RMS in Macau Gains Worldwide Attention
Recently, I posted about the RMS that will be established in Macau. Apparently, it has gained such worldwide attention that it has been in numerous news media. I remember Kiko Arguello once saying that he wanted to bring about 12,000 priests from China into the Catholic Church. With an RMS established in Macau, that could actually happened. After all, there are currently more men in China than women due to China's campaign of killing female babies in the past.As many already know, there are a few junglefolks against having an RMS in Macau. These are basically the same people who opposed Guam RMS. However, do not be discouraged, brothers. The NCW have the support of four popes including Pope Francis. According to a letter by Pope Francis sent to the Neocatechumenal Way dated March 5, 2015:
And today I confirm your call, I support your mission and I bless your charism.Any bishop who opposes the Neocatechumenal Way and the Redemptoris Mater Seminary should bear this in mind: If one is truly in communion with Pope Francis, then one should support what the Pope endorses rather than oppose it. The same goes for the laity. Pope Francis has already expressed his support and given his blessings to the Neocatechumenal Way. Those who do not support what the Pope has blessed and endorsed have placed themselves outside God and His Church. The following article can be found here.

Macau to host new seminary for Asian evangelization
HONG KONG - A new seminary to train priests for all of Asia will open in the Chinese territory of Macau in September.
The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples has entrusted management of the Redemptoris Mater College for Evangelization in Asia to the Neocatechumenal Way, ucanews.com reported.
The seminary was established by a decree signed June 29 by Cardinal Fernando Filoni, congregation prefect, after an audience with Pope Francis.
Filoni told Agenzia Fides, information service of the Pontifical Mission Societies, the college is “the fruit of apostolic creativity that looks to evangelization in that continent and expresses a will of decentralization of the congregation.”
The Neocatechumenal Way has long-standing experience of forming priests for the mission in Asia, he said.
The new college’s “specific nature is to take care of the formation for missionary priests who will have the evangelization in the territories of Asia at heart,” he continued.
The choice of Macau, a former Portuguese colony returned to China in December 1999, is linked to its history as a gateway for Jesuit missionaries such as Matteo Ricci, Francis Xavier and Alessandro Valignano who passed through it before going to China or Japan.
The seminary is being opened in response to St. John Paul II’s 1990 encyclical Redemptoris Mission (“Mission of the Redeemer”), which identifies the Asian continent as a territory where “the Church’s mission ad gentes (to the nations) ought to be chiefly directed.”
It is also a response to the call of Pope Francis, who in his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (“The Joy of the Gospel”) invited the church to “go forth” to always proclaim the Gospel.
Filoni said Macau “has historically represented the door or a bridge for the mission of the Church in the East and as a promoting center for evangelization in the Far East.”
Bishop Stephen Lee Bun-sang of Macau accepted the congregation’s request to host the new college. However, appointments and authority over it will remain the direct prerogative of the congregation.
The Neocatechumenal Way was founded in Madrid, Spain, in 1964. It is estimated there are more than 100 Redemptoris Mater seminaries, 40,000 communities and 1 million members worldwide.
