  • Hypocrisy: A Mask of Virtue

    Hypocrisy: A Mask of Virtue

    We know that hypocrisy is a term used to describe the attitude of someone who says one thing but does another. As St. Thomas Aquinas mentions, he defines it as “a kind of fraud, which consists in feigning a virtue or a piety that one does not have” (II-II. Q.111.a1). This leads us to reflect on the authenticity and coherence between our words and actions.

    In this sense, today we see religious and priests of the IVE praying for Pope Francis, a gesture that may seem to be one of charity and respect. However, there is a historical context that may change our perspective. The relationship between Cardinal Bergoglio and the founder, Carlos Buela, was one of enmity during his stay in Argentina.

  • Domínguez case: hiding the truth is an act of manipulation; The end does not justify the means

    Domínguez case: hiding the truth is an act of manipulation; The end does not justify the means

    Recently, the resignation of Bishop Domínguez in San Rafael, Mendoza, who held the position of bishop in one of the most important places for the Institute of the Incarnate Word and the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará, has been announced. In this diocese the founding house and most of the convents are concentrated, in addition to being a close friend of the members of the Word. His sudden resignation, without farewells or notification to his clergy, has generated a stir in the diocese.

    According to direct sources, days before his departure, he was formally denounced in the diocese for improper touching of young people, invitations to nudist beaches and other inappropriate behavior.

  • Chain of cover-ups

    Chain of cover-ups

    I am Luis María de la Calle; I suffered sexual abuse in the minor seminary of the IVE when I was 12 years old. I denounced everything that happened to the former bishop of San Rafael, Msgr. Taussig, who did the right thing. But I had to present the complaint on my own, I directly to the diocesan bishop, since this duty of the superiors of the IVE in the person of the late Buela and the unpresentable current rector of the same minor seminary in which I suffered the abuse, Fr. Gabriel Zapata, was not done at the time.

  • Is the bishop of San Rafael resigning?

    Is the bishop of San Rafael resigning?

    After receiving a complaint of sexual harassment of several young people with indecent touching and obscene invitations, Monsignor Carlos María Domínguez, bishop of San Rafael, is about to resign from his position.

    Let us remind our readers in remote areas that San Rafael is the episcopal see where the IVE was founded in 1984 and the SSVM in 1988.

    Now you can understand why he was so wide with the IVE in recent times… and he took the opportunity to spend time in the seminaries of the IVE with the joyful young vocations.

    Moral:

    We advise parents to open the eyes of their children before entering these religious congregations, since the minimum protections that exist in other institutions do not exist here.

    Former SSVM nun affected: “They held me against my will and destroyed me psychologically”

    A woman who spent 20 years in the IVE tells IDEAL her story and how they “manipulate” the devotees to obtain donations

    Aurora, not her real name, was only 16 years old when a priest at the Institute of the Incarnate Word urged her to run away from her parents’ home in Brazil to start the novitiate. His family did not want him to make such a drastic decision at that young age, but one night he fled to Argentina with the priest.

    Diario Ideal de Granada (Spain): “A congregation intervened by the Vatican, under suspicion in Granada”

    We reproduce here the article by IDEAL de Granada, published on February 5, 2025. The authors are Pilar García-Trevijano and M. Victoria Cobo.

    GRENADE. The Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) is a religious order of Argentine origin, ultra-Catholic and critical of the current leadership of the Church that landed in Granada in 2010. The previous archbishop, Francisco Javier Martínez, authorized them to manage the parish of Santo Ángel Custodio del Zaidín and the adjoining parish house at a time when there is a lack of vocations to keep the temples open. His activity in the province had gone unnoticed by those outside the temple until a few months ago. Some parishioners have denounced the order and one of its priests to the Archbishopric for alleged abuses of power, improper handling of money, manipulation or the practice of esoteric rites and exorcisms without permission.

  • Sectarian characteristics. Part 1: From “love bombing” to total abandonment: a manipulative practice in the IVE and SSVM

    Sectarian characteristics. Part 1: From “love bombing” to total abandonment: a manipulative practice in the IVE and SSVM

    One of the most disturbing practices observed in the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) and the Servants of the Lord and of the Virgin of Matará (SSVM) is the dynamic of “love bombing” during recruitment, followed by a total abandonment of those who decide to leave the institute. This strategy, typical of organizations with sectarian dynamics, illustrates how they emotionally manipulate people to ensure their loyalty, while dehumanizing those who choose to step aside.

    Love bombing: the initial trap

    In the recruitment process, both the IVE and the SSVM display intense emotional attention towards new applicants. This practice involves bombarding them with praise, affection, and promises, creating an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance. Aspirants are persuaded that they have been “chosen by God” and that their vocation is a unique and inalienable calling.
