CWN Editor's Note: A Vatican investigator appointed to supervise reforms in the Institute of the Incarnate Word has complained that he is “encountering strong resistance,” and issued a clear warning: “It would be a pity if the resistance to recognize mistakes were to spoil the great good that has been done.”
Bishop José Satué said that the Institute, founded in 1984 in Argentina, must “recognize the harm caused by some of its members and certain dynamics...that do not reflect the style of Jesus Christ.” The group has been the target of inquiries since its founder, Father Carlos Buela, was found guilty of inappropriate conduct with adults and ordered by the Vatican to leave the group and live in isolation in Italy.
