| Summary: | The research that is presented examines the political phenomenon represented by the Neocatechumenal Way, a self-entitled movement of a Christian initiative that emerged onto the ecclesiastical scene during the 1960s and which, according to one of its founders, the artist Francisco Gomes-Argüello, is currently present in more than a hundred countries.
