    Rome takes control of the IVE’s communications: an extraordinary measure

    The pontifical intervention of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) has just entered a particularly significant phase. The Pontifical Delegate, Msgr. José Antonio Satué, Bishop of Malaga, has decided to replace the official communication infrastructure of the Institute.

    The old ive.org site is no longer the official website of the IVE. In its place, the Delegate has created verboencarnado.org, which becomes, in his own words, the “only official website” of the Institute.
