Bergoglio’s Successor Endorses Neo-Modernist Sect’s Subversion of Catholic Evangelization
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”).
