    The Challenge of New Religious Movements - Cults for Christianity at Large and the Catholic Church in Particular
    (Tangaza University College, 2002-02) Rupar, Dariusz
    This essay "The challenge of New Religious Movements — Cults for the Christianity at Large and the Catholic Church in Particular" draws from my pastoral experience, which has nourished my interests in the phenomena of cults. Why did I choose this topic? Vatican II challenged the Catholic Church to listen to the signs of the times.4 Surely, New Religious Movements are part of this new reality for Christianity. We should go beyond the negative attitudes that are usually formed by Christians of the mainstream churches. We must discover what the Holy Spirit tries to tell us through the activity of these new religious movements. The Catholic Church needs to confirm its position in the face of this new phenomena. I would like to make a contribution to this debate.
