Hindus and Christians celebrate Easter together as Christians persecuted/ Liturgical abuse in Neo-Catechumenal Way

It is highly symbolic that in the State of Orissa, in the grounds of the Catholic school Vijaya di Raika, where the unprecedented wave of anti-Christian violence began in 2008, 10,000 Hindus and Christians gathered to pray on the occasion of Easter. Children, old men, servants, religious, all attended a prayer at noon to show that peaceful coexistence is possible. The anti-Christian violence in this Indian state had killed hundreds of Christians and forced thousands more to flee their homes, and even today it is estimated that 3,000 Christians have not been able to return home, and the authors of the massacre continue to enjoy widespread impunity.

Benedict XVI takes control

The approval of the extra-liturgical ceremonies of the new community of the Neo-Catechumenal Way last January, during a huge celebration in Rome attended by thousands of Neo-Catechumens, had caused a lot of discussion. Rumors had been growing since December: the Vatican would recognize the "specific rites" of the Way. This caused a stir in certain circles: traditionalists who cried sacrilege, and Asian bishops, very angry with a community they accused of being a Church within the diocesan Church. Ultimately, only the "extra-liturgical" rites—that is, those outside the celebration of Mass—were finally approved by Benedict XVI. > However, it seems, according to the article by the highly informed Vatican expert Sandro Magister, that the "Mass of Kiko," the founder of the Way, came very close to being fully approved. Indeed, it was only at the last moment that the Pope was informed of what was brewing at the Congregation for Divine Worship, which was in charge of the matter. He then requested that the decree of approval be hastily rewritten to apply only to the group's practices outside the Eucharist.

> For many Bishops are irritated by this movement, which operates within dioceses in total self-sufficiency, systematically celebrating Mass on Saturday evenings with a specific liturgy that has never received Vatican approval; on the contrary, the movement has been repeatedly asked to cease its innovations, without this being done. In Nepal and Japan, relations between the dioceses and the Way are frosty.

> According to Magister, it was an audience with German Cardinal Rainer Maria Wolki that prompted the Pope to take control of the matter. Bishop Woelki shared with Benedict XVI the same concerns as his Asian colleagues. And it was on February 11th that Benedict XVI, in a highly official handwritten letter, requested the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to examine the Way's liturgical practices. A first meeting of the commission established for the occasion was held on March 26th; its conclusions were consistent with the Pope's concerns. To be continued.
