Some Insight into Pope Benedict's Interaction with Neocatechumenate

Professor Ratzinger? Too Easy

He tends to pass everyone at the first exam, even those groups and movements that afterward bring him great disappointment. Three case studies: the Neocatechumenals, the monks of Vallechiara, the Heralds of the Gospel

Heralds of the Gospel

ROME, August 26, 2011 – As is their tradition, the Neocatechumenals took part in great numbers at World Youth Day in Madrid.  And they added their own "day after," also according to their tradition.

On the afternoon of Monday, August 22, they gathered in the Plaza de Cibeles in the heart of downtown Madrid,  for the ritual of the "calling" to the priesthood or religious life, with their founder Francisco José  Gómez Argüello, nicknamed "Kiko," acting as anchor, surrounded by the archbishop of Madrid, Antonio María Rouco Varela, together with dozens of other bishops from all over the world.
