While reading last news about Bishop Hon Tai Fai and Redemptoris Mater property, I was remembering times when the Episcopal Conference of Japan asked the Way to stop all "evangelization" there.
All of us know Pope Benedict XVI finally intervened promoting an aproach between both partners and the Way was not "expelled". Despite the actual situation in Japan, which I don't know, I consider quite interesting -as always- to have a look at Kiko's words about those facts.
For Advent and Easter, Kiko uses to visit his personal catechumens and gives them an "announcement", which they will give as well to their dependent communities (through the piramidal structure of catechist teams and parishes). I have found the Advent Announcement of 2010, given in Madrid, and his explanation of the problem in Japan in front of his "very top" followers in terms of internal neocat-hierarchy.
