    What can the Vatican do about the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE)?

    After six pontifical interventions, dissolution seems inevitable

     

    🔶 Introduction

    The Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE), founded in Argentina in 1984, has expanded rapidly throughout the world. However, behind this façade of missionary dynamism, numerous testimonies denounce abuses of power, spiritual manipulation, doctrinal rigidity and a sectarian structure that is difficult to reform.

    The most striking fact: the Holy See has already appointed six pontifical commissioners to intervene the institute. None of them managed to bring about structural change.

    Sectarian drifts: document of the French Bishops’ Conference

    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.

    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.
