Ex-Cdl. McCarrick funneled $1 million to homopredator ally's order

An ultra-conservative religious congregation, sanctioned by Pope Francis when he was cardinal primate of Argentina, is covering up the sexual crimes of its Argentine founder who died in Genoa on Sunday.

The Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE), which operates in 44 countries, airbrushed out the serial homosexual predations of Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela on its multiple websites when it announced that the founder had "died completely surrendered to the holy will of God."

…

The Vatican's Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life, which opened an investigation into Buela in 2010, admitted to the serial abuse of seminarians.

In 2010, following its investigation of Buela, the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life issued a decree expressly finding that Buela had engaged in misconduct with adult seminarians.

Clarifying that "no cases of minors have been ascertained so far," the Vatican removed Buela as IVE superior general and ordered him to reside separately from IVE members in a French monastery.

"It's like feeling that your father is violating you. You can't resist," explained Luis Maria de la Calle, an Argentinian who was abused by a deacon in the IVE minor seminary at the age of 12 and turned whistleblower against Buela.

Calle was ordained a priest in 2010 and asked Pope Francis to dispense him from the priesthood in 2017, noting that he had suffered "20 years of psychological manipulation in the order." The Vatican confirmed 20 counts of abuse by Buela.
