I was doing some research for some foundations that promote spirituality and promote living the gospel when I came across this interesting site: Focolare [ focolare.org] I hope some can benefit by this group. In IC XC, Father Anthony+
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Father and others, Communion and Liberation is a vibrant group that I have been very impressed with. Very "grassroots", very involved in culture (literature, poetry, music, beauty). C+L International Website: http://www.clonline.org/ Some websites run by C+L'ers: Godspy http://www.godspy.com/ Image Journal of Arts and Religion http://www.imagejournal.org/ I have been unable to be involved with C+L because I don't live close to any of their communities. I will soon be moving about 45 min. away from one and hope to get involved then. Peter John

From what I know, the Focolare Movement is an ecumenicist and globalist-minded organization that promotes a form of humanistic spirituality.
The focolare-like speech isn't anything strange nowadays but at the time when it started (in the 1940's) it was really an innovation.
Their founder Chiara Lubich was a socialist-oriented teacher who after the defeat of the Christian order in Italy in WWII, applied the liberal cruzade's vales to religion so that they were able to infiltrate Catholic seminaries and hierarchy in Italy.
The movement actualy paved the way for the 1960's humanistic revolution in Western Christianity as it adopted the majority of its causes: hypocritical pacisifsm, Ecumenism, Internationalism and "rediscover the gospel":
"We seek to contribute to peace and to achieve the evangelical unity of all people in every social environment. Our goal is a world living in unity, and a spirituality that helps dismantle centuries-old prejudices".
The movement now recruits Non-Christian members "for the ideal of a united world". No wonder why it was supported by Pope John Paul II and the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I.
The other groups you mentioned are of a similar kind. Communnion and Liberation has a dark past of collaborationism here in Mexico, infiltrating the Roman hierarchy (and other Churches) in favour of the socialist policy of the government.
