Abstract

This article presents some of the difficulties of modern Church movements such as theological reductionism, elitism, abuse of charisms etc. In response to these pastoral challenges they oppose the guidelines of the Magisterium of the Church, especially in the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and then from other Churche documents that emphasize the participation of the laity in society and in the Church. These guidelines can serve as criteria for the evaluation of the Church movements, as well as pastoral models to overcome these tensions. The real nature of Church movements is manifested through the responsibility, loyalty, unity and love.
