Today, different media in Spain echoed the story of the former Sister Fidelis, thus joining many victims around the world who denounce exactly the same thing. Without going any further, in Mendoza, Argentina, the SSVM are on trial for abandonment of person and moral damages of the former Sr. Piaghe, who was also more than 25 years and got sick inside. Today she must face the courts without her superiors having the slightest charity to face the damages they caused. In Spain they interviewed the former Sister Fidelis who had the courage to tell us her story. Here we replicate that of the media “La voz de Galicia”, although the news has been published in different media in Spain.

McCarrick and the IVE: An Uneasy Relationship
On April 3, 2025, former Cardinal Theodore Edgar McCarrick died at the age of 94. His death closes a dark stage in the recent history of the Catholic Church in the United States, but it also invites us to turn our gaze to its protective environment, its network of allies and beneficiaries. Among them, a congregation that our readers know well: the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE), founded by Carlos Miguel Buela in Argentina in 1984.
The relationship between McCarrick and the IVE was not superficial or merely diplomatic. It involved direct financial support, participation in key institutional events, shared accommodation with seminarians. This article compiles public sources to critically examine this alliance.

Decree of suppression of Miles Christi: any resemblance to the IVE/SSVM is purely coincidental
We publish below the decree of suppression of the Miles Christi Institute, issued by the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. As for the diagnosis of the Holy See that led to the suppression of this institute, it would be enough to change “Miles Christi” to “IVE/SSVM” to see what awaits them if they continue to be so obstinate.

SSVM: more hypocrites, impossible
The Mother Co-Redemptrix of the SSVM met last Wednesday in a private audience with Pope Francis to express her dissatisfaction with the visitor appointed by the Vatican. Apparently, the visitor requested space in the generalate to live with her team and assume the functions of government entrusted to her by the Church, which the Mother Co-redemptrix considers an abuse of power.
Obviously, the new administrator wants to work freely. As is public knowledge, the IVE had previously subjected the other commissioners to a series of restrictive actions, checking their correspondence, hacking their computers, listening to their calls and exhausting them to the point that they finished their work quickly just to get out of that situation.
