HELD AT CASTEGANDOLFO ????
The Pope's summer residence?
Here is a picture of the participants in the Synthesis Dialogues which were held at Castegandolfo, June 4 to 7, 2004.
Why are Focolare and Bro. Wayne Teasdale part of this?
This is an interreligious dialogue effort of The Association for Global New Thought. The link below the picture takes you to their website.
Click the leaders link on the left and you get a webpage naming them and listing their credentials, including New Ager Barbara Marx Hubbard, and four ordained women. There are Unity Church people in there and Religious Science people in there. None of these leaders belong to denominational religions.
The Alphabetical listing of Synthesis Dialogue Members includes New Ager Joan Borysenko, and Jean Houston.
The leader, Barbara Fields, is Barbara Fields Bernstein, a member of the Board of Directors of Hubbard's Foundation for Conscious Evolution. According to their website:
The initiatives of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution offer a context and container for connecting and empowering the vast global movement arising for positive change, making the efforts of this movement visible to engender greater awareness, coherence and synergy....
The Foundation for Conscious Evolution is helping to build a new path--a "golden bridge"--to the next stage of human evolution.
What does that mean?
According to the website:
Barbara Fields Bernstein, Director: Currently serves as Executive Director of the Association for Global New Thought and Co-Director of Synthesis Dialogues with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. She was the Program Director for the 1993 Parliament of the World’s Religions and Projects Director for Gandhi-King: A Season for Non-violence.
The Pope approves of this? One would certainly get that impression from the involvement of Focolare and the location.
What does that say about Benedict XVI? Something is wrong here. This is not a Catholic effort for interreligious dialogue. This is the formation of a new religion.
Apparently the Dalai Lama stayed in the Pope's quarters.
(There will be a small welcoming committee, but no formal activities are scheduled for His Holiness upon his arrival so that he can rest).
His Holiness and entourage are housed in private, secure apartment—special quarters for Pope on visits to palace. {nid 4T}
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
