The former nuns of Belorado are now officially, squatters for the Archbishopric of Burgos, which is legally responsible for the civil liability of the convents of Belorado, Derio and Orduña and which this Monday, after four months of conflict, denounced the schismatic nuns in court, demanding their expulsion.
Thus begins a process which, according to sources from the diocese admit to elDiario.es, “will be long and complicated” and which could end with the entry of the Civil Guard into the monastery to forcibly expel the excommunicated nuns. They themselves, in their only reference to the procedure that was activated this week before the Courts of Briviesca, have already announced that, in the event of an eviction resolution, they will not comply with it. That is to say that they would not leave on their own, even with a court decision, and that it would be the forces of public order who would expel them from the convent.
Four months and at least two bishops and three false priests later, the former nuns of Belorado continue to be confined to the monastery without much being known about them, beyond a few rumors. Some sources suggest that the former abbess, Laura Gil de Biedma, contacted a notary in Burgos to obtain guardianship of two of the five main nuns who continue to reside in the convent, but who have not been excommunicated.
This strategy, which uses the oldest nuns as a shield, seeks to break the history of the diocese of Burgos, which ensures that the five oldest nuns do not agree with the schism. Furthermore, if the change of guardianship occurs, the former abbess would control the accounts and pensions of these two women, which would be a respite from the very harsh economic reality that the community is experiencing, practically without help and with a business, that of truffles, in bankruptcy. The nuns’ attempt to register as a civil association and, from there, claim ownership of the convents also failed: the Ministry of the Interior refused registration.
Indeed, the Archbishop of Burgos, appointed pontifical commissioner (responsible) for Belorado by the Vatican, continues to pay the salaries of the dozen workers (tutors, gardeners and guardians of elderly nuns, in a situation of dependency), although the officials have already warned that “at some point” it will be necessary to “regularize this abnormal situation”.
In recent weeks, we have witnessed a significant decline in the ranks of the schismatics with the departure of Sor Paz, the vicar of Belorado, right arm of the ex-abbess, with whom the group of excommunicated women is reduced to nine, in the meantime to know the future of the five older sisters, whose families are following the situation with concern and in silence.
Other relatives of the schismatic nuns began to live with them, as is the case of a worker from the Episcopal Conference, officially on sick leave, and whom some sources place at the origin of a failed operation of sale of chasubles and ecclesial vestments on the Internet, owned by Belorado.
A long and complicated expulsion
What will happen now? Sources close to the process tell elDiario.es that “far from it” this will be the end of the story. First, we will have to wait for whether or not the Briviesca court accepts the lawsuit filed by Iceta for treatment, which could take between two weeks and three months. As this is a court without excessive workload, this step should not take too long.
Once the request is accepted, the corresponding judge must inform the parties, who will be able to formulate their arguments and raise judicial questions. The next step would be to collect the declarations of those interested, a complicated moment, since the former nuns have already announced that they will not participate voluntarily in this process. Once the parties have been heard, the court would issue a resolution approving or denying the eviction. This entire process could take between six months and a year and a half, depending on the sources consulted.
However, the problem does not end there since, once the sentence is pronounced, it can be appealed to the Provincial Court and, where appropriate, to the Supreme Court, before becoming a final sentence. In the same way, after the conviction, the execution order would be issued, which could be stopped by invoking different causes, from the health problems of one of the nuns to, directly, the physical refusal of the former nuns to leave the property, in which case a police action protocol should be issued. It would not be strange, if the former abbess and her supporters do not abandon their attitude, to see the Civil Guard enter Belorado to expel the nuns.
False bishops and twenty priests
In the meantime, various circumstances may arise that should not be overlooked, such as the death or deterioration of health of one of the senior nuns. Added to this is the influence of the new false bishop of Belorado, Rodrigo Henrique Ribeiro da Silva, who this week assured unwavering support for the former nuns, and even announced that he had at least twenty sedevacantist priests ready to travel to Belorado. the convent.
Currently, a fake Argentine priest, former Argentinian journeyman grooming champion and former boxing judge, Sergio Casas, is spiritually caring for the nuns expelled from the Catholic Church. This new “signature” adds to the failed cases of the false bishop De Rojas (author of the “Catholic Manifesto” with which the Poor Clares left the Church of Rome) or of the priest and mixologist José Ceacero, whose clues were lost with the same speed with which they appeared in the small town of Burgos.
Meanwhile, and despite the presentation of the request for expulsion, the Archbishopric of Burgos continues to express “its availability to help on the path of return to ecclesial communion, where they would be welcomed with delicacy and mercy, ‘image of the parable of the prodigal son’. son.
