Sažetak

In this work the author speaks about new Church movements explaining how to understand them theologically and pastorally and include them in the life and mission of the Church. Starting from the explication of pneumatological-charismatic reality of the Church itself and every spiritual life, in the first part of the work the author presents the essential guidelines of biblical foundation of the Church’s charismatic reality and gives a brief view on the history of the Holy Spirit's activity in encouraging the charisma. The context considered here is the relation between the two essential gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church: hierarchical and charismatic. Then the author diagnoses the reasons for the developments of the movements themselves giving reference to the situation within the Church and society and sets out the possible causes of such a wide range of new religious movements, wondering if they are the „sings of time“. In the third part the author presents the theological-spiritual and pastoral analysis of Church movements. He considers the reactions of the Church Magisterium and the shepherds, the positive givens, the possible risk and dangers as well as the criteria of differentiation that we are all called for.
