  • El IVE, una secta en guerra contra la Iglesia

    El IVE, una secta en guerra contra la Iglesia

    The Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) presents itself as a vigorous movement, full of apostolic zeal and young vocations. But behind this façade, what is hidden is a sect with internal dynamics of manipulation, espionage and collective paranoia.

    A permanent conflict with Rome

    For decades, the Vatican has tried to curb the abuses of this group with control measures, restrictions and apostolic visitations. And each time, the IVE responds with the same strategy: not obedience, but resistance. Not evangelical humility, but open war. A constant confrontation disguised as heroism, in which the internal slogan is clear: “everyone wants to close us down”. This siege mentality is typical of cults: permanent victimhood, imaginary enemies and an identity built on confrontation.

    The Incarnate Word Against Rome: The Fraud of the Deferred Novitiate

    When the Holy See forbade the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) to admit new novices, it was not a minor gesture: it was an extreme measure in the face of the abuses, totalitarian control and psychological manipulation that weigh on this congregation. The message was unequivocal: without novitiates, there are no new religious.

    Institute of the Incarnate Word, too big to fail?

    In the world of finance, the expression too big to fail is used to describe those institutions whose magnitude is such that their fall could drag down the entire system. It is usually applied to corrupt or poorly managed entities that, despite their faults, are kept standing because their collapse would have even more serious consequences. But what happens when this logic is applied, silently, within the Catholic Church?

    The Incarnate Word in Mendoza: vandalism, impunity and contempt for the rules

    Once again, the facts speak for themselves. The recent episode denounced in Mendoza, where members of the Institute of the Incarnate Word would have vandalized a nature reserve, constitutes further proof of this attitude of contempt for the rules, that conviction that no rule applies to them and that they are above all law, whether civil or ecclesiastical.

    Anthony del Castillo case: finally an official declaration from the diocese of La Rochelle!

    The diocese of La Rochelle (in the department of Charente-Maritime, France) gave in to media pressure and finally issued an official statement about Father Anthony del Castillo, more than a month after our publication!

    On the other hand, to have an official publication of the Institute of the Incarnate Word, we will have to wait, and wait, and wait…

    The text of the press release below:

    Today, August 20, 2025, the website “Catholic Response” published a statement implicating a priest of the Institute of the Incarnate Word, Father Anthony Del Castillo, for suspicion of abuse of power that led to sexual relations with a potentially vulnerable 18-year-old girl.

  • Personal successes vs. institutional failures in the IVE/SSVM

    Personal successes vs. institutional failures in the IVE/SSVM

    One of the most frequent strategies of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) is to appropriate the achievements of its members and, at the same time, dissociate itself from their failures. When a priest or religious does a positive work, the Institute boasts of it as if it were irrefutable proof of the goodness of his charism and his system of formation. On the other hand, when scandals or serious falls appear, the official discourse insists that they are personal weaknesses, individual sins, without any connection to the institution.

  • Father Antony del Castillo (IVE): sent to Peru after sex scandal, reappears on Instagram as if nothing had happened

    Father Antony del Castillo (IVE): sent to Peru after sex scandal, reappears on Instagram as if nothing had happened

    A few weeks ago we reported on the scandal involving Father Antony del Castillo, a priest of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE), who had relations with a young woman of just 18 years of age in the framework of a summer oratory organized by the Servants of the Lord and of the Virgin of Matará (SSVM) in Jonzac.

    At that time, the Institute reacted by urgently transferring the priest to Peru, in what seemed to be a disciplinary and preventive measure. However, reality shows another side.

    A video on Instagram from Peru

    Antony del Castillo himself recently posted on his Instagram account a video recorded from Peru, showing himself relaxed, speaking in French, without alluding at all to the scandal that motivated him to be evacuated from France. The publication has caused outrage among those who know the case, as it shows that there is no real sanction or recognition of the seriousness of the facts.

    Sex scandal: Father Antony del Castillo (IVE), priest of the Institute of the Incarnate Word, is urgently transferred to Peru

    Recently, a serious case involving Father Antony del Castillo, a priest belonging to the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE), has come to light. According to various sources, Castillo’s father would have had sexual relations with an 18-year-old girl, in circumstances that point to a possible exploitation of a vulnerable adult.

    The sexual relations would have occurred in the context of the summer oratory, organized by the congregation of the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará in Jonzac (Diocese of La Rochelle, in France), where the reported events took place.
