FOCOLARE
The Focolare Movement seeks a One World Religion based on the “spirituality of unity” of its members. What kind of spirituality is that when the membership includes thousands of non-Catholics, non-Christians such as Muslims and Buddhists? Focolare is headed by its founder Chiara Lubich.
The founder Chiara Lubich is highly revered because of her private 'revelations.' These revelations have binding authority for the movement and seen as “Jesus in the midst.” The private revelations of Lubich is the mechanism that controls and holds the members together.
Bands, dances, personal testimonies, loud cheering, feverish emotion are characteristics of focolare.
The monastic community in Bose is mixed; with members from both sexes. Non-Catholics, a Swiss Reformed pastor, two Protestants, and a former archbishop now Orthodox monk have full membership there.
Focolare is a sect.
There is a support site for Focolare and ex-Focolare members: here
People from 98 countries came together for Chiara Lubich launching the “Volunteers for God” (a branch of the Focolare Movement) in a spectacular celebration in Budapest, September 2006.
“…in a message from Chiara in which she also explained that, if those living in a Focolare centre are like a ‘soul’, nurturing the ideal of unity, the Volunteers are the ‘body’, fully engaged with the world, in every aspect of life, yet committed to bringing the divine wherever they are.” @
And I suppose the “soul” is Lubich herself…
The Focolare movement is BIG in Europe! How big? So big there is cause for concern. And the Czechs are not amused. Well… not all of them.
Here is a a letter written by three Czesh priests, Fr. Eliáš A. Dohnal ThD. OSBM, Fr. Markian V. Hitiuk ThLic. OSBM and Fr. Metoděj R. Špiřík ThD. OSBM. It was sent to His Holiness Benedict XVI. and to Chiara Lubich, the founder of the Focolare movement, dated in Pidhirtsi, on the 7th of April 2006.
Declaration: Letter to Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church
Public opinion on the Focolare movement is even in the highest Church circles very positive. The Focolare is seen by many as a renewal and a model of the tomorrow Church. Unfortunately, the reality is different. Two papal authorizations from the past were gained by a cheat as it was kept in silence that there was a different gospel, a different spirit and different Christ (cf. 2Cor 11:4) there.

THE TRUE FACE OF THE FOCOLARE
Diagnosis of the roots of Focolare
Syncretism
In the entrance hall of the Mariapoli Centre there was an unusual notice hanging: Bhakti, way of love. Unity with God and universal brotherhood of Hinduism and Christianity (New City 10/2002). Another article mentions that Chiara received several doctorates of honour from Hinduists and Buddhists whereat she is also speaking about so-called unity and so-called love. What is one to say as for true love and unity with God?
In Hinduism there is not one Highest God, they have a plenty of gods with small g (demons). What kind of god or deity is it with which Christianity, according to Chiara, is to make unity?
Prem-yoga
Chiara L. has established a so-called prem-yoga (foco-yoga), which is a fruit of the spiritual syncretism of the Focolare movement. She pronounced that during her meditation with Hinduists she had experienced spiritual vibrations. In Hinduism god is not a person but only some kind of vibration. In case this “vibratile spirit”, which Chiara Lubich received, has penetrated into the whole Focolare movement which she founded and leads, then it is necessary to publicly repent of it! (see Four Words from Ukraine,www.community.org.ua)
Sect
Many of those who left the Focolare movement give shocking testimonies. The ex-members of Focolare studied the analysis by G.A. Galanti Ph.D. who investigated into the Moon’s sect, a so-called Unification Church (Church of unity), and in their study they came to a conclusion that over 10 different techniques of so-called ‘brainwashing’ are used not only by the Moon’s sect but also by the Focolare movement. These techniques have been described by R. J. Lifton in his book “Study of Brainwashing”.
New Age
The founder of the Focolare movement Chiara Lubich receives the Rotary award of the Tridentine Alto Adige Südtirol 2001. The Rotary Club is closely related with Free Masons. A Rotary representative Mr. Mattarolo says: “We have similar aims… we also want unity” (New City 9/2001).
Which are those similar aims and what kind of unity is it that the Focolare movement and this organization have in common?
In Focolare one comes across a confusion of terms, confusion of truth, confusion of spirit. Because for a false love and unity sin is not called as sin and truth as truth, therefore Jesus cannot be here as the only and exclusive Saviour and the only way to salvation! Here we have to do with a hidden spirit of the New Age inside the Catholic Church.
Warning
The tactics of Focolare is to flee from a direct confrontation with the truth, to mask heresies and by means of phrases and psychological manipulation remove those who point at them. In this covert fight every bishop of the Catholic Church has a responsibility to warn in his diocese against this latent and guileful spirit of Jezebel.
Thereby we are publicly calling the founder of the Focolare movement Chiara Lubich, all bishops, priests, religious as well as believers who are members of this movement, for public repentance!
Be sure to read from THE TRUE FACE OF THE FOCOLARE, Letter to Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church - section B: Focolare rule in the Czech Republic. – it’s a real eye opener!
