News of the week. A group of people in France have succesfully objected to a Focolare center coming to their town. Now the focolare is trying to find another place to build a enter in France. In Holland the focolare recieved a huge donation that enables them to start a center near the town of Heusden ('s-Hertogenbosch). They will however need even more money because the buildings are not good enough t live in. Soon they will start building dwellings on the premises of a beautiful old monastery. Recently we recieved many e-mails, both from people who encourage us and also from people that are very angry with this website. Now it is possible to write your opinion in the guestbook, but we als like to put some more questions on this site. We like to hear a reaction from the official Focolare movement, but also from people who are members or ex-members of this organisation. The official Focolare leadership is especially invited to clarify their point of view. All reactions will be published. Questions: 1. Why is there no democratic leaderhip in the focolare movement? 2. Why does the Focolare organisation keep all their financial dealings as secretly as possible? 3. Why do many Focolare people have expensive cars and beautiful houses? 4. Is it true that Focolare recrutes from people in vulnarable situations like young children and people who are having a difficult period in life? Legal actions In a recent verdict
the Dutch High Court has prevented a focolarino to recieve a tax-reduction.
The Court ruled that a member af the Focolare is bound to give all his
belongings and money to the Movement. This makes it impossible for him
to use the same money claiming it is a free gift and recieve a tax-deduction.

Question of the week by Lionello from Florence, Italy:
Answer: Opus Dei only wants to take charge of the Catholic Church while the people of the Focolare would also like to take charge of the rest of the world. As Chiara always reminded her followers of the Scripture: Blessed are the meek, for they shell inherit the earth. Focolare is working to put people in responsible positions within the Catholic Church like Cardinal Vik but also in the Italian political arena, in the economic field, at the United Nations through the cover of New Humanity. News of week from Bill in Arkansas, USA: Great news for people that gave money to the Focolare: A laywer in Arkansas is preparing legal action in order to retrieve some of the money that has been given away on the grounds that it was not used according to promisses by the Focolare. She is willing to assist other people in other countries, just send an e-mail to the adress below. Friends from America informed us about a meeting they scheduled for next month. The topic will be how to recover from living for many years within a sect. It seems that many people have difficulties to adjust to a normal life because they forgot how to deal with their emotions and how to take responsibility for their own life.

As Urquhart I was member of the Focolare Movement, for 11 years. The horror experiences and extreme manipulation of the focolarini and the thirst for power in Chiara is a really dangerous "carisma" inside the church, they are millions, there have money, they are all over the world ( in the poor village of brasil and africa and inside the congress of the United Nations, Italy, Brasil, Europe Union..., they want the world to be one... but under they control... The Focolare movement is probably the most dangerous structure inside our contemporary world.. as Chiara said "one day, the church (the Catholic church) will wake up and everything around and inside will be focolarini" |
