Weird new movements

[Alaisdir Ua Séaghdha]

Well, I've highlighted two. A former nun in the Spiritual Family of the Work of Christ has published a book in German about constant rape by a priest of that society, reviewed in the Brandsma Review; The founder of the Community of St John, a spiritual advisor to Jean Vanier, has been accused credibly of inappropriate relationships with women. I don't see the Legion of Christ listed above.

I think there has been trouble in the Community of the Lion of Judah and also the Community of the Beatitudes too. There seems to be a fine line between visionary leadership on the part of some founders and megalomania on the part of others.

New movements are often aligned with big egoes. This can be both positive and negative.
