The report gives extracts from Pope Benedict's address. He made some complimentary remarks and ended with
The Tablet has quite a lengthy article about the Neo Catechumens. They do seem to be rather a closed cult. On Saturday evenings the have a Mass reserved for themselves then attend the parish Mass on Sunday. "A community is formed when a group of people embark on a programme of catechesis called the Neo-Catechumenal Way. It is a course that can take 20 or more years to complete. Led by a catechist, it is marked by six successive stages, culminating in the renewal of the promises of baptism, usually at the Easter Vigil. A priest is said always to be present during the catechesis." http://www.thetablet.co.uk/article/6528 |

I think the best place for the Neo-Cats is in their 'own' Mass. Happy to leave them alone - I still consider to them to be increasingly 'old hat'. Veritas Truth CARLO |

CARLO have I got it right? Regarding the Neo-Cats do you regard liturgy like tailored suits? A well tailored suit in classic style never goes out of fashion. A suit made to the latest trendy fad is old hat (despite being a suit, not a hat) within the year. I think the NeoCatechumenal Way will be a flash in the pan, here today, gone tomorrow. |

Good point, Carlo. This idea of "ordinary" Christians going out into the community to spread the Good News among the great unwashed of the Middle East and Europe might have had some merit a couple of thousand years ago but is hardly appropriate for the sophisticates of modern society.

I am not sure what you mean by 'the great unwashed' ? Is this a 'Neo-Cat' term? Libera me Deliver me! CARLO |

Yes not bad Rose. I fear the Neo-Cats flashed in the pan some years ago without making a great impact. I doubt there is anything much left to flash now! Miserere nobis Have mercy on us CARLO |

I am fairly sure this Saturday evening Mass is open to everyone and is the Mass of Sunday. Gerry |

Benedict XVI has instigated an investigation into the Mass according to the rite of the Neocatechumenal Way and the results so far do not look good for the Way. http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1350217?eng=y |
