A reader of our blog, Enrique R., has questioned us several times in recent days about our persistence in continuing to denounce what happened to the late Buela.
Enrique, perhaps you belong to the younger generations and do not know the past.
Nine years ago, Fr. Carlos Walker, in his capacity as Superior General, received an email from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, which we publish in its entirety below.

In view of the typically cynical attitude of the religious of the IVE to blame the religious who were victims of sexual abuse by Father José María Corbelle, we reproduce here an article originally published by Victoria Cardiel in Aciprensa that illustrates the attitude that the members of the IVE should have when they pastorally accompany the sisters.
The challenge of confronting abuse in consecrated life – in all its dimensions: sexual, power, conscience and also economic – was the focus of the work of the international meeting organized by the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors in Palazzo Maffei Marescotti in Rome.

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.

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.
