Ecumenical Evangelization: The Charismatic Trojan Horse Against Catholic Doctrine
The National Catholic Register portal reports that on June 2, 2026, U.S. leaders of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal announced the launch of “Evangelize America,” an ecumenically-oriented initiative following an audience with the antipope Leo XIV on May 30, 2026. Deacon Darrell Wentworth, president of the new organization, stated that “our fight is not with our Protestant brothers and sisters,” and explicitly cited John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis as inspirations. The initiative includes placing a Pentecostal member in every small group of twelve. Leo XIV praised the charismatic movement as “a great gift to the Church.” This entire enterprise constitutes a flagrant violation of Catholic ecclesiology, a betrayal of the Church’s missionary mandate, and a consummate expression of the conciliar apostasy that has reduced the Catholic religion to a fraternity club for the enemies of Christ the King.
