A new storm is brewing on the southern border.
It has been a long while since we have posted, partly because all that can be pointed out about the problems with the Neocatechumenal Way has been said, not only here - but ALL OVER THE WORLD, many times over. However, the first Neocatechumenal Way Bishop in the United States (an actual bishop formed in the Way,
not just one that embraced the Way) Reverend Peter Baldacchino, of the Diocese of Las Cruces, New Mexico has a new group to contend with. The Voice of the Catholic Faithful of the Diocese of Las Cruces -is a lay group of people that have had negative experiences in their parishes and seek to have their grievences heard.
View the video recordings of two of their meetings. The first, you'll see is testimonies of more of the same crap the Neocats have pulled everywhere they go. https://youtu.be/o2_4iX_79tg?si=9Mej4yAfgjaEUL4k
The second, the Bishop and his henchman, Vicar General Rev. Kevin Waymel, show up. After the organizers try to regain their meeting, at the 8:26 mark, Fr. Kevin Waymel, yanks the microphone away from the organizer. https://youtu.be/XAsCCZ0B7XE?si=x1YvfnpXmiuXKs_1
The issue goes something like this:
The diocese of Las Cruces is relatively small compared to surrounding diocese, however, being a small diocese means the neocats weren’t able to hide their plans for long.
It seems the parishioners there have the same negative experiences as others from all over the world when the Neocatechumenal Way infiltrates their parishes.
The Way is still doing the same deceptive tactics of “come to the parish advent mission or marriage preparation or OCIA” then, unbeknownst to the Catholic or potential Catholic, they find themselves at a Neocatechumenal Way parallel church.
The poor parishioners of Las Cruces have walked the same path that many from all of the world have
experienced:
- The parishioner voices their issues and is ignored, lied to that what they saw, heard and/or experienced didn’t happen, isn’t true or, at best, they just misunderstood.
- The parishioner tries to go through the proper channels, such as talking to their pastor first, however it turns out he’s a neocat, and the parishioner finds themself admonished, told they simply just don’t know and are left feeling as though they need to put up and shut up or leave.
- The parishioner goes to the bishop and is met with gatekeepers, these gatekeepers are also neocat, and they talk to each other and the Bishop, who is also neocat and the parishioner gets nowhere.
- These parishioners multiply and they decide to hold a meeting off church grounds, to discuss their grievances, what to do, learn and hope that, maybe, if there’s a group of them, the Bishop will hear them. The pastor hears of these gatherings, invites them to “come and listen” because they are spreading “lies and misinformation”, again, they are told they are wrong and invalid, and they just don’t understand what the Way is trying to do in their parish.
- The group continues to meet, realizing they will get nowhere trying to have their grievances heard and know that they will need a formal petition or letter, sent through the proper channels in order to get to the Pope - they organize.
- The neocats MUST convince these “simple” parishioners that they just don’t know that what they see and hear and experience is just fine. The neocats fear having ANOTHER scandal, OR that people in the area will find out they are this parallel church and they can’t dupe people into their “catechisis” anymore so they tell the people, if only they would shut up and listen and obey everything would be fine because they, the Neocats, know better about the Neocatechumenal Way and everything will be fine.
- The Bishop and pastor/vicar general show up, unannounced, to the meeting that the parishioners have paid the time and space for, off of church grounds, and take over the microphone & podium, and act as though they are in charge. The first step of the Way is what again?? HUMILITY?? Oh sweet Jesus, if it weren't so wrong and divisive it's laughable. When the parishioners try to speak up for themselves, they are shut down, interrupted, talked over, and denied the microphone and space they created for themselves.
- The Bishop and Pastor/Vicar general show disregard yet again for the people’s concerns, stating they can’t understand why the people won’t ask their questions to them, the experts of the Neocatechumenal Way.
THE ARROGANCE IS ASTOUNDING!
