There are many within the Catholic Church who are rightfully concerned about the Neocatechumenal Way and its approach to Catholic teaching and liturgy. See here for example. Back in 2002, I prepared a report on the Neocatechumenal Way for Our Lady's Warriors. See here.
At EWTN's website, one Catholic notes that the Neocatechumenal Way has, "..un-Catholic beliefs and practices. The REALLY solidly Catholic magazine 'Christian Order' has two articles available on its website giving examples of this. They are: The Neocatechumenate: Testimonies www.christianorder.com/features/features_2000/features_feb00_1.html The Neocatechumenal Way -- A Fearful Danger to the Faith (by Father Enrico Zoffoli) www.christianorder.com/features/features_1995/features_apr95.html This group would seem to be an example of those who have 'deceived the elect'. The abuses noticed by your questioner are not the only problems, as you will gather from the title of the article mentioned above, and the problems are inherent in the group, not just in any 'individual branch'. As far as I know, the group has no canonical status, but has managed to spread all over the world. Complaining to the Bishop or the Vatican is, unfortunately, unlikely to have any effect, because the group is large and influential. But it could be tried. Avoid this group and spread the word about its errors and dangers." See here.

Thank you for posting.
They have done much good work, so it makes challenging the members, who are unaware of these doctrinal errors, very difficult.
I will approach it simply by asking questions, so they can investigate each of these 8 areas themselves.
Can you please explain whats going on in plain English?
When you look for support from/and give warnings to the common folk and write stuff like:
“The vicar of the iscariot and plausium magersterium has had a cumuppance vs the triallitine rite of pre-vatican2 imposfacto dipso.”
It makes our heads spin.
Im sure whats going on is important so could you try to explain it a bit better? Thanks!
Francis is supporting a group that isn’t Catholic in its beliefs?
Color me shocked.
OP...this would be a great article for the Religion Forum.
