However, behind this fa\u00e7ade of missionary dynamism, numerous testimonies denounce abuses of power, spiritual manipulation, doctrinal rigidity and a sectarian structure that is difficult to reform. <\/p>\n\n<p>The most striking fact: <strong>the Holy See has already appointed six pontifical commissioners<\/strong> to intervene the institute. None of them managed to bring about structural change. <br\/><strong>What real alternatives are left now for the Vatican?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcc8 An artificial growth: &#8220;little flags on the map&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n<p>One of the keys to the growth of the IVE is its <strong>willingness to send staff anywhere in the world<\/strong>, even at the cost of the physical and mental health of its members. This attitude has been celebrated by many bishops in need of vocations, but it has also generated serious consequences. <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;No matter how precarious the training or emotional maturity: you have to be present on all continents.&#8221;<br\/>This seems to be the unwritten internal logic of the IVE.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>This phenomenon has been compared to a game strategy <strong>of T.E.G. (RISK),<\/strong> where the objective is <strong>to multiply &#8220;little flags&#8221; on the world map<\/strong>, without true pastoral discernment or adequate human preparation.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u26a0\ufe0f Six pontifical commissioners\/delegates: an unprecedented event<\/h2>\n\n<p>In the recent history of the Church, very few institutes have had to deal with more than one pontifical commissioner. The IVE has had <strong>six<\/strong>. This is no longer a sign of correction, but <strong>a confirmation of the failure of any attempt at internal reform<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Each commissioner has arrived with full authority, sent directly by the Holy See. Each has been confronted with <strong>resistance, dissimulation, duplicity, disobedience and manipulation<\/strong>. The conclusion seems clear: <strong>the IVE does not want to and cannot change<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f What can the Vatican do now?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 1. Canonical Dissolution of the Institute <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Serious institutional damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inability to reform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of the evangelical sense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c 2. Prohibition of new mimetic foundations <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Moratorium of at least 5 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supervision of foundational activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Control of donations in the diaspora.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udea1 3. Pontifical Center for Reconciliation <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Spiritual and psychological accompaniment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic validation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vocational discernment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal and pastoral support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u26a0\ufe0f The most delicate problem: non-reintegrable priests<\/h2>\n\n<p>Many priests trained by the IVE <strong>cannot be easily integrated into ordinary ecclesial life<\/strong>. After years of closed indoctrination, absolutist obedience and a Manichean vision of the world, many of them <strong>do not recognize any authority other than that of the institute or its internal ideology<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>They often regard those who criticize the IVE as &#8220;instruments of the devil,&#8221; and see all correction as persecution.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2709\ufe0f 1. Clerical State without incardination <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They remain as priests, but without official missions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are not incardinated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They live on the margins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Advantages:<\/strong> it gives time for personal discernment.<br\/><strong>Risks:<\/strong> parallel communities, &#8220;refoundations&#8221; and everything starts again.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2709\ufe0f 2. Dispensation from the clerical state <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pastoral outing for those who cannot integrate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It releases promises and allows lay life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requested or proposed by ecclesial authority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2709\ufe0f 3. Itineraries of deep conversion <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Process accompanied by inner healing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guided by people outside the IVE.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With psychological help and vocational rediscovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67 And what will happen to SSVMs?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The <strong>Servants of the Lord and of the Virgin of Matar\u00e1<\/strong>, the female branch of the IVE, share the same deviations. They replicate a culture of blind obedience, affective isolation and total clerical dependence. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c What is likely to happen:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dissolution of the female branch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prohibition of name, habit and charisma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accompaniment for those who want to continue their vocation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udea1 Necessary measures:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shelters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic validation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Psychological support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free vocational discernment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Many sisters have offered their lives sincerely, but they were deformed by a diseased structure. The Church has the duty to take care of them. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Conclusion: Closing with Truth and Mercy<\/h2>\n\n<p>The IVE is no longer in crisis: it is an irreformable structure, which has caused spiritual, human and ecclesial damage. Dissolution is not a punishment, but <strong>an act of evangelical justice and pastoral protection<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Closing the abortion means:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protect the faithful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reparations to the victims.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Release members in good faith.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevent the sectarian model from being perpetuated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Truth and mercy are not opposed.
