FOCUS Founder’s Retirement Exposes Post-Conciliar Ministry’s Doctrinal Bankruptcy
Catholic News Agency reports Curtis Martin’s retirement as CEO of FOCUS after nearly three decades, highlighting the organization’s expansion to 1,000 missionaries across 250 locations reaching 60,000 individuals annually. The article praises Martin’s leadership of this campus ministry founded in 1997, noting mission trips involving 20,000 participants and a 2024 Mother Angelica Award from EWTN. Martin transitions to an emeritus “Founder” role while Tim Thoman becomes interim CEO, with Thoman praising FOCUS’s “tenacity and professionalism, but mostly the love of Jesus.” This glowing corporate narrative omits the fundamental crisis of faith inherent in all post-conciliar ecclesiastical ventures.
