It's been a while since JW broke ONE MILLION pageviews in a single month, but that's what happened in May.
In case you're wondering what people are looking for or looking at. Here are the most viewed posts for the last 30 days:
The 2014 post about the removal of Msgr. James, as Rector of the Cathedral, is normally in the top ten every month. However, this is the first time this month's top story is the top story, even though it's a post from 11 years ago.
The only thing that I can think of that's driving this sort of traffic is the frantic Neocat push to get Carmen Hernandez canonized. Story here.
It's easy to assume that the push is coming from Kiko himself, who, no doubt, is desirous of being similarly canonized, and quickly, upon his passing.
Such canonizations would seal the future for the Neocatechumenal Way as a major force in the Church for a very long time, as if it isn't already.
But why would potential canonizations for either Carmen or Kiko be drawing such viewership to JW, especially since JW hasn't been exactly complimentary to them?
Well, that's probably exactly why. All canonization processes have a "devil's advocate," someone specifically tasked with uncovering dirt and challenging the canonization.
And, as probably nowhere else in the world, the dirty inner workings of the thing that Kiko and Carmen created have been exposed here in Guam, the most significant of which is their devious protection and continued hiding of an archbishop found guilty of molesting minors by the Vatican itself.
Perhaps there will be a site where individuals harmed by the NCW can voice their experience?
ReplyDeleteInitially it could be just to add a number eg. I experienced sexual abuse. Or lost my priesthood, had marital breakdown, had suicide in family, had spiritual abuse, +++
The numbers could be added up & published as a total.
The there is l the shenaigins & dishonesty. Parish funds misappropriated!
Camen's cause has just emerged from the diocesan phase, but also "the Way" has just celebrated its 60th anniversary. Both could account for the increase in views.

ReplyDeleteCardinal Farrell and other corrupt prelates are on the payroll of Kiko and Carmen's Community.. As Vicar General, Farrell claimed total ignorance of Theodore McCarrick’s systemic abuses. Yet, the two shared an apartment for years—a contradiction that strains all credibility

And of course, McCarrick holed up in an RMS after he was outed.
DeleteIn the year 2000 Kiko called a meeting on the Mount of Beatitudes, N of the Sea of Galilee near Chorazin. aprox 40k neocats and local Arab Christians attended. The authorities were going to prevent attendance as it had been raining for days and the site was muddy and slippery. Pope JP2 arrived to open Kiko's newly built Domus Galilei. The rain stopped and the meeting went ahead. All was fine UNTIL JP2 left! Kiko tried to take control of the stage but it appears that god had other plans! The heavens opened and the deluge was so great the event was called off! Unlikely God would do this to one of his saints?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the story. The Domus thing is a real scandal.
DeleteIt's a good thing that Kiko and Co. are forwarding the process for the Canonization of Carmen. Thus they will be unduely drawing attention to their deceitful , disobedient acts and the abuse of their members on all fronts - spiritual, psychological, sexual, and financial.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that it is really amazing what they have been able to get away with, but then I remembered who's running our church.
