Is the Neo-Catechumenate Way Compatible with Religious Life? by Gerald A. Arbuckle, sm


Updated (2004) version of an article first published in Religious Life Review, Ireland, Jan-Feb 1994 by a former assistant-general of the Marist Fathers.

NEOCATECHUMEN INFILTRATION - Testimonial from members of the Good Shepherd Parish in Kelmscott Perth Western Australia

Never before have we been so deceived and affected as we are since the Neocats arrived secretly and as they say “Little by Little” are trying to convert the parish to their way. From a nice homely parish we now have DIVISION, DISHARMONY and DISCONTENT.
The parish priest (Fr Melvin) and Clesio (who has swapped places with Fr Dennis) refuse to discuss anything with us. We have seen the Bishop who is coming to meet with the parishioners (hopefully shortly) ... [more]
