They left questionnaires to be filled out at the back of the church. Overall, they're leftish (should your parish have more financial transparency? -- I'd like to see some financial transparency on the part of RENEW) and inane. I tried to look into it on the internet -- one thread from a few years ago on FR talked about Wiccan elements, which today aren't obvious on their website.
They offer books for sale -- but there's not enough description to make a judgement, and no authors are listed. They use the phrase "the Catholic tradition" (reminiscent of the Paulist Center!), and the Dominican nuns involved have a "Palestinian solidarity" project.
Have they improved over the years or are they just more devious?
Our old parish in MN had been involved, but for some reason wasn't doing anything with it by the time we arrived. I seem to remember some kind of "home church" mentality, but the thing that most struck me about it was the stubborn hatred for any Latin music, for Tradition, or for the old ceremonies. They were responsible for removing the black cassocks and white surplices of the altar boys and replacing them with slouchy, dingy "robes," altar girls, and a lot of other post-V II stuff. Wish I could be more help...
Check “Our Staff”. Do these nuns have habits? Where is the Episcopal input?
