Vatican Puppet Praises Neocatechumenal Way’s Anti-Catholic “Mission”
The VaticanNews portal (January 19, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV (Roberto Prevost) met with leaders of the Neocatechumenal Way, commending their “missionary charism” while urging them to avoid “rigidity” and become “builders of communion.” The article describes Prevost praising the group’s “itinerant teams” of families who proselytize globally, claiming they “rekindle the fire of the Gospel” among baptized Christians who “forgot” Christ. He warned against “moralism” that might cause “guilt and fear,” citing 2 Corinthians 3:17 (“where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”).
Neocatechumenal Way: Vehicle of Conciliar Revolution
Founded in 1964 by former art student Kiko Argüello and chemist Carmen Hernández—neither possessing theological formation—this movement embodies the auto-demolition (Paul VI) of postconciliar structures. Its “communities” replace parishes, its eucharistic liturgies violate rubrics (standing communion, lay preaching during Mass), and its doctrine promotes anthropological heresies condemned by Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907). The “Way” exemplifies three conciliar errors:
“Your mission is unique, but not exclusive; your charism is specific, but it bears fruit in communion with the other gifts present in the life of the Church.”
1. False Ecumenism: Prevost’s praise for their work among “non-Christians” ignores the dogmatic necessity of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (Fourth Lateran Council). The Church’s mission isn’t to “dialogue” but to convert infidels through the sacramentum regenerationis (baptism) as mandated by Christ (Mark 16:16).
2. Subjectivist Catechesis: The claim of “rediscovering baptism” through emotional “stages” replaces the Church’s systematic dogmatic instruction codified in the Catechism of the Council of Trent. St. Pius X condemned this as “vital immanence”—making religious experience superior to objective truth (Lamentabili Sane, 1907, Propositions 6, 22).
3. Naturalization of Grace: Describing families leaving “security” for mission reduces supernatural vocation to humanitarian impulse. Contrast this with Pius XI’s Quas Primas: “Nations will find no peace until they submit to the kingship of Christ.”
“Avoid Rigidity”: Code for Doctrinal Relativism
Prevost’s warning against “constraint, rigidity, and moralism” continues Bergoglio’s war on Catholic asceticism. When he states:
“The proclamation of the Gospel […] must always be free from […] moralism, so that they do not give rise to feelings of guilt and fear instead of inner liberation.”
He directly contradicts:
– The Council of Trent’s decree on justification (Session VI, Canon 20): “If anyone says […] that the sinner is justified by faith alone […] let him be anathema.”
– Pius V’s condemnation of the false “freedom of conscience” (Regnans in Excelsis, 1570): “We declare the leaders of the Anglican sect to have forfeited their right to rule.”
– St. Paul’s command to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12).
True liberation comes through sacramental confession and satisfaction—not psycho-emotional “accompaniment.”
The Masonic Subtext of “Communion”
By urging the Neocatechumenals to integrate into “ordinary pastoral care,” Prevost reveals the movement’s true purpose: dissolving Catholic distinctiveness into universal brotherhood. This mirrors Masonic religious syncretism condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864):
“The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.” (Proposition 80)
The article’s omission of the movement’s numerous scandals—heretical catechesis, liturgical abuses, cult-like control over members—exposes VaticanNews as propagandists. When Argüello claims his communities “reawaken faith,” he means replacing Thomistic theology with existentialist drivel.
