with which some scholars of the problem is the process of membership of seven. Thus the individual will depart more and more from its background (family ties, social ties, value-categories), as it follows a loop, is losing sight of the usual references, just seeing the reality proposed by the group. Begins the third stage of the process corresponding to the phase of the Chinese "refreezing".
At first, the decision to enter and was free and conscious after entering the vortex drag the person proceeds. The community becomes the most important thing in the life of the aspirant.
Kiko says: "When you came into the community, even you were polytheists and for you the truth, and the life was the work, the family, the 'affirmation of yourself, your children, your company, the machine and among all these things you had also the community. At this point the Way, four years later, things are a bit 'different, and now, because you are convinced that these things do not give you all happiness, now the Lord can say, "Hear, O Israel, I am the 'friend, the others are not "(p. 72 of the text" Shema ")." There's a lot of people that bother to go to the community, but they can not leave because the Word has opened the truth of the world and now you can not sell more because ... where would they go? If the salt loses its flavor, now you do not need to anything else but to be trodden under foot of men. Become a wretched man, do not serve anything, because if I was at least as those who have not known the catechumenate and do not know anything, then you alieneresti with TV or diventeresti member of Rome and you'll would go with the great illusion to see her play every Sunday. BUT YOU ARE A MARKED STATE FIRE AND THIS IS NOT IT YOU CAN 'TAKE NO "(page 103 of the book" Shema ").
With these words Kiko nails forever the Way adepts and does not scruple to cast curses on those who, waking from the spell, in a moment of clarity, they wanted to go back: "... My brother, you can go back: but be careful! Beware brothers, because God has sent catechists concrete, who have said that they saw Jesus Christ. GONE IF THE BLOOD OF JESUS 'CHRIST FOR OUR LIABILITY WITNESS' ON YOU. " (P. 412 "Introduction to prayer"). If the adept shows some signs of hesitation catechists the "hold" reminding him that he put his signature on the Book of Life, that the copy of the Bible in the community, in a ceremony known as the first ballot. Then he was told that he was free not to sign and stop the "Way" sign meant salvation assured, do not sign up losing her forever. "Now, putting your name say your is the choice that God has done for you from all eternity. Rejoice for one thing: your names are written in heaven (p. 143" The Ballot ").
The group, which thus becomes the prison in which all feel the catechists are free, but in reality morally "chained". In this atmosphere of psychological terror held the "votes", conducted by ordinary lay people that replace the priest confessors and are built by the brothers who claim to know the most intimate things in their lives in this way becomes the patrimony of the whole community . Under the effect of "brainwashing" the catechumens are forced to donate their goods. "Man looks in real life. So you sell the goods in the community. Do not tell this to people because it should all be running" (pg. 50, "Guidelines, version 1982"). "... If there are rumors that country to enter this community you have to sell assets, is no longer in the catechesis" (p. 97, II SCR). "In many people living together rebels and does not intend to sell their goods and thinks he needs to do a elemosinuccia do not understand ..." (pg. 96, "Shema").
In conclusion, the Movement Neocatechumenal the problem lies not only in doctrinal content decidedly incompatible with the Catholic faith, but also in the psychological technique of indoctrination that is used by catechists, tending to humiliate people lowering their self-esteem in order to make them more malleable and receptive to ideas often strange group, conveyed in the course of long and stressful catechesis held in hours, even at night and in a climate of secrecy.
How much longer do we have to wait, we are victims of the deceit of the Neocatechumenal Movement, before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has decided to issue a document that can stop Kiko, Carmen and their catechists who continue to quietly spread their false doctrine, domineering parishes in the passive presence of priests, priests who offer the '"orthodoxy" of their catechesis even when they feel heavy accusations against the Catholic Church?
As long as you allow, adopting the tactics of silence, which continue to destroy families and parishes? Why let the Neocatechumenal say that the Holy Father approves and blesses them when you know that the false claim? And if the Pope knows (and now people will believe) what we all found out, why let it be blamed for complicity and all dogmatic errors scattered in the "catechesis" of Kiko and Carmen? Clear taste of catechesis heretical, filoprotestanti, taught by lay people without a proper theological training, in hours, even at night and in a climate of secrecy, with a psychological technique of indoctrination which tends to humiliate people lowering their self-esteem so that they are more malleable and receptive to the ideas of aberrant movement. And what about the spiritual and psychological consequences on the psyche of many sometimes very serious (loss of personal identity, insecurity, severe forms of depression to suicide ...)? Those who would give up the Way can not, the choice to enter the beginning and was free and conscious after entering the group the person proceeds dragged. Undergoes, is silent and obeys blindly catechists that frighten with threats and curses anyone who shows any sign of hesitation. Those who have come asking for help to the Church denouncing abuse but are not heard from anyone. Weigh on your conscience for the sins of those who are disillusioned attitude of duplicity adopted by the Holy See, they lose faith and discredit the figure of the Pope. The doctrine of Kiko now you know the secret of thirty years and been revealed thanks to zealous churchmen who you know well and whose books were made by the same in your hands. The time is ripe. What is stubbornly silent, cover and wait? And maybe you want to avoid the scandal? We have to deal with God before the men of this land, and before His judgment seat we must all appear: Pope, Bishops and Cardinals included.
It would be enough, without creating a scandal - and if you want to avoid this - that all bishops (if it is true that all belong to the same Church) forbade:
• catechesis in the parishes of Kiko and Carmen behind closed doors with their pseudocatechismo (the Gospel must be "shouted from the rooftops" and the Catechism of the Church gave to the faithful and only one);
• the Eucharistic celebration on Saturday night (You know that the Neocatechumenal celebrate several masses at the same time - one for each group - and all outside the normal Sunday liturgy). Yet in pastoral note of the CEI, July 15, 1984, "The Day of the Lord", our bishops are not inviting "over the right not to multiply the number of Sunday Masses, and here and there, even the festive masses on Saturday evening," as this practice of "contemporary is made of serious injury to the pastoral care and undermines the truth of the festive celebration"?
• the performance of their program by requiring them to follow the parish or diocesan pastoral program.
We are tired of waiting. The time of Truth and the junta. Hurry up to take action before it is too late. We do not want to think of being betrayed by our pastors. What an enormous shame it would be for the Church: HAVE BETRAYED THE FAITH OF CHRIST, TO PROMOTE THE CHRIST OF KIKO.
FATHER ZOFFOLI
In June 1996, in a hospital in Rome, he was admitted a "cherub old," as it was called, a sweet and holy priest, theologian and professor of theology in the most famous Roman Catholic university, the Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli.
This good priest, a prolific writer of many books on theology, philosophy, history, the ascetic, the ageografia, etc.., In recent years he had devoted his studies also highlight the great danger of the birth and development within the Catholic Church, the secret religious sect called "Neo Catechumenal Way."
On June 1, 1996, a few days before his death, which occurred the following June 16, presented himself to him, recognizing the intellectual honesty of the great priest, Kiko, the founder of the sect itself. Father Zoffoli said, "Kiko, I love you." Kiko said, "I know father what you did, did it for love of the Church." Zoffoli said, "for the sake of Truth, and do it again! .. Kiko pray for me" and Kiko replied: ".. and you father to pray for me!" .. So Kiko the gift his painting of the "Good Shepherd" and kiss his hand, as they used to do, until not long ago, against the priests.
I'd never had pain in my solidarity, dazed by the presence of two irreconcilable entities: a sect which claimed to be the true Church and the Catholic Church, that day I knew which way was the true Church of Christ was with the Father Zoffoli!

CANVAS OF THE SPIDER
PLAGIARISM IN PSYCHOLOGICAL NEOCATECHUMENAL WAY
Augusto Faustini
"There are prisons that have bars: solid bars you see, and you can cut. There
prisons, which have invisible barriers that can not be grasped and shook with anger, while
smiling tell you:
"But you are free! The door is open ... open! Can get out." (Claud Buffet)
Author's Note
In recent months I have received numerous testimonies from all over Italy and the world and from every
walks of life. The most awaited and welcome were those of Bishops. In the testimonies of those who were
just came out or was about to exit the Way I felt so much insecurity and fear, but also the
need a word of explanation and safety. I had the impression of being in front of
a spider's web of a tarantula that poisons everything that ensnares: individuals, families, the Church,
society.
Membership is not 'the result of a free choice
What I say now is the result of personal experience living in the Way NC. My thoughts do not
have claims: I recognize you do not have adequate psychological preparation, but I want to make
in the public domain a reality that to me seemed the result of a technique of 'washing
brain 'designed to depersonalize, implementation at the expense of many ordinary people who in good faith
have embarked on a 'Way' to rediscover their faith or simply to deepen the
content.
It almost seems that nowadays has become so demanding and tiring to think that you
preference is to use simplifications and you deploy without first having made a genuine path of
knowledge and discernment.
Instead of listening to others, you prefer to consolidate its position, defending it at all costs.
I want my writing to come not only to ecclesiastical hierarchies responsible, but
especially to the simple faithful.
Too many theological errors have to define 'non-Catholic', but 'heretic' this movement. I
I only make signs, leaving the priests and theologians who have dealt with the deepening
argument (see References).
Many techniques of plagiarism used in this sect, are also used in other secret sects, both inside and
outside of Christianity, as we have seen recently in the case of poor
Archbishop Milingo,
manipulated by the cult of the Moon. However, while the sects recognized as highly dangerous
(Such as Jehovah's Witnesses or Satanic cults) because we can defend the Church and society
Civil help inform and, when this place thrives in the Catholic Church, we can not
defend, as it operates in a subtle and ambiguous situation for which there is no information.
Many priests, while strongly opposed, they avoid talking about it for fear of tarnishing the Church.
But I believe that the Church must purify and get rid of those who offer themselves as super
apostles but that really take advantage of people simple and available, rich in ideals that hope
increase in this 'Way', which supposedly blessed by God
I dedicate these thoughts to my wife, which prevented me from catechists can attend at
of two major surgeries, my grandchildren, but already many that do not call me grandfather to
their parents, who once called me dad, young people thirsting for true ideals, in the hope of
save them from the sects, and those already in the 'Way', in the hope that open their eyes and
recognize the "Canvas spider" which have fallen and from which have been completely
enmeshed and entangled.
We all believe that those who have intelligence and a good culture (perhaps graduate), who has his feet firmly
balances in land, can never end up in a secret religious sect.
Nothing could be more wrong!
No one can 'be considered safe from plagiarism and brainwashing
In the course of life all go through periods of increased vulnerability due to losses, serious
diseases, severe grief or lack of ideals.
We all need to feel understood, accepted, loved, and therefore frequenting environments
facilitate this.
The leaders of sects scientifically organize every activity, severing relations with the outside world
to miss any comparison, so that those who do not attend s'accorga of slow but steady
changes that slowly envelop the adept in an invisible "Canvas Spider."
The 'Neocatechumenal Communities' born after 'Ad'. Ordinary lay people present themselves to the
pastor and ask to make a catechesis for adults.
I 'catechists' do catechesis bombing concepts with pseudo-Protestant, without understanding the
their membership of an organization and, above all, without warn that for them is beginning a
commitment that will last at least twenty years. Despite a number of 'out of tune' (which only a few well-
formed in the Church's teaching experience) usually all remain confident to listen, and
reassured by the presence of the parish priest who acts as a guarantor and gives assurance that it is still in a
proposal Catholic.
All are magnetized by proclaiming catechesis firmly. They believe that what
propose is not the result of a preparation table and, above all, that is the only way
of being authentic Christians.
Certain statements catechists give rise to doubts and surprises, but they provide more and
enjoy the unconditional support of the Pope only a few discover that the Catholic Church does not have them
never officially approved, even though they always try to hide, deceive with false claims.
As in all seven, at the appropriate time a cracker what psychologists
call the 'Love Bomb' (the love bomb) by artificially creating a moment of
joyful recollection that gives the impression of a situation of friendship, harmony and love.
This situation (often prepared with the help of targeted fasting, followed by the recruitment of sweets and
wine) creates an atmosphere that would be concrete proof that it is of a privileged group
from God It is, instead, of a technique of 'hooking' to engage and retain the neophyte.
(Remarks by Prof. Mastronardi, owner of Psychopathology at the University 'La Sapienza')
Who attends the CN, over the years, is aware of the persuasive power of the leaders and how
between them, the concept of family is very different from the classic Christian. In Motion
is made one big family of 40/50 people who are guided by a householder: the
Catechist. The planning torque disappears. In its place was replaced by that which is inspired
directly by the founder, Kiko Arguello!
Even those who are striving to preserve their independent judgment, he realizes that the leaders
totally monopolize the private life of individuals through the commitments of group
(More frequent), with the natural increase of friendships between members of the group and with
psychological control exercised through the 'Confessions public', the 'resonance' and so-called
"Turn of experience." In these three moments is forced to tell (even in the most intimate details)
all the secrets of life and the sins committed in the past.
These intimate secrets must be externalised in front of the whole Community to become so, as
a sword of Damocles that will prevent them for ever, to leave the group.
The Heads of the Community and especially the Catechist responsible for all of the Parish Community,
want to know, even in the most gory details, the details of the problems
individual, in order to have 'in hand' the psyche of the victim, replacing, in fact, to
confessor or spiritual father. All of this happens without there being an obligation of secrecy
confessional, because they are not priests, but the laity. Convince people that their
organization is perfect and inspired directly by God therefore who were allowed even
slightest criticism of their methods, is considered a 'devil' or a 'Pharaoh' and when
someone (even priest or bishop) moves objections to the organization, each member
must treat it as a personal enemy.
Since the early meetings, herald mysterious dangers, warning that: must guard against
anyone who wants to tell them something other than the 'Managers' teach, that in the same
Catholic Church there are many who "hate" because they are "real" and authentic discoverers of
Christianity of the first centuries, that many in the future will feel the desire to leave the
experience, but "nobody will have the convenience to do so," because "out of the Way can not be
that destruction and unhappiness. "
Some take my courage in both hands and run away from this experience, but very often
"Repent of having repented" because they no longer have the ability to live an independent life.
Taking advantage of the real difficulties that nowadays occur in the make and keep
friendships, forcing newcomers dating only each other and get involved in more and more meetings
numerous, so that for years have not true friendships other external. They believe that this
Experience is the only thing in the world that matters, and gradually induce their followers not to
try more interest in culture, art, sports, politics, etc.. Everything becomes
secondary!
From the beginning, the "responsible leaders" creep into neophytes suspect that the Catholics who go to
'Messe normal' Christians are second-class, and clearly state calling them "Christians
Sunday. "
Invite you to get rid of suffering, to convince you that even the most expensive, if you can not
drag them into the community, losing IS BETTER!
Choosing marriage, priestly or religious forced!
Obligation singular (how unfair) is to require all or double solution (controlled by
Movement) or the consecration by the priest or religious tax Catechists and ultimately
by Kiko Arguello (bachelor) and Carmen Hernandez (ex-nun, maiden name)!
Over the years, the adepts become a fixed set, granite. You get to impose an obligation
to marry in the group ('endogamy'), saying explicitly: "married the daughters of Israel."
Who gets engaged to a girl or a boy outside, not left in peace until they
force the other / a to enter the Way. If they can not aim will be forced to
choose between abandoning the 'paradise Neocatechumenal' or abandon their 'love'. That
involves psychological agony, because in the meantime will have convinced the adept'' 'only
with NC there can be no true Christianity!
Same goes for those who are married. I thought that, given the sanctity and indissolubility of
marriage, the spouse would have recommended doubtful of always choosing the rescue
marriage, before any dilemma. But no! One of the most powerful leaders in the NC, the lawyer.
Franco Voltaggio, after promising to several bishops to save a marriage would
willingly sent home by their spouses too "excited", then gave
clear proof that what he said was false. In fact, when one of the spouses has been made
fanatically slave of their organization (which happens more often than not
believe), go so far as to make them live a separate life (divorce of fact) if the other spouse does not
appreciates the "Community".
This has happened to me too.
On 27 April 1992, at 17, in the Church of San Leonardo Murialdo (former St. Titus) via Pincherle
(Off Via Marconi, area South of Rome), the then parish priest Fr Domenico Paiusco, ordered me to
live the rest of my days away from my home, my children and my wife, because my
opposition organization Neocatechumenal I had made against the Catholic Church.
The decision was taken by the 'maximum catechists' of the diocese of Rome and was irrevocable. Feces
that my (and his) Bishop had asked him to do the opposite. But he said
only to obey his conscience (but actually obeyed the leaders NC).
No one then had the courage to oppose this decision, neither my wife nor my children, nor Bishop
Riva, who was then Bishop of our industry.
I tried to keep my independence of judgment, but I realized that the members of the
My family (first unit), with time have been involved in many commitments according to the
various 'Community'.
Returning in the evening, tired from work, I realized that they were all out: who for the 'Liturgy of the
Word ', for those who prepare the meetings, those who prepare the songs. I was having dinner just like a dog and
constatavo as they really destroyed our family community.
They boast of being a Catholic, but when there is conflict between the attend their meetings or some
sacrament, they are always prevail superiority of participation in their meetings!
Manco argues, then, when the alternative is to study commitments, commitments or social, artistic,
sports, love, politics or "hated culture"!
According to the Catechists all these commitments are 'idols'!
Moments of the life faced with dull fanaticism!
On the occasion of the death of my mother (on 1 October 1992) I asked my unnecessarily
Neocatechumenal wife to pray with me. His answer was: "I pray not only with my
brothers of the community, which are my only true family in Christ. "
Fanaticism leads them to say and really believe that this organization is a direct offshoot of
Christ.
One day I pointed out that the first of my children would not listen to anything and reclamavo as
father, at least the right to be heard. I felt then answer: "Why, sometimes not
listen even catechists, as you claim you hear the father?. "This made me understand the evidence
real reversal of roles and the strength of the absolute power of catechists.
The newlyweds are pushed (with the excuse openness to life) to an excessive fertility and
irresponsible. Come to make new children for silly exhibitionism, rather than driven by
true love.
There are families of 8, 10, 12 children!
Despite the commitments that take up the whole day and there is a total manipulation of
minds, but there is always someone who can maintain their freedom of thought and to use
his head.
But when they are allowed to raise any questions or to make any criticism or do
even the proposals, it is immediately accused of "slander." The charge is considered a
tremendous guilt and will be discussed in the "circle of experience." The poor brother will accusarsene
publicly before the Community. The victim will be terrified by the threat of not being able to
overcome the 'Poll' next.
This destroys the intelligence, self-esteem and critical sense of the person.
In many years of Way you are talking almost always and only with the same group of
people and to make choices fundamentalist. When they tell you you're wrong, immediately, without having the
time to analyze your thoughts or to examine the reasons that have generated, you convince yourself of
wrong.
Who has not lived this experience, they may not realize that this fanaticism Movement
not infuse the soul of followers, creating many 'fundamentalists' pseudo Catholics, similar to
deprecated 'Islamic fundamentalists'. The methods are different, but the results are very similar discredit
religion, danger to civil society, ruin of individuals that mature determination
irrational, fanatical mental rigidity and stubbornness. That fanatically Afghan fundamentalists running
directives of Bin Laden are the same people who for years, as children, were trained in the fields
Pakistani refugees in the light of the Quran alone, without any education on culture and
secular dimension of life.
I remember with horror the Pasque lived in those years, preceded by two days of fasting
rigorous, mandatory and absolute, all imbued with fanaticism, culminating with a whole night
songs, totally insulated from the parish community should be the Community of all.
At six in the morning there was a 'agape' (a room) with abundant food and wine in abundance.
Some came to get drunk, others to heave the stomach filled
suddenly with huge amounts of food. Then he slept through the day of Easter, without the
opportunity to spend even half an hour with family and friends not NC! The other was made
believe that on that night touched the most sublime peaks of asceticism!
The fanatical fundamentalism has been decisively rejected by Jesus who said: "Give to God what is
God and to Caesar what is Caesar's. "
Among the many teachings proclaimed so incessant, the most repeated was: "Only God should
be truly loved (where 'God' was understood their movement). "If your spouse is you
hindrance, odialo!
Do the same with anyone else who wants to separate you from us, children, siblings and parents included. "Many
couples had marriage ruined forever by this strange organization, very
similar to a 'sect'!
The emotional and psychological intimacy, and the design should be the cornerstones on which to base
any relationship. For decades, however, this was experienced and dealt with by strangers
the same pair!
Everyone can imagine the destructive effects are implied in such a situation. Most
Most couples are ruined. Those who become aware of reality emerging from this
catastrophic experience, but having reached the conclusion that the CN was the true expression of the
Christianity, many lose faith forever, and of them, the Church loses track.
Catechists NC say that the members are millions! But no one has ever calculated the
exiles are ten times as much! Or how much suffering you bring him or if they have preserved
faith!
Absolute lack of identification in the Church
They do not want to be called 'Movement', to believe that true Christians are only those that
are in the Way. They say, "We are the people of truth, we are not an organization." Since
beginning prohibit that refer to any type of organization. I'm not a
Association, not a congregation, not a movement, not a club, not
a community based, not a religious order! Their strategy is to not luciferin
appear! Want to take over the Catholic Church but in a subtle and hidden.
According to the technique of brainwashing, neologisms and jargon of the NC members to bring
accept new ideas, even without any guarantee of reliability! The particular language creates
sense of belonging to an elite group of successful, dependence and blind obedience!
Investigating the structure it turns out that, while they want to give everyone the impression of being
innocuous groups and spontaneous, guided only by the Spirit of God, are organized as' Church
in the Church '!
They have the 'responsible' for each Community, the heads of those responsible for the whole of the Community
parishes where there are: the 'catechists' (which count a lot more of the pastor!) Heads
sector (which are more of Bishops!) regional and national structures that secretly
overlap with the structures of the Church's official!
Lately I've found that the CN (without anything transpire outside the ecclesiastical circles)
are opposed by various clergymen.
The Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan, Silvano Piovanelli of Florence, Giovanni Saldarini of
Turin, Salvatore Pappalardo, of Palermo, the Bishops of Brescia, Bruno Foresti, Ivrea, Bishop
Bettazzi and those of Novara in Trieste, Foligno, Perugia and many others, have highlighted the serious
danger of this organization.
In 1988, Bishop Cesare Pagani, bishop of Perugia, died of a heart attack after a heated argument
had with the leaders of this movement. They then reflect on their own rather than fanaticism, dared
speaking of divine punishment!
In January 1996, in England, in Clifton, Catholic Bishop Mervyn Alexander, has started
survey on the Way NC and when one is finished, has banned NC to recruit new members
the diocese!
The Assistant National "Catholic Action", Archbishop Agostino Superb, Bishop of Puglia,
along with 19 other bishops of the region (all agree, no exceptions), in December 1996
addressed to the priests of a pastoral region in which it is claimed that the CN "offers
risk communion in the Catholic Church "(" Jesus ", February 1997, p. 36).
In Vicenza have created many problems!
I learned that in Scandicci, near Florence, for a time the parish was split because
of NC.
Why should we still attend to other small painful schisms?
One of the reasons why this organization is suspected by some part of the Church lies in the
that the NC completely betray all openings conciliar social, all attempts
of reality in this world "theology of justice," all the Church's interest for the poor and
marginalized, all the conditions of democratization in the Church! Betray the same
Second Vatican Ecumenical Council.
On the other hand, for those who care about the conservation of the correct doctrine (which allowed
the Church to remain integral along the two thousand years of history) do not escape the serious heresies of
teachings, which are written in the Catechism NC and are kept strictly secret even
to the followers without specific charges!
Only the first volume (Orientations for the Teams of Catechists for the conversion phase) consists of
well 373 pages. Managers, however, have always denied the existence!
Many claim expressed in these Guidelines are of Lutheran
· Faith makes us completely undo the sins! The works do not count!
· The free interpretation of Scripture is the foundation of all morality!
· True priesthood is "all the faithful."
· The priest must only "chair"!
· Sacrifices, fasts, vows, and pilgrimages are all useless!
· The S. Rosario is discredited and marginalized!
· The Eucharistic Sacrifice is denied;
· Transubstantiation is reduced to the symbol!
· The Ministerial Priesthood is deleted!
All this is Lutheranism, not Catholicism!
· "Man can not do good because it is separated from God, because he sinned and was
radically impotent and incapable, at the mercy of the demons. It 'was a slave of the devil. The
Evil One is to his Lord. "
This is Jansenism, not Catholicism!
It mocks the practice of keeping the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle. For them, the presence of the body of
Christ in the bread and wine consecrated ceases by the end of the celebration.
According to my modest personal memories, the first sounded the alarm about the dangers of NC was
Father Virginio Rotondi, who seguitissimi articles in the newspaper "The Time" denounced that the
'Chosen people' persists in not wanting to recognize that God speaks to us not only through the Holy
Scripture, but also through the teachings of the Church. "And again:" The Scriptures do not have to
be shrouded in an aura of "magic"!
Other priests, then, they realized the danger of NC. I remember the first great and learned
theologian Passionist Father Enrico Zoffoli, who wrote entire books of testimonies and other study
theological accurate. His studies were continued by Don Gino Conti, brilliant polemicist and
courageous pastor Pescara Don Elio Marighetto.
Techniques and fields of influence
The "catechists" NC continually repeat the same concepts in a pounding and obsessive,
obtaining a personality transformation that comes to a real washing of
brain. Everything becomes normal and consequential damages, such as the payment of the 'tenth' revenue
family (which everyone, including the poorest, must pay) and provide their goods
equity and real estate (basically a bribe of 10%).
Clergy, seminaries and centers of power
The clergy who keeps them at a distance is labeled and insulted with the epithets of 'Pharaoh' (against which the
God's people must fight), 'Devil', 'Judas'. While pastors and Bishops who receive them
are rewarded financially. The 'monthly deals' (fixed salary and on time) are given in
the number of 'Community' acting in the parish or diocese. The clergy
psychologically conditioned! How could, in fact, give up these handsome salaries? That
explains the economic conditioning that sometimes dulls the will of the priests who have
welcomed, and also explains the proliferation of seminars of NC (over forty) that create priests,
that Catholics are very little.
They obey the leaders of the movement rather than to the Bishops!
With a strategy very similar to that carried out by Freemasonry, have made the occupation of
all focal points and decision-making tools of mass communication, in order to
speed up the expansion and development of their organization. They've got some friends
psychologists (including the national president), many journalists, like Dr. Roberto Piermarini Radio
Vatican, directors of public and private radio and some Vaticanists editorial offices of newspapers and
weekly, some banks (such as the Banco di Roma, etc.).
Family
From the very first meeting is called to the followers that marriage, family, work, children, the
assets, are "idols" that are hated. Kiko does tell his catechists that "the family is a myth
terrible when it becomes religion. Christianity must destroy it. "We must therefore take the
first place the "Community"! If the wife is in love with her husband, or the husband of the wife,
say that there has been an idol! ... must hate him!
In the "votes" s'insiste that the bond between parent and child is broken and that the children are
available to the Community ('sons of the Community'). They say, "The children are idols" and suffer seeing
human love and neurotic parents! (Kiko is convinced that the parents are all "neurotic"
because they did not want their children!). I have personally witnessed that the figure of the father is
Violated and canceled. Parents should make a public confession before the children which, therefore,
are aware of a particular gory and ashamed of their inner life, with the result of
destruction of the parental figure.
The boys, fully involved in the CN, are deprived of any interest youthful friendships external
fun, freedom, contemporary culture, opportunities to think and choose for ourselves! The
political, social, charitable and even those are, for them, a waste of time. Twenty years
of 'The Way' create Christians in series. The changes take place at specific times, set by
catechists (before or after). The action of grace does not exist! Faith comes only at the end of
Way, with the renewal of baptismal vows. And 'the cult that sets dates for when they
be the "profound changes".
Secret rites and mysteries
With arcane rituals and secret knowledge, the CN recalls ancient cunning 'Gnosticism' and the current
"Freemasonry". It 'sa cheap mysticism that has the encounter with the Movement as the fact
more important after the coming of Christ!
Among the most vivid and disturbing number of years spent in the community, I remember that had
always lived life before meeting the CN in a negative way, empty, hopeless, inconclusive;
and the meeting with the NC as the lighting solution of all problems! Who did not conform to this
collective vision and mandatory, was pitied as one who had not yet met the
Christ! Those who, renouncing their own personality, their own desires and their own ideas
subdued authority of the Catechist, received more and more responsibility!
Anticipating that someone could open their eyes and could withstand the 'brainwashing',
allertavano the followers saying: "If your father, your mother, your husband, will doubt the
goodness and holiness of the CN, it means that it is the devil speaking to them, do not listen. "
The way we talk, the linguistic terms, the movements of the body and arms, eyes ... everything, in
short time, it is approved and begins a state of perpetual lack of communication with the outside world. The
young people compete to dress or let his beard grow as Kiko, their guru.
According within the Community do not you realize the secret plans with which orchestrate all
(Even emotions) that what is outside the Community, gradually loses its value and interest!
The liturgies night (long and tiring), sapping the body and the mind and weaken to the point
that everything that is imposed by the managers is blindly accepted by all!
The numbness of the mind is part of the indoctrination process.
The adept is dazed and drunk to the point of not being able to give meaning to their lives, if not
the Neocatechumenal Way.
The "leaders" try to do all the same feelings, as if to demonstrate the presence
strong the Spirit of God! It follows a belief such that when one is found in other
environments, it feels so vulnerable to depression because the risk is now so closely linked to the brothers
can not do without them: only they are his family!
The secret is something obsessive. No one should ask questions about what will follow: you can not
reveal the details of the 'Way' to strangers and even to members of a lower level should not
nothing away about what happens inside! The Heads repeated often inspired look that only
"Steps" are likely to have access to a greater proximity to the wonders of God:
the important thing is to trust the "Way," of them, and thank for not being "Christians
Sunday "!
They take you to live life only within the precincts of the Community, as if the whole world is infected.
External interests, culture, education, politics, art, philosophy, even the priests and Bishops
NC does not, and can defile you away from that (without you n'accorga) has become
Your prison. Since the First Ballot remind you that you put your signature on the 'Book of Life'
(The Bible of the Community) and then you can not "betray" ... "Jesus passed this time for you ...
may not spend more! ... Jesus is acting through the Catechists. "With these and other expressions
similar can also affect the minds open and free.
A prime example is the similarity between the ritual of the signature on the Bible of the Community, with the commitments
solemn that you require to the followers of Freemasonry or the Mafia!
To lock the joints trying to frighten the members, playing on their fear of being "rejected
the Community. "Fear, guilt and addiction are enormous: a real
psychological terrorism.
A serious international organization, who has studied religious sects in the world (FAIR) has
observed: "Cults use sophisticated techniques that cause the destruction of'' I ', modification
of thought and psychological dependence. The seven may maintain the members in a state of
high suggestibility through lack of sleep, fasting or special powers,
spiritual exercises, the constant indoctrination and group experiences subsidiaries ".
The heads of the CN come to have full control of all with handling staff
exercised by controlling the environment, creating a rarefied atmosphere; exploiting the confessions
public and the exchange of experiences and supervised the use of jargon unique, until you get to
also affect their future desires.
It 'well known, in fact, that by restricting the vocabulary used, are reduced to the same extent the
ability to think and feel. Transform the image that everyone has of himself
through the review of all the events previously experienced. 'Before' life was ugly,
"After" the meeting with the NC, life will become brighter because there will always be someone who will say what
to do!
Tricks and blackmail
Suggestive techniques are used to form many, in pairs, will go from house to house
in search of people, to bring it to the first catechesis. They come with safety, reciting a
speech memorized, forcibly load of enthusiasm, in an altered voice, secure and
, swapping in spots.
The 'Confessions public' are used to cement together the members of a community and
control them from within.
In 'Living Together' three / four days that are in the "week-end" members of the Communities
are controlled with the 'Tour' experiences and subjected to psychological pressure. On the occasion, then,
of the various steps that must pass will be subject to the 'Ballots' that reveal how
terrible tests, in which the Chiefs (who are lay people) inquisiscono the poor 'brothers' flaunting
authority to establish the degree of growth in the faith of each of them. It comes, in practice, to
confess to a layman! The priest, reduced to the role of the priest who acts only as appearance, is
only to give the illusion that what they do is wanted and allowed by the Church.
Sometimes used psychological tricks, such as total darkness' (the so-called 'Skylight') together with
long silences, they get an overwhelming impact on the poor stressed minds. All these
things have been prepared and meticulously prepared by Kiko Arguello in the secret book:
"Guidelines for the teams of catechists for the conversion phase." In that book Kiko presents
detail the rituals specially designed to create the maximum psychological impact in order to
dramatize every situation.
Destruction of personality '
One of the objectives pursued by the Heads more NC is the destruction of the personality
individual. They repeat with insistence: "You must die to yourself, destroy yourself." The poor
'Brother' you just have to grab the movement and life of his triumphs, his struggles, his
collections of money. Friends of the Way become his friends, critics or opponents of
Way become his enemies! Everyone loses its independence and its way of thinking:
nothing is more valuable than that which proposes the Way.
Teach us not to react to wrongs that are done to ensure the compliance of States and the
dependence on Heads! Lead to hate everything that can be the object of emotional attachment
or love (spouse, hobbies, career, clock, books ...), why present them as 'idols',
as if they were competing with the Community.
Catechists increase the need of obedience, complete and irrational to the extent that
decreases the critical sense of the members, even saying that "Catechists have Charisma and
may demand blind obedience "!
Individual resources, encourage the Catholic Associations (Scout, Caritas, Catholic Action,
S. Vincent, etc..), Are repressed between the CN.
Since further catechesis give the task of bringing family and friends, bombarding them with
expressions borrowed from the Jehovah's Witnesses: "Get to know our friends, come and see! Then
understand! No one can understand it, if you do not live. "They repeat all:" You can not judge ", preventing
anyone to make even the slightest objection. They shouted in his face to the Bishops
that you are allowed to object to something!
Any dialogue is almost impossible!
Those then who, having made this "wonderful experience" show critics are
presented as unreliable due to the fact that they did all the experience, or because they are a
extreme case, or have never met Christ. Any attempt at dialogue is killed
saying, "We will pray for you", as if to say: "You do not understand anything. We are always right." The
their 'leaders' should only preach, never give explanations!
For twenty years (or more) of the Way, the members are kept in a state of absolute submission, repeating
constantly the message of sin and corruption. In order to move forward, it is essential
magnify the conscience of the state of sin, thus destroying every personality! Grace does not
exist! The man can not sin, so do not feel responsible! Everyone must feel great
sinners, completely dependent on the Catechists who with the power given to them by the Holy Spirit
Announce Salvation!
Some concepts are repeated constantly: "If you are not in THIS WORD, you are lost,
because outside of it there is only death. "" I completely rid of slavery in Egypt!
Start the walk with a community! Receive the Messiah coming to liberate you! Rely on him and
He will guide you! It happens that some leave the CN abandoning Moses (Kiko) and the Pharaoh attacks them
and destroys them. "
The little practicing Catholic or secular unprepared, can not tell what the Holy
Scripture says (referring to a well-defined historical context) from what the Catechists
would have you believe as referring to their movement. This serves to keep people
subjugated to them! Gradually lead to absurd accept expressions such as: "Catechists
have Charisma! Catechists speak in the name of God!
If you say no to a Catechist, say no to God. "
The Neocatechumenal (like all sectarian organizations) consider traitor leavers and
the point to who that is, as the quintessence of the Devil, by creating fear in others and
submission greater.
The very strong sense of identification with the group sets off powerful feelings of guilt in those who
want to move away, because they have taught them that those who leave the NC, let God! Moreover,
how you can leave those who know your deepest secrets? How could return
simple 'Sunday Christian'?
Often, even the few who manage to free themselves, remain with the desire to re-enter them in the Way
has made dependent and insecure, no longer able to live an independent life! And to think that support
to form Christians ADULTS! After much triumphalism among the NC, the life in a parish seems
less beautiful (even if it's true).
Catechists require long periods of fasting, accompanied by dark, Bible readings,
humiliating public confessions and incriminating, which, at the appropriate time are followed
festive meals (feasts) they do go the 'Brothers of the Community' over the moon and make them feel
deceptively close to God
Rarely the Catechists damage prohibitions explicit because they are not necessary, since
every individual and collective behavior is approved from the start. No one can afford
variations or exceptions.
Life in the CN is something totalizing every sacrament is prepared and celebrated in the Community, the
children receive the baptism in the Community, since children must attend the resonances in
ballots and the Eucharistic liturgy (even that of the Easter night), the child will receive
catechesis of young people make life choices guided by their catechists and through them, will be
blackmailed any recalcitrant spouse.
I have heard from some of their heads that in the coming decades, with the prolific and forced
irresponsible inculcate, could arrive to take possession of the Church, and some ...
dare ... also in the World!
In the course of the Way is made a depletion of personality, wrecked families,
destroyed the life of parishes and promanate heresies in quantity with several cycles of catechesis
last 2/3 years each: 'Ad', 'Shema', 'Prayer', 'Traditio symbol', 'Redditio
Symbol ',' Our Father ',' Election ',' Renewal of baptismal promises'!
Free time is completely absorbed by commitments to the community. This makes friendships grow
unique within the group and influence people permanently burning bridges with the outside world.
Community activities are so all-encompassing that completely take over the individual,
to turn it into a "fundamentalist" who no longer has the ability to communicate peacefully with
because strangers become unable to accept any compromise. Is repeated in their
continued: "This is definitely right! This is wrong." "Who said that? God!" (Who speaks
by means of the Catechist). And the mind used to move along the rails of religious fundamentalism,
becomes inflexible.
Any relationship or living with people outside the sect becomes impossible, because the CN does not
can no longer be considered to have a different behavior than what was
instilled within her community. To the extent that spend months and years, with ceremonies
collective triumphalist, the subject is convinced by the Catechists that his spirituality and his
Way of Faith are growing rapidly (when in fact he is growing fanaticism). Ably
influenced is convinced of continuous improvement, while in reality worsens eye.
The NC, not only regard the compromise as a blasphemy, but require obedience to
their heads is blind, resolute, complete and put into practice 'to the letter'. Who (deluded, as the
myself) have decided to create a situation of compromise that could make possible a
relationship with them had catastrophic results!
The followers are isolated and feel lonely, insecure, suspicious of all those who, not being
Movement, can not understand. Do not confide in anyone and is completely isolates. For
prevent any defection, the Catechists convince everyone that if they have any problems or concerns,
must expose them to priests or bishops because they do not understand.
I speak from personal experience: In March 1993, I had the opportunity to externalize my doubts to my children and
some ex-brother of Way, giving testimony, avallandola with the support of a good book
criticism of the Catholic Neocatechumenal Way and saying, "Think and ask the help of some
good priest who is not NC ".
Now the older son went by the Catechists who explicitly told him that I was the
The devil himself! These, though I had promised to read them, threw them after five minutes
of rubbish in the bin, to the satisfaction of the brothers of the Community.
In some cases, the desire to have children who are the mirror of catechists, makes it
conceive children (even physically with her husband) knowing and hoping that they are
educated and brought up by the catechist.
He becomes the true father in terms of psychological and educational. Takes a real
psychological treason against the spouse and the traditional family disappears: the family
no longer exists!
All blindly believe what they say the heads of supreme this sectarian movement that
prove to be so excited to be declared explicitly: "We have the Charisma! Kiko is
directly inspired by God. "To have a greater influence, are also used by psychologists.
Entire families are so swallowed up in the abyss in the most natural
world, as if attracted by a pied piper.
The mental rigidity is due to the acquisition of several concepts obliging, without which it can
discuss. The poor people who fall for it can not even imagine different solutions from those
which were prepared by the sect. The intellectual and cultural poverty, combined with the power corrupting
of money, do the rest.
And 'well known that the sects realize the' thought reform 'leading people in a
belief that change the conception of life and to believe that only those who belong to
cult knows the truth.
In public confessions and 'resonance' is psychologically compelled (to show
to be in line with the teachings of the sect) to say things that the leaders want them to be
said ... and with the same words that the leaders want them to be spoken!
Self-esteem is completely canceled to inculcate the idea that only the CN can give them benefits,
bringing it to a total dependence. In the first two years of pre-catechumenate affect them
with threats and promises of new astonishing revelations as, "Tonight will give the Church the Cross
Glorious ". Almost competing with each other, some report the misfortunes happened to those who are
removed from the "Way" or even thought of it!
Each community is convinced that he received from God the task of saving the Catholic Church that is
dying.
Everyone argues, then, that salvation can be found only amongst NC! Gradually, they begin to
Church to use the term as a synonym of all the NC Community! The Catholic does not
belonging to the movement, although practitioner, pitied and labeled as: 'bigot',
'Collotorto', 'pay'! The normal Christian is worthless!
Intimidated and subjected the poor shall not be able to get out of the 'Community' if only
because it establishes an indissoluble bond with that group of people who are aware of the
secrets and hidden fears, through the 'Confessions public'!
Irreversible damage
Permanent damage and irreversible report the children of parents 'Way'.
To understand what is happening, it is appropriate to recall the experience of laboratory known as the
'Bandage kitty'.
If for a while 'time, a kitten born, you put a patch over one eye, when the
is removed, that eye will be partially atrophied and no longer in a position to buy
normal eyesight, even with vigorous rehabilitations.
Children who are raised in a religious sect, they can not leave, nor are they able to take
responsibilities in areas that require independent initiative, imagination, culture, interfaith tolerance
or knowledge of contemporary thought, and so on.
When there is a continuous and vital relationship with the outside world, there is no replacement of lymph
intellectual. This facilitates the numbness of the brain even in the most intelligent people. If a
fly, in fact, rests on a painting, can never get a good look. To admire it fully
will have to "come out" and move away from the painting itself. This is what happens to those who enter into a sect can never
assess the environment that surrounds it in an objective way, as long as it does not return to its freedom of
judgment. Only then can comparing with others who are still outside his reality and
evaluate the right way the reality that is living. But to do that we need humility, honesty
thought and a good dose of courage!
Conquest of the parishes
Insensibly and subtly led to believe and to consider how their true family
NC community, adopting the terms 'brother' and 'sister' to recognize each member. Replace
the term priest to priest. Sparano strong words and incomprehensible to outsiders,
as "kerygma", "koinonia", "kenosis", "existential", "ontic", "Servant of Yahweh", "Cross
glorious "to make an impression on the simple people, almost always have to believe in God
pocket!
Take over the parish 'exclusively': with malicious gradually make the 'introductions'
the readings of the Mass, choose the songs, teach catechism to the communicants and confirmands;
prepare the Passover liturgy, ousting those who were against them and replacing each
other association. The pastor loses control of the situation.
In the rare cases in which the priest is able to remove them, you must expect a terrible reaction. Then
explode all their fanaticism. The poor man, meet great difficulties to replace them in a
peaceful and convenient; certainly can not replace the entry offer considerable monthly
(Having renounced that of CN) and even defend themselves from insults and slanders that they
put around. So it was a parish priest in the province of Rome, as he managed to get rid of
NC, immediately found himself alone, because of a shot, robbed him of almost all the faithful.
The weapon of money
Other strong conditioning is given by CASH.
Each adept must pay at least 10% of its income to the movement. This occurs after the
'Second pass'. This money, instead of going to the poor, is the so called 'itinerant catechists',
that going around Europe and the world to spread the movement, must not fail to
anything, from clothing to the car, from home to childcare. These itinerant catechists, are pushed
to resign from work for a living, and from that moment all my life, paid in full by
Sect, together with the whole family, without missing anything from them, in foreign countries, fully
expensed. As I have not thought of them and the luxury in which they live when, out of the house, I was
forced to sleep in the car! The money raked from this sect are something
gigantic and difficult to assess. They comprise 10% of all job gains
employee or professional income and pensions, donations, inheritance, and the offers made to demonstrate
to be detached from the money with renunciation of personal and family. The frequent collections
money are done with a black plastic bag (the bag for rubbish) which shall be
turn. Everyone puts in money or valuables.
The money is for the purchase and maintenance of luxury residences of seminars and to pay
salaries to those priests and the bishops who have shown good in facilitating the expansion of
Way. Of course, such salaries, although originating from a single national tariff, are given in
proportion of the number of 'Community' existing in the area, and they are called 'wages', but
'Offers'. The substance does not change.
More money is spent on public relations, and to get a good image in the world
Catholic. Only a small part is used in favor of brothers of community most in need, but it is
given as a result of great sacrifices and is a source of constant blackmail and debts of gratitude. In
practice: first impoverish families with a prolific irresponsible and then keep them connected
with the blackmail of money.
The money is good they care about the leaders of the Movement. In the near future could also be used to
affect the next Conclave, in competition with other movements sprung up in recent times
within the Church.
The river of money that enters continuously into the coffers of the Movement, is not given only by the
offers 'spontaneous', but also from the sale of thousands of objects of worship with the exclusive brand of
Kiko. I refer to lecterns, crosses, altar cloths for, carpets, vases, stoles, tunics, etc.. All
these objects are built in their own factory, signed by their guru, sold at prices
'Exclusive'. Even the final rite of baptism in the Jordan River is celebrated by wearing a
tunic expensive 'branded' with travel and accommodation organized by the sect.
"Since I came to miss the international funds" in May of this year (2001) Kiko
asked all the communities that had the 2nd Step, to pay urgent (even at the cost
to make a surety) the sum of ten million in order to complete the construction of the 'Domus
Galileae ', "the greatest work of its kind in Palestine." Years ago, the NC said that in Italy
there were over six thousand Community. If the figure is true, how many tens (or hundreds) of
billion will be collected with this call, and how they will actually use? Kiko has a certain
strong business sense and knows how to disguise them very well, suggesting its high spirituality. And the deluded,
full of enthusiasm for him, believe and pay.
Blackmail persecutory
I often say NC to undergo 'persecution', but when someone like me, the fruits complaint
disastrous Way, is insulted, mocked, pitied; stigmatized as 'Judas', 'traitor',
'Devil', 'Pharaoh'. The Community then rejoice when someone criticizes them, because they believe that
the criticism is 'persecution' they feel their 'holiness' and the rightness of their experience.
But the real persecutions suffered other. I was taken out of the family, children, love their grandchildren,
housing, etc..
I often hear stories from creepy: people stuck in their career or work, by
upper and managers who are catechists NC; professors damaged at school; Bishops transferred;
pastors hunted and many other situations.
Why did the bishops not to intervene in such a serious question?
I try to suggest some answers.
Some unquestioningly obey orders from above.
Others are impressed by the success and the warm participation of NC events organized by the
Pope
Some can no longer do without the monthly salaries of the sect.
All, however, will have to deal with their conscience and judgment of God
Why then the civil authorities do not intervene?
The only criminal law that could be called into question is the psychological plagiarism (art. 603
C. P.) which, unfortunately, in 1981, was declared unconstitutional because it does not clear. The Court
Constitutional recommended that provide himself as soon as possible to his reformulation. The request
of unconstitutionality was made by various religious sects Italian and foreign.
Why 20 years his reformulation is firm to the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the
Camera? I do not know what to say. I remember, however, that several lawyers NC they laughed at
face, saying: "You can not do anything about it, because in Italy the plagiarism does not exist anymore."
Psychological manipulation
The Neocatechumenal Movement is a group of Christian sectarianism. Like all sects, use a
attitude of intolerance combined with an aggressive proselytism. Imposes its own particular way
of thinking, feeling, acting, as the Church asks the man a consensus personal conviction and
responsible. The "constraint" is latent and not easily recognizable.
The Catholic Church in the Pastoral Note of the CEI of May 30, 1993, prepared by the Secretariat for
Ecumenism and dialogue, refers to the "brainwashing" in these terms: "A good reason is
can be seen that the sects and new religious movements normally appear closed to dialogue
prosthesis as they are to this Ad by means of propaganda who use psychological pressure
They tend to take the other party in order to achieve total and uncritical adherence, to
produce, in some cases, the plagiarism of personality. "And again:" It sometimes happens that initiates a
sect are bound by forms of coercion and supervision, until you get to real
limitations on personal freedom. In these cases there is located opposite to a successful imposed and
protected. "
In this document, therefore, explicit reference is made to the fact that in some groups are present
psychological pressure systems that do not respect the people.
In the Neocatechumenal Way there are choices that seem free, but in reality it
are. This also happens at the end of "coexistence" which concludes the cycle of fifteen
catechesis which introduce participants to the pre-catechumenate. Those who agree to start the CN,
since that time, without realizing it, in fact leave the Catholic Church to join a new
cult, whose doctrine and practice are in contrast to the former faith, while remaining convinced
to be orthodoxy, which is the guarantor of the passive figure of the priest-presbyter.
Who joins the Community NC, ignores the mechanism that, slowly but surely,
will lead him to be converted, and methods of formation which will be subjected to reach a
Total dogmatic and uncritical adherence to the principles of faith and religious ideology that proposed by the NC
will lead to a total plagiarism of his personality.
Some elements give the Movement NC, the taste of a cult. They are: the stratification
hierarchical rituals of access and 'pass', the ongoing verification of orthodoxy; commitment
totalizing; proselytizing.
Membership in the group is so exclusive that it is incompatible with participation in each
other expression of social life. The process of indoctrination is not practiced in the Movement
compatible with the Catholic faith and uses of psychological pressure that makes use of sophisticated
mechanisms that do not respect the person, who, unconscious and unaware of what is
going on, passively accepts everything.
The consequences of this conditioning in humans are deleterious and are retained even
when the catechumen left the group, marking an irreversible mental health
the weakest.
The term "brainwashing" was introduced in the early 50's by Edward Hunter
Jr., journalist correspondent in Hong Kong for a Miami newspaper, to translate a term
Chinese (brain-washing) which means "cleansing of the mind." It was a system of persuasion,
used to clear the mind of the Chinese from the old beliefs and "convert" to the ideals and
communist programs.
There were three phases of the process "thaw", with which questioned all their principles,
to the point to want to leave, "modification", which took place when the prisoner
beginning to glimpse the positives in the communist ideology and put on the heels of others
had accepted it, "refreezing", which was to convince them of the goodness of the new ideas
so that they were finally accepted. Then, to make them feel safer put them in
condition to prepare their defense, in case they were attacked. Thus prepared, hardly
could be swayed by others who had questioned the new position
in which they had lying.
Same technique is used by the NC movement in his recruitment. The fifteen catechesis
Introductory, in which is proclaimed the Kerygma, correspond to the phase of the Chinese
"Defrosting".
In the phase of the "thaw" it tends to destroy the certainties that members have,
especially if they are practicing Catholics. It is said that "The Church, sacrament of salvation, today in
parishes do not see anywhere, rather they are the offices, where people go to church, to
baptism, but they are not a sacrament of salvation "(1 SCR p. 31). And again:" Of those we
call Christians are a stumbling block to those who are no longer in the church "(1 SCR p. 62).
They ridiculed the spirituality recommended by the Magisterium: "Careful with certain concepts of God
Good that is all mercy ... type the Sacred Heart, with his hand and his face so retouched,
all sugar and honey, and all soavino tenerino ... "(OR, p..)" The Catholic Church is full of
paganism and idolatry "(PR p. 34)." ... in Rome with cardinals, the Curia ..., everyone goes about his business, there
there is no pastoral true: in Rome has never been a pastoral. It is the worst land in the world "(PR p. 183).
"We want to form a community which is in the parish sign. This community in the long run
changes the pastoral and the structure of the parish "(OR p ...).
These messages are well received by the weak of faith and disappointed by the Catholic Church
begin to believe that the true Church is the Community. Kiko says: "The CN is the church
itself, which is something very different from the group of the ladies of St. Vincent, by a group
of Catholic Action ... is a path which the Church because if you find that Catholic Action
does not bear fruit, and do not know where to go, you can in this way meet the faith "(1 SCR p.
55). "Do you think you will be scrutinized when you are in front of Jesus Christ, even though I am a fool,
a rogue, an idiot, when you're sitting talking to me, at that time you'll be talking to
Jesus Christ, we do a service in his name and God inspires us "(2 SCR p. 90).
At the stage of "modification" members begin to see the positive aspects of life
Community: interest and attention to those who show that they have a problem that plagues; climate
friendly and festive welcome, "cohabitation" with monthly intervals, which are met with
enthusiasm by members, as an escape from the "routine" daily. The Community is seen as something
good and accepted and appropriated. He begins to be a part of, a starting point of the spiral
that some scholars have identified and linked to the process of affiliation to sects. The individual
depart more and more from its background (family ties, social ties, vital values). A hand
as you participate in the Movement descends coil in turn, losing sight of each other
reference, just seeing the reality proposed by the group.
Third stage of the process: "refreezing."
At first, the choice to enter into the movement could somehow be free and conscious, but
when one is in, is dragged into a vortex from which it will not be able to dissolve and the
community will become the most important thing in his life.
Kiko says: "When you came into the community, even for you you were polytheists and the truth and the
life was work, family, the affirmation of yourself, your children, your company, the machine and between all
these things you were also the Community. At this point the Way, after four years, things
I'm a little 'different, and now, because you are convinced that these things do not give you all happiness, now
Lord can say, "Hear, O Israel, I am the friend, the others are not" (SH p. 72). "There is a lot
people that bother to go to the community, but they can not leave because the Word has opened
the truth of the world and now they can no longer sell because ... where would they go? If the salt loses
its flavor is useless now nothing but to be trodden under foot of men. Become a
unfortunate man, nor serve them because at least if I were like those who have not
known the catechumenate and do not know anything, then you alieneresti with TV or socio diventeresti
of Rome and you'll would go with the great illusion to see her play every Sunday. BUT YOU ARE
BEEN MARKED A FIRE AND THIS IS NOT YOU THE CAN 'TAKE NO "(SH p.
103).
With these words Kiko nails forever the Way adepts and has no qualms to launch
curses on those who, waking from the spell, in a moment of lucidity, they wanted
back: "... My brother, you can go back: but be careful! Beware brothers, because God
sent catechists concrete, who have said that they saw Jesus Christ. IF YOU GO
VIA THE BLOOD OF JESUS 'CHRIST FOR OUR LIABILITY WITNESS' ON
YOU. "(PR p. 412).
If the adept shows some signs of hesitation catechists the "hold" reminding him that he
put his signature on the Book of Life, that is a copy of the Bible in the Community, in the ceremony
known as the First Ballot. Then he was told that he was free not to sign and stop the
"The Way" sign meant salvation assured, do not sign lose her forever. "Now,
putting your name say your yes to the choice that God has done for you
eternity. Be glad for one thing: your names are written in heaven "(1 SCR p. 143).
The group becomes the prison in which all feel the catechists are free, but in reality
morally "chained". In this climate of psychological terrorism, held the "Ballots"
conducted by ordinary lay people, that replace the priest and are built to confessors of the brothers,
who claim to know the most intimate things in their lives, which in this way becomes heritage
of the whole community. Under the effect of "brainwashing" the catechumens are forced to donate
their assets. "Man looks in real life. For this community you sell the property. This is not
tell people why it should all be running "(OR, p. 50)." ... If the town is rumored that
to enter this community you have to sell the property, no longer in the catechesis "(2nd SCR, p.
97). In many partnerships the people rebel and does not intend to sell their goods and thinks he has to do
a elemosinuccia ... do not understand "(SH p. 96).
At the stage that the NC called "Second Ballot" Kiko come to ask catechists to peer
people according to these criteria:
if they changed mentality;
if you have tried with the goods;
if they did the Way.
It can be concluded that the problem is not in the Movement NC only content (definitely
incompatible with the Catholic faith), but also in the methods and techniques of indoctrination,
tending to the annihilation of personality and plagiarism people psychologically weak.
Final Appeal
How much longer do we have to wait, we, the victims of the wiles of the Movement
Neo-before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has decided to issue a
document that can stop Kiko, Carmen and their catechists who continue to spread their
false doctrine, domineering parishes, with the passive presence of 'priests' who
'Guarantee' the orthodoxy of their catechesis even if they feel heavy accusations against the Church
Catholic?
As long as you allow with your silence that continue to destroy families and parishes?
Why let the NC say that the Holy Father approves and blesses them when you know that
falsehood? And if the Pope knows what all they found, because let compromise
with dogmatic errors scattered in the "catechesis" of Kiko and Carmen, clear taste of heresy,
filoprotestanti, taught by lay persons deprived of an adequate theological training, in hours, even at night
and in an atmosphere of secrecy, with a psychological technique of indoctrination tends to
humiliate people by lowering self-esteem in order to make them more malleable and receptive to ideas
Movement?
And what of the serious spiritual and psychological consequences that many have to suffer, as the
loss of identity, insecurity and depressive that sometimes lead to suicide?
Those who would give up the Way can not. As one enters the group is
overwhelmed by the commitments and compromises and, therefore, suffers, is silent and obeys blindly
Catechists with curses and threats frighten those who show signs of hesitation. What
came out asking for help to the Church denouncing abuse but are considered lepers and
nobody listens to them.
With your reluctance, you discredited the figure of the Pope and you become responsible for
many sins of people who, disappointed by your attitude, they lose faith.
After more than thirty years he has known the doctrine of Kiko. The secret has been revealed thanks to
zealous churchmen who you know well and whose books were put in the same
your hands. The time is ripe. What is silence, cover and wait? It is perhaps the scandal
you want to avoid? We have to deal with God before the men of this land. Before
His judgment seat we must all appear: Pope, Bishops and Cardinals included.
It would be enough, without creating a scandal, that all bishops forbid: Catechesis of Kiko and Carmen
parishes behind closed doors with their pseudo-catechism: the Gospel must be "shouted from the rooftops", the
Catechism of the Church gave to the faithful is one!
The Eucharistic celebration on Saturday night: you know that the NC celebrate several Masses
simultaneously, one for each group.
This is against the rules that you have issued. In the pastoral note of the CEI, July 15, 1984, "The Day
the Lord, "urged" not to multiply more than just the number of Sunday Masses, and here and
there, even the festive masses on Saturday evening, "because this practice of" made contemporary, is
serious injury to the pastoral care and the risk of compromising the truth of the celebration
festive "?
Carry out their pastoral program: by forcing them to follow the pastoral program
diocesan or parish.
It 's time you will give us clear answers!
We are tired of waiting. Hurry up to take action before it is too late. We do not want
thinking of having been betrayed by our Pastors. SHAME WHAT IF betrayed CHRIST FOR
FOSTER KIKO!

00153 - R O M A OSTIENSE
LETTER OF A YOUNG FATHER EX catechumen
Hello to all of you readers of this site and all of you who are interested to understand what drives people
to take part in a diligent, confident and active, to the point to devote to this activity
Religious almost all the time of their day, and much of their economy.
How many of you have participated in this experience with the Neocatechumenal Way
My stay with them was about eight years old coming along with my small
community called to the stage of the second pass Currently my former community is starting
to the initiation of prayer and I, along with my wife and many other exiles we are
moving towards the recovery of the freedom and the reorganization of our lives.
I enjoyed reading all the criticisms that have been leveled to the NC and I must say that I share
fully. I am not an expert on Catholic doctrine, but in an attempt to avviarmi to the diaconate
permanent I found myself studying, though not in detail, the theology developed by
Catholic Church (forgive me for the lower case). I noticed that you do well in the description of the CN, which
you dwell mainly doctrinal aspect, ie the aberrations that contain the catechesis
neocatecumemato of the founders of the discrepancy and that the contents have over orthodoxy
Catholic. This way you want to highlight in the enterprise, albeit with good reason, and the difference
contrasts that are in motion with respect to the NC Catholic doctrine, it is certainly legitimate and
shared by many experts and those who attend institutions of religion, while
remain unaware all those who are unable for any reason to come into contact with the
doctrine defined authentic Catholicism.
At this point a question is in order.
And 'it possible that teaching work undisturbed for thirty years, with the consent of
parish priests, the pope, and especially of bishops and cardinals, it should be considered seriously contrary to the
ordinary teachings? Are not their own, that is, the prelates, even if in a different way, to decide
what is the right way to go? The people of God have his masters in the bishops, who by
God discernment to decide the good of the whole Catholic Church and the salvation of man. Now
I would like to point out that the work of the bishops is final because it is God who gives them
the intelligence to operate. So why a priest feels the need of having to give advice and
note these discrepancies to the bishops? Perhaps the disciple knows more than the teacher? The bishops dear readers,
are the most specialized of all in theology, it is they who have always been established, the doctrine
of the church, so they know every foundation of this doctrine.
So why they are called to be attentive to what creates the NC path, as if it were
actually born by the will and wisdom of two poor people who suddenly discovered the
best way to convert sinners with their catechesis. It 'something quite well known in the church
nothing happens if a Catholic priest does not want to imagine a bishop. So I think I can
conclude my first observation whereas the NC path came to life and is
could spread through the territory Catholic, and most importantly, the availability offered to him by the pope,
first, after the bishops, and priests later. Therefore it would be appropriate to put an end to criticize
always the same people, such as Kiko and Carmen, which, in my view, have followed their instincts
survival, finding a great partnership in the Catholic world especially, again, in those
persons responsible to safeguard the authenticity of the teachings. E 'on the latter that we must
drop all the responsibility for what harm this movement has produced in decades.
I would now like to express the analysis that I did on the success that the way NC has received, and
still collecting from the persons who take part. I might add at once,
clarity of purpose, that this success is due to the discrepancy in the Catechesis but that there is
rather for the content that they provide to the auditor, as, indeed, does not depend on the mode of
as they are given to the catechumens within the movement, behind closed doors and night
based, but is mainly due to the great charm that the whole movement as a whole plays
the collective to be the true church of Jesus Christ. To endorse this belief
is acquiescence to the movement and silence deliberately operated by the Church hierarchy in all
these thirty years. The focal point of this success starts from the belief that this is
gradually taking share in the itineraries of the neophyte: to be the church that Jesus chose in this
time to save mankind from sin. The fact that the ordinary lay people, mostly Catholics
practitioners, they are one day alone, gathered together by a common feeling, without oppression
authority responsible to manage every part of their religious life, such as the liturgy of the
word and the Eucharist, where in the latter, even the celebrant occupies a marginal place, day
itself, is already a reason for many of novelty and encouragement to continue on a path that
would seem to be miraculous. How is it that out of nowhere, simple employees, workers,
unemployed, housewives succeed in such a short time to get over all a sort bureaucratic
and sit in the chair where impart lessons of theology? How is it that the common
mortals can suddenly speak publicly and without being contradicted by anyone,
an assembly and alert and eager to know Jesus, explaining in their own way and alternating
among them, expressing their thoughts on Christianity. Here we are again faced
at the beginning of the Christian era where abounded interpretations of the person of Jesus and where all
felt called to join the discussion.
Termination of this historical period with the Holy Inquisition, the path opens within the NC
Catholicism itself a breakthrough for those who, in this church, have always felt
like outsiders. Yes, because in the Catholic Church hegemony is the pastor. Lay hold a
role of subordination and are called to passive participation in Church life and liturgical
the church, contrary to what happens in the community Kiko.
The road sweeps NC in one shot every ecclesiastical hegemony eliminating altogether 2000
year history of the Catholic Church, eliminating all forms of subordination of the laity to priests. The
participants are reclaiming the authority to manage their own spiritual life, to interpret the Bible
as they think best, creating themselves, and only with each other, a new church, in their view, is
the real one, which has its own charism, which is headed by the most charismatic of all, blessed and
willed by God, as Jesus flourishing: Kiko, the myth of Act Two, to whom we owe obedience and
respect.
The catechists of the path must move consistent with the guidelines laid down by its
founder, but only with respect to the steps. For the rest, every catechist and each participant is made
free to decide according to the discernment that comes from God, in regard to the degree and ministry
that place, because the catechumens their service as catechists is comparable to that of its
bishops. The participants decide who should take the leading role (manager) of the
community, such as organize partnerships and retreats, participate in the pastoral parish be
placed on the parish council, correct the brothers who are in error; decide who should
access the service of extraordinary ministers, who must be inspired by the songs, the various liturgies;
elect or confirm the person in charge, that the second step in then exercise the functions
a deacon, scrutinize and decide the penance shall be given to candidates catechumens; evangelize
new communities, raise new funds for the spread of Catholicism. All this has on
catechist a strong grip, so the earliest proponents of kikismo they often are these new
disciples of the third millennium, the catechists who, armed with so much interest and so willingly,
live to make the journey never ceases to move forward, even at the cost of large
sacrifices.
On the other hand it is of their own lives, offer many years of service to themselves, in an attempt to
built up more and more in a religious context that sees them as leaders of leaders towards a goal
municipality that is to be the true follow Jesus
The only duty to be paid is the tenth month, nothing compared to the privileges they get
exercising these functions. Over time you can see how the community Kiko sfoltiscono increasingly,
until reaching to mergers between them, to restore vitality following the successful decimation.
Many of those who remain are those who have developed an active role in
community as leaders, catechists, porters, singers, extraordinary ministers, as well as those
that have become available to enter the seminaries and convents. And all the rest of the community?
- How many people were at the start, the participants in this experience? 60,80,100?
- How many are now on the threshold of the second pass? 10,12,15?
- How many will be after a year or two from the second step? 7.10?
- How much does an average person to stay in their community Kiko every year? One
has an estimate?
- What is the cost in terms of time and effort, stopping in communities Kiko, because
each may grow in this journey of faith toward God?
- It 'possible that God wanted to concentrate on himself, in an absolute manner, the focus of these
people. distracts from all the other activities of social life? God wants all of them may lead
to holiness, or the economic poverty? Otherwise, how would establish the 'Domus Galileae'
and seminars, and replenish as bishops and cardinals acquiescent, if there were no people
this type, such as cows to be milked and squeeze like lemons? Perhaps it is here that
should look for the key of interpretation to understand the mystery of so successful that the
Way NC still collecting. An immense wealth that goes around the world, and is offered at
all those clerics that open in their dioceses and parishes the door to the neo-catechumenate.
Now I wonder: is it possible that the educated and well-prepared, as there are so many to guide
Catholics, do leave undisturbed for over thirty years as ignorant and backward
Kiko and Carmen, with their retinue of catechists not inculturated to Catholic doctrine, never put
seriously their end to this escalation in the Catholic Church. The parishioner normal
every day, with all his good will, can not distinguish the difference between the
Church of Kiko and that of the bishops, especially since both occupy the same territory
parish: the benches where they sit belong to the same church, and people responsible,
as pastors, ministers are authorized by the church. How can a simple parishioner
notice the difference that exists between a catechesis of Kiko and one a monsignor
even if the pastors perceive it? Indeed, it is precisely these that testify to their presence
that there is no guarantee of ecclesiology, which many simple, good spirits, full of enthusiasm
let themselves be guided by the way, to suffer unvero plagiarism as happened also to the parish of ...
despite its preparation. In these cases, the question arises: the pastor knows and is conniving, or
ignorant of the doctrine of the Catholic Church? What makes money in all this?
Now the crux of the matter, than you ever touched even in thought, should be the
following. It 's true, as is clear from your testimony that adducete proof of your thesis
to refute the doctrine of the journey twenty NC, that in addition to being consistent with the principles
doctrine of the church attorney also quite a few suffering the psychological and economic
those who participate, as are wasting their time and wasting their money behind the
way? The damage that the church hierarchy with the complicity of Kiko leaves perpetrate against
naive and gullible listeners are refundable? I read on your site that among people who have
left the way someone NC, as a result of plagiarism right away, took his own life. It 's true? Not
would be the case that you turned on the judiciary, so as to help all the people who
unconsciously, and driven only by the desire to redeem their lives are to be in
these situations of psychological distress to the point of having to resort, in many cases, to care
specialists?
In conclusion I want to say that my experience with the NC path is considered
generally negative for the following reasons:
1. Because it promises to take you on the experience of adult faith, and this never happens. Indeed, with
Over time it becomes more and more doubtful towards the faith, understood as individual choice,
free and rational. Grows, however, the sense of belonging to the movement and psychological dependence by
NC path to refuse any form of socialization possible.
2. Because it takes too seriously the people who would have the right to live a life of their own,
free from external influences and less dedicated to the research of trivial things, like the illusion of being
true Christians, the pre-selected, the saints, those who wear the white robe of the conversion increased
through the tribulation that you live in the path.
3. Why after so much time spent opening and closing the Bible, read the Gospel, to
admonish, to catechize, you are more ignorant than before, about the doctrine of the church, and does not develop
even the slightest doctrinal culture that could also be useful in the development of a
service within the parish or the diocese because, in fact, we learn things confidential
only way to NC.
4. Because in the end you realize that you are a man just looking for something that, perhaps, to look like
things are there and in the Catholic Church, there can be in that environment. And so you are
forced to migrate in search of new spaces and new ideas, free from personal interests that
reduce man to a human larva, as it happens in the way NC, where everyone depends on everyone, and
the lie follows lie. Slyly from the beginning not show and do not explain that
What are the catechesis for adults, and who actually gives, in the name and on behalf
whom, and for what purpose. In all this there is' a quiet but constant complicity with the catechists and
with Kiko by priests, first, and then the bishops and cardinals. The purpose is
simply to defraud the parishioner advantage of his good faith and his
enthusiasm in living Christianity. This thing is repeated in the Catholic church, as in all
other churches, from time immemorial.
In conclusion we must exonerate Kiko and Carmen and all the catechists of the way because they are NC
authorized and in many cases even encouraged, if not by the bishops personally, certainly by
their collaborators such as parish priests. So much so that before you start a new evangelization of the team
meets in the parish catechists to evangelize to receive the formal investiture by
the person in charge or his representative of the place, which gives full missionary mandate.
Something should be done, however, for all those people who are victims of this terrifying
deception are likely to be damaged economically and psychologically, giving away their
economic asset, even with just the tenth month, or because they give their lives,
becoming priests, after seven / eight years of brainwashing, suffered in the way NC. As waste
important part of their time in order to follow a magician who has been known to take the game,
first of the bishops, then the priests, and finally the most helpless people, and this, in a vain attempt
to follow Jesus!
In this case I would recommend to collect as much material as you can to prove the intent
fraudulent and deceptive, that the way NC, and contact the judicial officers to open
an investigation of the psychological and economic exploitation that occurs in the community Catechumenals,
to the detriment of the people.
I await a response from the mainly responsible for the site but also by all those who want to
undertake an initiative that aims to solve the problem.
Cordially greet all the readers.
Reply Don Elio
Thank you, Lello, the FAX sent to me on July 3 last year. You made me bring tears to the eyes for the
passion that has inspired you to write me with strength and sincerity of the tragic truth for you and
million people, 'unaware of the danger that lurks in the Catholic Church, have
challenging and costly experience of the Neocatechumenal Way for adults', and burning for
many in the Church have not been guilty of responsibility and informed and are not
occurred.
You sure you read only the summary of my book 'SECRETS OF THE WAY NC' because if I
read everything you would find answers to most of your provocative, but right questions.
Deliberately in my book there is an explicit denunciation of plagiarism and do not use the term
'Association with fraudulent intent' to which you do mention. The reason is twofold:
1) The Constitutional Court, dated 18.06.1981, held unconstitutional the art. 603 of the Code
criminal because 'imprecise and indeterminate' and recommended that the reformulation. The article
stated: "Anyone who submits a person to his power, in order to reduce total state
of awe, shall be punished with imprisonment from 5 to 15 years. " This absence has given
possibility manipulators of the mind to act undisturbed using more sophisticated techniques, without
any risk legal. Not an expert on the subject, I did just a few words and now expect
others more competent than me studying the phenomenon and to work together to expose him.
2) With regard to the status of 'association with fraudulent intent' and the duty to
unmask and denounce the court, I can share your thought, but I can not
go further, because I have never participated in any Community. My experience with the NC was
limited to service in the 'Penitential' and a People's Mission 'which revealed herself as the' Ad
of Catechesis'. In these confessions have often correct for many as they confessed to the
concept they had of sin and for personal irresponsibility. In 'Mission', then, after the
4 ^ I objected in writing to the conference 'priest' who led the team of 'missionary', serious
doctrinal errors that I could not tolerate were announced to my parishioners. While recognizing
in his good intentions and enthusiasm, bordering on fanaticism, I reminded him of his limitations
intellectual obvious to everyone. Has not responded to any of my complaints, but has run limited to say
that he trusted blindly in a 'priest' intelligent and good, and giving orders to
'Head of Mission' to curse me.
Here fits your speech on the objective responsibility of parish leaders, bishops,
Cardinals and of the Supreme Pontiff, who 'have strongly recommended and supported with
fervor every initiative of the NC '.
I believe that the NC are infiltrators in the Catholic Church, and who, by deceit have
presented to parish priests, bishops and the Supreme Pontiff himself, getting involved
accondiscendenze and recommendations. These secrets interest, combined with the ostentation of
'Fruitful', have played a soporific and delayed for more than thirty years, the Putnam
doctrines and practices that control, are essential ('unavoidable' as he now says the Pope in
letter to Cardinal Stafford, president of the Pontifical Council for the Laity) before accepting and
present as ecclesial reality this proposal Christian-Catholic.
The movement, however, with guilty connivance, has got to be able to open dozens of seminars in
around the world and to order, to date, more than 1,700 priests for this' New
Evangelization '. I can not share your outrage at this improper delay in
check 'your farm'. For five years now, finally, the Pope came to the attention of many
doctrinal errors and unorthodox practices and therefore gave the order, the Congregations competent
to take delivery of their texts (over 3,000 pages of mimeographed who had always denied to have
and below), to study them, fix them and continue to follow the movement in its activities
future. It is now five years since the Pope pointed out the 'inescapable obligations',
but the draft of the Statutes, resubmitted without taking into account the comments and suggested corrections
the Vatican Congregations, was rejected twice and repeatedly presented to
Following the urgent recommendation of the Pope to Cardinal Stafford was always rejected.
The last meeting was set for 6 (8) December 2001, but Kiko has not even presented.
In the following days there was a procession of Monsignori from the Vatican and bishops who have
went to Villa Kiko, to beg him to correct the dots 'unavoidable' which he made reference letter
the Pope and to accept the conditions proposed by the Congregations competent, but Kiko
has run always shown unwavering, especially for requests for corrections on the Eucharist and the
Reconciliation. At the same time, however, did spread rumor that would soon be adopted: the
6gennaio (as Javier), 13 (according to Kiko) Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, and now it is said by
February ...!
After the last letter of the Pope, some priest said: "As long as the Pope does not approve, you
you can no longer consider you as an expression of the Catholic Church. " Others (such as P. Bonaventura
Conventuals of Pescara) have torn with anger and indignation the Pope's Letter to Cardinal
Stafford, or have not made known to the members of their communities. The time is topical and has
decisive importance for the near future. What will happen? In my opinion, the NC multiply
their public appearances alongside the Pope, the bishops, and participate in conventions
such as those for the New Evangelization (formerly snubbed because they were not the
characters), as if to look for a legalization that is slow to come (and perhaps never will).
Continue to ignore the voices of dissent, such as yours and mine, and in the impossibility is
endeavor to diminish the value of inventing and spreading slander and discredit any defamatory
testimony. The 'priests', before enthusiastically involved, then compromise and blackmail made, it
will be in the unpleasant and humiliating position of having to admit mistakes, negligence and silence, and
have to come out to choose, so obvious to everyone, whether to stay with the Church of Jesus or
this sectarian movement.
They will not be easy or painless. Are difficult times for everyone, from those who have had the
more responsibility. But everyone must do their part. I poor country priest and
any culture, I tried to do and will continue to do my part indicating errors and distortions
as m'è given to find out. You and those like you have lived and suffered on their skin
this deception evil, you have to give 'with firmness and strength' to your testimonies, 'denouncing
even the courts' wrongs. At last, some theologians became aware
(Perhaps through my work) of this cluster of errors already authoritatively reported by the theologian
Passionist Enrico Zoffoli, and others will soon be made aware of these realities so far
unimaginable. Someone started. Now it is important to continue to speak out and challenge without
fear of 'losing' in this world if we believe in eternal life. Then the bishops and the cardinals,
perhaps before we come to the 'port sighed,' may decide to revise their judgments and
to assume their responsibilities.
It is not easy to bring these disputes to the general public. NC I have achieved a great
power, subtle but real, in the Church and outside the Church. Myself to publish this my
I have not found work collaboration between the Catholic publishing who did not want
'Compromise'. except the sign of Udine Edition. Only a few journalists lay so far have
provided to make their journal articles on: Giampaolo Di Jorio (Messenger), James Stapleton
(Jesus) and the Agency ADISTA n. 9/2002.
Even without the power of this world, each of us must do his part with courage and
not give up at the first difficulty.
Only then will the truth and the truth will triumph even justice, I hope. I am sure that he who
created this great deception and has tapped billion to the poor people to 'fill the coffers of the
Vatican '(When he had to say to Cardinal Ruini Kiko and 150 bishops gathered at the Circus Maximus for
gathering of Young NC at the end of WYD) will claim, of course, the refund with interest.
But the true is you cheated. But I can not imagine how you can be compensated. The Church
came to meet young couples seeking the declaration of nullity of their marriage,
paying almost the full costs. Something like that, but in proportions enormously
more could be done for the millions of people who, misled, have given with
trust their property to the 'Church', as he was led to believe them. It 'utopia, of course, but I dare
hope that something will happen.
Hello Lello. With respect and sympathy for your frankness. Don Elio.
I preferred the wide-ranging letter appeared on the website instead of the peppered e-mail sent to
me personally, because it focused mainly on the responsibility of priests. I
fact that in the Church we must all feel responsible and do everything possible to prevent violence,
plagiarism and injustices of all kinds, from anywhere come. I tried and I try to make my
part, but also to you, the Lord demand an account of your brother, and then how you answer!?
LETTER OF A YOUNG MAN TO HIS BISHOP
Dear lord, I am a thirty year old guy of your diocese and I am writing this letter to
I tell you what is happening.
I am the son of an ordinary family, the son of parents who have spent their lives in the service of
family grew with the intention to capitalize on the valuable lessons taught by my loved ones and
by Catholic doctrine, which has ingrained in me, faith, hope and well-defined guidelines.
At some point in my life I met a girl the same age, the daughter of simple people, a
family very similar to mine.
Among us has blossomed the flower that is called love. A great privilege to find a believing woman
in the values of the Christian faith: I felt really lucky. So I began to attend
this girl, smart, graduate, sensitive, working in a group, even as
responsible. Although I did not know what was the Neocatechumenal movement, I always thought
a group similar to those of Catholic Action, which for many years I have attended yet I,
totally ignoring what I turned out to be. Some abnormal behavior, such as commitments
progressively more frequent meetings with up to five times a week and days
whole of cohabitation, a progressive drying up of family relationships and friendships, so
deny its presence in ceremonies and sacraments, a detachment from the problems and
the responsibilities that life puts us today, a hostile attitude to dialogue if I
ask information or comparisons on the practices and doctrines of this movement are the elements
triggers that, in addition to strongly affect our relationship, I was motivated to
deepen my knowledge.
At first I spoke to the priest of the Neocatechumenal community, because
m'illuminasse and so I could, to give me peace.
I wanted to be present at the meeting my girlfriend, just to emphasize the desire to get
under discussion, limpid and serene. The priest, albeit very subtly scolded me
not to be a good Christian, a good Christian because, as my girlfriend is the neocatecumeno
that offers exclusively and absolutely the first place to pray to God, regardless of
any other needs and commitment. Everything comes after! He said, "you see, if you choose to pay
assistance to your father who needs care or go into the community to pray with the neocatechumens is
just go to pray, God will take care of your father Or, "to go and pray, the children are left
the baby sitter. In our communities, parents, among other things, with many children, behave that way. The
works will also be good but the only thing that saves is faith. "
I immediately thought of the sacrifices of my parents in tackling poverty, dedicating himself totally
without reserve to the family and those who manifest some need, educating me and my
brothers Christian charity, volunteering, listening, sharing, work as a service, the
all accompanied by prayer. But in the opinion of this priest, this faith made of
sacrifices, services and works towards his brothers, is the faith of series B!
These statements are rimbombate inside me, probably due to my ignorance theological
and my faith 'simpleton', but failing now, even more to give me peace, I
told before with my family, then with the pastor, then with the other priests
diocese with specific knowledge, finally making contact with associations and priests to
national level, for years dealing with and write about this subject. I'm still amazed at how much
revealed itself to me! In addition to finding a key to so many questions that I had more and more
frequently, because of the anomalous behavior listed above, I found many examples of
priests and faithful humble. It seems to me that everything is cloudy: contemporary celebrations for each
community, strictly closed (occasionally I could attend Mass with more than a few
problems, with regard to the meeting instead of the word mid-week, categorically not
I was never allowed) celebrations in basements that even more give a sense of closure and
occult. In the future, the beautiful churches we have and so infuse spirituality will be
torn down and we will be praying in the garage of our homes? Mass for them is just for them,
Saturday evening, almost night, with certain rites and forms that you know.
A few weeks ago began the "catechesis" for the "conversion" of new souls. I had
how to read the warnings affixed to the doors of the church, I heard the celebrant after Mass
He urged the faithful, I heard the testimony of a young couple who years ago attended
catechesis benefiting indescribable. I agree, but in any sheet and no mouth is
out the term "Neocatechumenal movement." Yet catechists are neocatechumens and
doctrine is that impart the neocatecumena. What makes a movement and the people who
not adhere to proclaim to the world who you are? Maybe you want to hide something? I attended
meetings: the first night and only this. at the center of the speakers was put a friar. Its
intervention was limited to a gentile 'Good evening', but its presence has given official status and legitimacy
to the movement. After a poor assumption on the meaning of "Neocatechumenal Way" (nothing
more than you might find in an encyclopedia), started the reports by the catechists,
which are defined theologically ignorant, not having made special studies, but enlightened.
They say: "We want to tell our experience rediscovery of faith, our process
re-Christianization. " It 'depressing to note however, that these people recite, not
their experiences, but the talk of Kiko collected in the text "Guidelines for the teams of catechists for
the conversion phase. " One night after I brought home the lyrics, and I can assure you,
that exposures shall also comply with commas. But these texts are not one of the reasons for which the
movement, twice, was refused his status? But then this can still
called catechesis? But then these people so you can define zealous catechists enlightened?
We are talking about the same church or another parallel? If it is the same, which is the intention:
unite or divide?
I understand because of the lack of a statute, the Holy Father has delegated to you the Bishops
guide this transition phase.
But it seems that this situation "intermediate" is beneficial only to the movement, which found support in
some areas, continues to act freely, putting on display the priests complacent,
long as they remain in strict and absolute silence (as I note in the reflections) or respect the role
assigned by the NC doctrine (as stated in the masses) and, of course, putting in bad
light people like you, tried to give precise rules but hinder their
practices.
I have read the provisions of the Holy Father (us last April) and also your, Dear
Monsignor, was the last Easter that I wondered why the vigil that night
could be celebrated in the diocese of ... but bisognasse go to ... Now maybe I know, but
certainly, you know priest much more. I will not make judgments about other aspects such as
"Donations", the "tenth" and "manipulation of the mind." There manifest only my regret in
note that in Italy there are some family members of militants, forced to resort to exposed and complaints, such
to initiate investigations by the prosecutor. The exasperation which now it has come, has produced
just last September, the launch of a petition with the aim of re-introducing the crime of
plagiarism. These are the fruits of the Catholic religion? I believe not, but I can not pretend to
not having seen and heard nothing.
That's why, Dear lord, I decided to write you, accennandoVi only a part of this
my sad story, with the hope and prayer that you, among his many activities, manage to find a
small space of time and show me Vs thought. I want to say also that I do not live
this story just as problematic torque, but above all, and I emphasize above all, as
willingness to understand where are you taking me this faith of which I founded the guiding principles of my life
and that so far I have tried with my humility and my limits, to witness to others. Therefore,
regardless of the fate that will be up to my report, my conscience forces me to see and
understand, knocking now at your door and then those that are needed.
I believe that a person is free to make the choices that they consider most appropriate and as such, must
be respected. But you need to know to choose. It 'duty to inform the movement
members and aspirants, it is the right of these, to be informed.
Waiting for a nod VS I offer my greetings and I thank you for reading this.

This young man has been answered adequately by his bishop and although he did shocking discoveries,
is, and will always remain a believer.
How many others, young and not so young, priests and laity, are still waiting for a response that is slow to
coming!!?
TESTIMONY OF A FORMER - Neocatechumenal NOSTALGIC
Dear Father Elio, thank you for your patience in listening to me you've always got the phone, and
for the help and the strength you have given me and my wife when we were about to leave the
Way, and for the support they continue to give us because we do not have to feel alone! Your book has
made me understand many things. Now I would like esternarti what still haunts me remembering the life lived
the Path.
I would like to begin by saying that I think the question very well reveal the true purpose of the Way
that we were made each time we had to make a pass. The question was: "You before
Way, as you were? Tell facts. " I think this question would have you believe that the CN
was to be the center of the life of the faithful or the adept. Evidence the message you want
pass was: "In the beginning there was darkness. Now there is light, thanks to us and our catechists
catechesis. " When we had to respond to this as similar questions, we
designed with transport and exaltation to the 'crap' how we were .. and all those 'slaughter' that
we had done in our lives. So they spoke catechists and made us believe that it was
a great grace to have met them .., and you were enlightened by the Community.
Many years in the community, one that most comes to mind is crap, the
sense of contempt and many other negative words that were repeated with great exaggeration to
exasperation. Transported Community experience that we were living, we were all
according to a plan approved in the central figure of the catechist. This design is realized
in the ordinary life of the Way and the various steps, when analyzing the gifts and graces, for
shed light on our lives and see clearly what we really are. These gifts and these
because there were revealed by the catechists who judged our work spiritual seconds
criteria established by the Way and that we were strangers. Over the years there
was identified more and more with the advice we were given by the catechists who c'invitavano to
peer deeper and deeper into our lives and invited us to welcome the Word of God
that would reveal our ills and negativity harbored within us, together with the latent
devil.
According to the Way we should not shock of our lives, or what we are, or
what the catechists say about us.
Very often the same catechists, with a prophetic spirit, we repeated the notion that the design of the
salvation, sometimes passing through the experience of sin, because then the grace of God lifts up easily.
In my opinion within the CN is also something good: the indoctrination through readings
evangelical, historical research on biblical figures, the spirit of prayer that must pervade the
our lives. This helped us to grow in faith and made us become aware of the appearance
religious of our lives.
But all this was completely driven by a compulsion to catechesis and a pedagogy that
standardizzava all, making us obey blindly and answer questions from the catechist
touched his awareness and intimate life. This happened as a sort of inquisition
made in the light of some word taken from the Gospel. Catechists scrutinized and dug inside
us, in family relationships or interpersonal. In turn, then, had to be introspective and
analyze the actions most intimate,
committed in the name of our idolatries that had affected our lives or the lives of others. The
answers, then, we had to write on a sheet. Some answers were read in public, sometimes
even in the presence of a priest. We were given an address authoritarian and we had to
welcome all with great reverence. In those moments the catechists had a similar behavior
to that of a psychologist or a spiritual guide. Their direction and bordered transfigured the
prophetic mandate. They felt and presented themselves as sent by the Church and boasted of
this endowment, and this mandate.
It is not my intention to argue, but I remember that sometimes, during the polls, someone was
subjected to an almost torture.
The thing that most surprised was the silence of the priest, who did not intervene even in those
moments. Not all the priests who were present at these polls behaved well. Someone
had the courage to speak out about some things, but has been criticized and discredited. The
catechists, then condizionavano the brothers of the Community by suggesting that those who do not support
this reality, can not understand the spirit of the Way, and added that the CN was approved by the
Pope and the Church, that soon would also approved the Statute fully recognizing
this type of religious movement. Sometimes even invited some priest does not NC, but it was
only to preside over the Eucharistic liturgies, the Word or penitential liturgies. All this in
order to give a sacred image and at the same time, to give credibility to the Way and its
work among men.
One thing I was very bad: the isolation! At some point I began to express
doubts about the Way and report things that seemed very questionable. Also
other brothers have shared these my doubts, but when close to the doubts I have put the idea of
leave the Community, all around me made himself into space. The same 'brothers' with which over the years
we shared many community experiences, so many moments, so many preparations and parties
liturgical many birthdays and picnics .. ., All turned their backs on me. I do not have more
called, as they once did, not even feel like I was.
Actually, someone called me, but only to invite them to live together in the presence of
catechists, because I had the chance to compare them with my doubts.
I think our only life, it is right to have the courage to take their
responsibility. It 'just that we ourselves choose, having to be accountable only to God and to
our confessor. It is not written anywhere that you have to rely on a secular and be guided
blindly by him without the slightest doubt against him and against what he
he says. As a lay person can claim that I have to say things about my intimate sphere,
family, or my conscience? I do not write this by accident. Over time had seemed to me
that the only important thing in the Community, safe and reassuring it was just what we were
that catechists. The courage to judge for themselves was regarded as a
rebellion or as a demonic temptation that once stood in front of our life. But rebellion
those who, for what? I was wondering myself.
I remember with sadness that those leaving the Community (which always occurred at the passage)
was pitied for his choice and found a weak and looked with mercy. When someone
wanted to get out of the Community, catechists, with a prophetic spirit, the prospettavano what would
become his life if he had not followed the Way more and told him he had to follow their
advice because they were righteous and truthful. They presented themselves as angels, prophets sent by
If God then someone abandoned the Community without heed their warnings threatening,
then tried to give a sense of security to those who remained in and as additavano
a renegade, as (in the words of coarse) one who has renounced their faith those leaving the
Community.
This is why we so afraid to leave the community!
I wonder what happens inside the head of the Orthodox faithful Neocatecumenale, which is
into in good faith. I think, first of all, the need to remember and consider very seriously, what we
was said in some passages, namely, that between us and God there was an Alliance that had
enshrined in putting our signature on a sheet that had been placed over the Bible of the Community.
All this had happened in the transition and in the rite of the Second Ballot. It was a covenant made
directly with God through catechists, as prophets. and the presence of the priest.
This is only one of the points of conditioning. Others were proclaimed with data from the expressions
strength, such as "Out of the Community there is a religious reality that tell you about how our
directly of your life! There is a Way that leads you to live the Word of God which is
embodied in your story! However, if you decide to go, brother, do it now Come on! Get up and
go! But remember one thing: the Lord today has passed and you have not received! Today you open the
your heart! You can convert!
Come on! We are coming to you. We came to bring the kerygma that the Lord died, but for
you, for me, was resurrected. It is not true that your life is a mess: now you can change! You can
lean on this cross! Do not look at the smallness of your catechists!
We are sent by the Church only to bring you a message: you can do it, you can
raise! If you now decide to leave the Community, know one thing (and we have to tell you,
that now you are in salt in your family, among your colleagues. Get out of here you may become tasteless,
trampled by your story, trampled by all. "
In order not to make it too long, these are some sentences here and there by catechesis and warnings
catechists made by some brothers. I wanted to write them down to give an idea of the psychological climate and
the presumption of certain statements.
Another thing made me feel so bad. During the meetings (which always took place in late
evening) in various questions were questions like: "You pray? How do you pray? By the
tithing each month? Why not take the tenth? ". All of this for me was crazy! There was a
modicum of respect for others. Now, as I write this testimony, I seem to
exaggeration, but it is just what I have experienced and I have heard all these years!
Another disturbing aspect made me think a lot. If any brother pointed out
apparent contradictions between what he said and what the catechist said the spiritual director,
poor man was severely reprimanded. I remember a sister who is exposing a problem
family nature, he pointed out a clear discrepancy between the advice that they gave and those of
confessor. The catechist then pointed out certain things of the past, that her sister had revealed in
famous secret ballots, throwing the anathemas such as: "You can not talk because seeds
discord within the Church! Know that your way of doing just leads to summon the Spirit
Holy because He defends the Church! So I admonish you telling you: Do what we tell you!
And if you do not happen to you straight from the ... and that ... ". Angry and desperate, dear sister came
in crisis for a few weeks, but unfortunately returned to apologize to the catechist
riconfermandolo so, the prophet of his life.
When I think of that episode makes me think that I walk in the catechist is like a
father and the Community as a mother protector. Each member is always linked to its
umbilical cord, well anchored to the father catechist.
Sometimes I can think of tragicomic situation that I have seen: proselytizing among
the same family; exaltations of hierarchical positions given by the catechists to some brothers. In some
relaxing moments spent together a few 'brother' confirmed catechist m'è happened to talk
of God or of the Community. Everything was fine as long as you agree, but as soon as the speech touched
the Way and the opinions diverged, then the brother changed tone of voice and embodied the
catechist, both in speaking, that nell'atteggiarsi.
I also noticed a widespread depersonalization. I was struck by the vocabulary of phrases and
statements typical of the Way. With the passing of time, through a long process, almost all
the brothers conformed to the typical way of speaking of the Way. It is not my intention to throw
discredit on the Way because I've seen too many good things and I have no valid instrument of
a theological heresies in order to counter some of the bottom. I hope, however, that the brothers
have the courage to doubt, not being influenced, to regain possession of their lives,
choose according to their conscience.
I realize that now I miss him so much a group, a community, in order to continue to have
religious education. But now I see in my family a great opportunity for training
Community. Here I compare myself with my wife, their children, and by the grace of God that I experience
lived in the Way has certainly influenced me. I realized that the Neocatechumenal Communities (or
other religious group that tend to do) should have the sincere intention of opening of
more: they should deal with other realities and always put into question. In the case of
Neocatechumenal Way, then, should no longer continue to analyze, to see only defects
esasperandoli. Should cultivate and nurture optimism. They should have the ability to not
take itself too seriously, to downsize, to seek peace and serenity in the group.
In summary, it seems to have found so much pessimism in the Community. His brother lives catechumen
for twenty years experience in confused state that makes him focus his life on the catechist who
the plasma, making it fragile, insecure, in need of security, that only the catechesis of Kiko, transmitted
catechists with authority and slavishly, aid him.
The Neocatechumenal Way is an experience truly mortifying!
Dear Father Elio, here is what I felt the need to write to you to give you a way to understand my
mood, and have yourself a paro1a driving and comfort!
Thank you for everything you have done for us and for the enlightening words that you still want to
direct us!
I ask his blessing for me and my family ..

FINAL THOUGHTS
If these are the fruits, who knows what will be the plant that produced them!
What to think of the many bandied about as good (conversions, seminaries, priests, itinerant), but
Products from the same plant?
In confirmation of my concerns carry a summary, a letter appeared on the website:
[email protected] that Mgr Luigi Bommarito, Archbishop of Catania, sent to NC
of his diocese.
After thanking God "for the richness, variety and vibrancy pastoral encountered in
Parishes, in religious life, in associations, movements and combinations
Church "of his diocese, in tune with the Holy Father, he considers combinations of the faithful as
'God's gift', a wave of grace, receives them with gratitude and enhances responsibly.
As a pastor, he was always there to encourage, to bless, encourage, promote and
correct aspects and expressions of concern (down or up), followed by the CN
esteem and affection, but also with some concerns, discussing problems with managers, both inside
and outside the Diocese. But points out that many doubts remain of a theological-pastoral and,
these are found everywhere, in many local Churches Italian (and not only Italian) is
in terms of ideas and in terms of concrete experiences with suffering.
Delaying the approval of the Way by the Holy Father, he considers it appropriate to clarify and
give accurate responses to requests for clarification so far remained unanswered. Having attended
catechesis as a priest in Monreale exposes them the reasons that have always puzzled me,
and lists some aspects of the Way that seem in need of "necessary, relevant and urgent
explanations. "
1. The catechist embezzles of judicial authority which is proper to the priesthood
Ministerial. AI priest is recognized (granted) the religious function and functional
Holy Orders, mortificandolo and almost deprived him of the judicial function which is natural
an integral part of the order.
2. On the Way s'insiste heavily on the nothingness of man and the inability to open, without
the help of the Neocatechumenal Way.
3. Citing speeches and testimonies of many Bishops, noted that it continues to celebrate the
Private Mass on Saturday evening and the Easter Vigil of creating confusion, discontent and discomfort pastoral;
giving importance to the exclusive participation of the most qualified, shares, and contrasts the faithful in
Parallel churches (one of series A and the other B-series) unable to recognize brothers.
4. While the gifts should be for the good of all in the parish, the NC (and other movements)
exploiting the common good to ensure their charisma, absolutizing choices and imposing the
Their method as if it were unsurpassed and unique compared to all others, and (for some) the only
salvation.
5. Noted with bitterness that in parishes, where there are the NC, it is not easy
coexistence and cooperation with the other ecclesial realities. E 'need to tune with
plan and with the addresses of the Shepherd of the Diocese.
6. The message of Jesus is free and liberating, while the CN shows uncompromising and seems
walking on the imperative categorical, falling into a fundamentalist fundamentalism which encourages
divisions and separatism, creating dangerous ghettos and chapels in the Church of God, born to be
one great family of the Father.
7. The 'Ballots' made by a layman, often scarnificano consciences with questions that no-sun
confessor can do. For centuries the Church has abolished the public confessions!
8. In his Letter to Cardinal Stafford, the Holy Father asks attentive and careful discernment in the light
address theological and pastoral.
The judgments on the quality of the Way are not always all agree, and therefore demands a lot of
reflection before continuing the Way in a safe and definitive.
Having acknowledged the presence of the Spirit of Jesus that led them to do pastoral work
worthy of admiration because they are made with sacrifice of time, emotions, money and gestures
missionary zeal for the good of the parish community, he asks clarity and appropriate
changes in the practice of pastoral calls to change what is modified bile, to correct what
it is necessary and urgent to correct, to live peacefully together with all the faithful of the parishes,
in communion advocated by Jesus asks to review the steps taken to review and to
make them authentic, in the light of the Conciliar ecclesiology, the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
Guidelines for the Pastoral Plan of the Italian Episcopate and the guidelines of its
Shepherd. This parish communities await the charism given by the Lord to NC and that is
Hopefully, it is recognized by the Spirit through the approval of the Statute, for years presented to
Holy See.
These reflections are of a bishop who, in conjunction with other Bishops, has experienced
personal notes two parallel churches, and considers it as serious enough to feel the need
to intervene, despite the breezy, imminent approval of the Statutes. And the other Bishops
know these things? If they know, why do not intervene! Who is able to understand!
