I don’t see that happening out west. They are old people. I went to a couple of their meetings and tried to emphasize the other programs we had in our parish.
They only ended up with about four gullible Hispanic women.
They brought huge groups of young people to World Youth Day, particularly from places where the Faith is almost dead, such as Boston. Cdl O’Malley is a big supporter of Neocatechumenate.
They were not all Hispanic, btw; I think the movement was probably initially encouraged in Hispanic parishes in Boston, but probably the majority of the kids were Irish (who otherwise, believe me, wouldn’t have anything to do with the Church in Boston) with a scattering of black kids.
