THE CATHOPULT CODE
Cathopult is not just a spiritual path, but a style of conduct.
A style that makes it visible
that someone has entrusted themselves to Mary
and truly wants to walk the path.
This style is clear, focused, reliable –
without harshness, without pressure,
but with an inner determination
that can be felt.
Commitment
We give our word – and we stand by it.
Leaders, priests, assistants, participants:
everyone plays their part.
Not perfect, but reliable.
For spiritual growth requires faithfulness,
not mood.
Reliability
We are where we are supposed to be.
We appear punctually.
We maintain the rhythm.
We take the 20 minutes seriously.
Those who lead, lead clearly.
Those who follow, follow sincerely.
Focus
We do few things –
but we do them completely.
No distraction.
No unnecessary paths.
Cathopult thrives on simplicity,
not complexity.
Clarity
We do not speak in a fog.
We do not act in vagueness.
We know what we are doing,
why we are doing it,
and to whom we entrust it:
Mary.
Fighting Spirit Without Harshness
We fight –
but not against each other.
We fight against lethargy,
against excuses,
against spiritual slumber.
With courage,
with gentleness,
with a heart
that burns, but does not burn out.
The Style of Cathopult
A style that sustains.
A style that forms.
A style that makes breakthroughs possible.
Because it comes from total self-giving.
Because it is supported by the Church.
Because it is led by Mary.
BOUNDARY LINES FOR RETREAT LEADERS
Cathopult allows freedom – but only within a clear framework.
Leaders may adapt templates, breathing life, a personal touch, and pastoral preferences into them.
Yet there are boundaries that must never be crossed.
1. No teaching outside the Church
The retreats are grounded in Catholic doctrine.
TABOO: personal theories, separate paths, spiritual experiments.
2. No messages outside of Church-approved apparitions
The approved messages are perfectly sufficient:
Guadalupe (1531) – Rue du Bac (1830) – La Salette (1846) – Lourdes (1858) – Fatima (1917)
Everything else leads to lack of clarity, distraction, or a spirit of sensationalism.
TABOO: private revelations, unverified sources, speculative end-time interpretations.
3. No mixing with esoteric or psychologizing methods
Cathopult is spiritual, not esoteric.
It is clear, not blurred.
TABOO: energy work, “techniques” without an ecclesiastical basis.
4. No harshness, no pressure, no manipulation
We lead – we do not force.
We call – we do not urge.
TABOO: moral pressure, imagery of fear, overwhelming demands.
5. No self-promotion
The leader is an instrument, not the center.
Mary leads – not man.
TABOO: self-promoters, seeking a profile, spiritual pride.
6. No deviation from the 20-minute principle
The power lies in brevity, clarity, and repetition.
TABOO: excessive sessions, overloading, “more is better.”
7. No unreliability
Leaders bear responsibility.
Reliability is part of the spiritual style.
TABOO: short-term cancellations, unpunctuality, lack of preparation.
The Core
Leaders may shape, color, breathe, and adapt –
but never leave the framework
that is tested by the Church,
given by Mary,
and clearly set by Cathopult.
