There is a fine line between witness and other things, capitalism, socialism, fanaticism.
Most important for gatherings is that they have a sound mystical base.
With this comes a base for asceticism.
Without either, it means what they tend to offset is simply given leverage and a sounding board.
Obtaining inertia is easy when the right people who tap into those who are hurting manage
to become a voice for the marginalised, the oppressed, and most of all those whose witness
is tested to the extreme, particularly poverty-stricken Conservative Orthodox Catholic.,
whose reverence for Sacraments is untarnished.
