Bishop Mizobe appealed twice, to Vatican officials, to have that seminary closed. Finally, a group of high ranking Japanese bishops met privately with Pope Benedict. When are we going to see an end to all these divisions in the Church? I read praise for traditionalist seminaries. Now a neo-catechumenate seminary has been ordered to close. I think God that my parish still has a priest, just a plain ordinary priest. The idea of some priests specialising in ministering mainly to one group who share their particular preference of style of worship is, in my opinion, very worrying. |

Some may remember a few years back that there was a serious dispute within Bristol caused by some complaints that a particular Parish in that City had been taken over by the Neo-Cats and that those not willing to join up with the Neo-Cats had been forced out of the parish. A lot of accusations flew about that the Neo-Cats were a 'cult' and a 'sect'. There was a big Hoo Hah, the Bishop got involved and the Neo-Cats had to eat some humble Pie for a while. Anyone know where the situation stands now? William |

I think the neo-cats are simply off the radar these days. Neo-cat = Old hat Any recent sightings of neo-cats in the UK from anyone? Pax CARLO |

William, this may help, but it is only fair to state that the report is not on an official site owned by the hierarchy so I cannot say whether or not it is genuine. DIOCESE OF CLIFTON - Report into the presence and activities of the Neo-Catechumenal Way in the Diocese of Clifton. November 1996 |

I don't know which Parish you're talking about William, but the last time I went to an EF Mass in our Diocese I was one of a congregation of 16 and in quite a large Church too :( ... Read into that what you will... Shame really because I'd like to attend an EF Mass about once a month or every couple of months but they are really quite few and far between in our Diocese. I'm fine with the Ordinary Form undertaken with due respect. I feel on balance it will remain the main Mass I go to. |

Sorry William - I'm in the Diocese of Clifton - just to clarify that I was responding logically to your post!! It looks like Rose found it anyway. I've never been to that Parish. It would be a bit of a drive on a Sunday... |

Three parishes were affected: St Nicholas of Tolentino in Bristol, St Peter in Gloucester and Sacred Hearts at Chariton Kings in Cheltenham. |

Sorry Rose I'd only read St Peter in Gloucester. Mind you, the other two would be quite a drive for me too!! |

I seem to remember JPII praising the neocats for the number of priests produced from within their ranks. The catholic church is catholic - there is room for the neocats, efs, opus deis, ccrs, franciscans, dominicans, carthusians, celts, clares, carmelites and everyone else. Gerry |

The old memory cells seem to be working well. I found this from 2004:
