Vatican tribunals confirm 'moral certainty' of abuse by late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela

Vatican tribunals have definitively established that the late Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) and the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará (SSVM), committed sexual abuse with violence. Both the first-instance and appeals tribunals reached 'moral certainty' of his guilt under Canon 1395 § 2, though no formal sentence was issued because Buela died in 2023. The ruling aims to support the reform of the institutes, which have over 3,000 members in 45 countries, and to address the suffering of victims who were previously marginalized by the organizations.

El-Sayed’s Sharia-Canon Law Comparison Triggers Online Firestorm

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed compared Sharia law to Catholic canon law during Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, saying no one is trying to push Sharia law while sparking online backlash from conservatives who argued Sharia is a broader system and not comparable to canon law; El-Sayed emphasized religious freedom and drew a contrast with Western legal traditions, adding renewed scrutiny of his views in the Michigan race.

Doubts Arise Over the Canonical Status of the Synod of Bishops

As the Synod on Synodality nears its end, some participants are questioning whether it can still be considered a Synod of Bishops since lay members now have voting rights, making up nearly one-fifth of the ballot. This change, announced by Pope Francis in April, aimed to restore the relationship between the common priesthood and the ministerial priesthood. While some observers argue that the inclusion of lay votes undermines the traditional nature of the Synod, others, including Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, believe it enhances the participation of non-bishops and does not diminish the weight of votes. The lack of clarity on this issue has raised concerns among participants, with some describing it as a "canonical and practical problem."

"Pope Francis strengthens Catholic Church's stance on sexual abuse"

Pope Francis has permanently decreed an updated version of Vos estis lux mundi, his landmark legislation to counter sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. The decree extends the Church’s norms for handling abuse to cover lay leaders of international associations of the faithful recognized by the Vatican. The new norms will go into force on April 30 and replace the pope’s previous provisional version of Vos estis lux mundi published nearly four years ago. The norms regard what are called, in canon law, “delicts against the Sixth Commandment of the Decalogue,” consisting of sexual acts with a minor or vulnerable person; forcing someone to perform or submit to sexual acts through violence, threat, or abuse of authority; and the production or possession of child pornography.
