Antichurch

VaticanNews portal reports on the 60th anniversary celebration of the Neocatechumenal Way in Madrid’s Almudena Cathedral, where thousands gathered to commemorate the movement’s growth from the shantytowns of Palomeras Altas to a presence in 138 countries. The article quotes approvingly from a message sent by the antipope Leo XIV (signed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin), praising the movement’s “missionary commitment” and calling it “a fundamental task of the whole Church.” Kiko Argüello, co-founder of the Way, declared that the movement is “a fruit of the Second Vatican Council” and emphasized that “in the Way, we do nothing without the Pope and the bishops,” noting that it has spread “thanks to the support of all the Popes” beginning with Paul VI. Cardinal Cobo Cano of Madrid expressed gratitude for “sixty years of evangelisation” and announced the opening of the beatification cause for co-founder Carmen Hernández. Cardinal Kevin Farrell praised the movement for producing “innumerable conversions, the birth of Christian families, vocations to the priesthood and religious life.” The article presents the Neocatechumenal Way as a glowing success story of post-conciliar “evangelization.” What it conceals is that this movement is one of the most destructive instruments of the conciliar revolution, designed to replace the Catholic parish with heterodox communities, to undermine the authority of bishops, and to advance the modernist agenda under the guise of missionary zeal.
