They<br>are there in a variety of hues and forms all over the world, making<br>perceptible difference. To think of specific instances, there is Focolare,<br>founded in 1943 at Trent in Italy, having more than 5,000,000<br>adherents spread over 182 nations; Neocatechumenal Way had its<br>beginnings in Madrid and has now more than a million followers<br>around the world; the Catholic Charismatic Renewal with its<br>beginnings in the United States in 1967 has touched millions of lives<br>in almost all the countries of the world; there is Opus Dei,<br>Communion & Liberation, Couples for Christ, and host of other<br>movements now flourishing in the Catholic Church, making the<br>Mother Church ever more youthful and leading it to fresh and<br>verdant pastures.</p>}, number={02}, journal={Asian Horizons}, author={Edezhath, Edward A}, year={2010}, month={Dec.}, pages={358–372} }
