Catholic Cult?

Interesting piece in the Chicago Tribune yesterday. Important note: I know nothing about this group, except what I read in this article. I'm not endorsing or condemning this group (though I do defer to ecclesiastical authorities in such matters). Link [http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0509240204sep24,1,

FOCUS

I had heard of Campus Crusade for Life, a Protestant outreach to colleges and universities, but never of a Catholic equivalent. It turns out there is one: FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). It's eight years old and is active on 25 secular and Catholic campuses, including the
