DUHAU, Juan Bautista. "Other exits": alternatives for faithful members in the face of the decline of new charismatic realities. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2020, vol.47, n.107, pp.106-122.  Epub 10-Abr-2021. ISSN 0120-131X.  https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v47n107.a07.

Charismatic dimension of the Church is determined by traditional associations, Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, as well as by the most recent congregations of believers such as ecclesial movements, new communities, and new possibilities for consecrated life. These organizations are suffering a decline, which occurs within new realities that emerged both before and after Second Vatican Council. All ecclesial organizations of charismatic nature are based on ideals in which the institutional deterioration that damage deep motivations turns out to be quite harmful. New charismatic realities are undergoing a critical moment in their evolution: Some groups experience growth, adaptation or updating issues; some undergo times of routinization of charisma; some go through generational changes; and some other suffer the impact caused by complaints of abuses committed by founders, charismatic leaders, or prominent figures. Based on the views of the economist Albert Hirschman, the purpose of the article is to analyze the behavior of dissatisfied members in the face of the decline of these value-based organizations. It is an exercise that aims at contributing ideas and horizons for renewal and update within charismatic movements.
