The three most powerful ultratraditionalist movements in the Catholic Church are engaging in mysterious initiation ceremonies, using brainwashing techniques involving ego destruction, moral and spiritual intimidation, and dangerous psychotherapeutic practices on members and parishioners. This circle of power within the church, according to former member Gordon Urquhart, is hard at work creating the pope's "armada."
In a narrative that will shock, horrify, and enlighten all who follow the Catholic church, The Pope's Armada exposes the bizarre agendas of the "Focolare," "Communion and Liberation," and "Neocatechumenate" movements, which have a total world membership of 30 million. With the strong support of Pope John Paul II, these self-contained personality cults are task-forces for a crusade of extreme right-wing values.
A former top-level Focolare leader, Urquhart draws on interviews with current and ex-members, top-secret documentation, and his own experiences and research to reveal the mafia-style underworld of these organizations. The Pope's Armada depicts a potent, sinister force at work which may just be John Paul II's most enduring legacy.

X, 480 p., Gr.-8°, O-Hardcover with Jacket "Secret initiation ceremonies, brainwashing, agressive proseltizing, ego-destruction, and moral and spiritual intimidation are regarded as the classic marks of cults. Yet these practices are occurring today within ultrarightist Catholic organizations that have the full blessing of several prominent members of the Church hierarchy and the pope himself. While membership in traditional ecclesial institutions, including religious orders, continues to dwindle, these 'secret societies' of lay members, a church within a church, that have pledged fanatical devotion to a charismatic founder, are enjoying spectacular growth. The three most prominent, Focolare, Communion and Liberation, and the Neocatechumenate, though all headquartered in Italy, claim a total worldwide membership of 30 million. These groups are ompletely self-contained, with their own priests, bishop-members, special rites, and official ublications." (Cover text). - With bibliography and index. - Good copy.
