This website contains news and documents about the Neocatechumenal Way (NCW), an organization inside the Roman Catholic Church differing from typical Catholic groups in many aspects (especially doctrinal and liturgical issues) and organized like a "cult" (with its secrets teaching, its elitist hierarchy, its social i, its one-sided "official statements" denying even the most evident facts, a personality cult for the founder...).

    While the NCW managed to get some official acknowledgement by the Holy See (thanks to number of Bishops and Cardinals supporting it), even while encouraged and corrected by Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI, it still maintains its secrecy about the catechetical texts and keeps celebrating liturgical abuses (mostly closed-doors). To date it has never officially published any of its Catechetical Directory texts (not even after their somewhat weird "official" approval), in use since late 1960's, which partially leaked in early '80s showing large discrepancies with the Magistery of the Roman Catholic Church.

    The authors of this website are Roman Catholics worried about people directly or indirectly involved with the NCW. Our mission is to show differences between NCW and Roman Catholic teachings and liturgy, and to show why Popes encourage but actually want a serious change; we will try to translate the most known and verifiable sources to make evident those differences (most of the documentation about NCW is in Italian).

    Note that more than half of the worldwide NCW members live in Italy and Spain; this and the secrecy aura surrounding NCW liturgies and core issues of its teaching, partially explain why the NCW problem is not yet widely recognized in the Roman Catholic Church.
