The founder of the Emmanuel community interpreted Vatican Council II irrationally and so his concept of mission and evangelization is Christocentric without being ecclesiocentric.

 

The Emmanuel Community is a Catholic Lay International Community that brings together faithful that share a common call to strive for holiness and commit themselves to actively live their faith in their daily lives through adoration, compassion and evangelization; thus, fulfilling their call as the first believers did who had “only one heart and one soul!” (Acts 4:32).

The Emmanuel Community was born out of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in 1972. It started with a prayer meeting in Paris with Pierre Goursat and Martine Laffitte-Catta and grew quickly in France and around the world.

In 1992, the Holy See recognised that the Emmanuel Community acts for the common good of the whole Catholic Church. As a Public Association of the Faithful, it brings together priests, consecrated men and women, families and single people who testify to the ecclesiology of communion encouraged by the Second Vatican Council. In 2017, this call to live the complementarity of the states of life for the new evangelisation led the Congregation for the Clergy to erect the Clerical Association of the Emmanuel Community (gathering priests and deacons). It is indissolubly linked to the Association of Faithful.

The founder of the Emmanuel community interpreted Vatican Council II irrationally and so his  concept of mission and evangelization is Christocentric without being ecclesiocentric. It is the same for the rest of the Catholic Church. This is a break with the traditional ecclesiology of the Catholic Church in France.

It is the same with Chiara Lubich’s Focolare Movement, Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity, Andrea Riccardi’s Sant Egidio community, Chiara Amirante’s Nuovi Orrizonti, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement...

The Emmanuel community  works in parishes in France and has courses on the Catholic faith. They need to ask the Archbishop of Paris and the Nuncio there, among others, to interpret Vatican Council II rationally. In this way the Catholic Church returns to traditional mission. This is mission based upon ther being exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church. Then Vatican Council II, can still be accepted but it will be interpreted rationally. It can then only support the past exclusivist ecclesiology and the old Roman Missal. -Lionel Andrades
