Ex-nuns looking for money, others in a vulnerable situation and a complaint: a difficult eviction is being planned in Belorado

The former nuns of Belorado are now, officially, squatters for the Archbishopric of Burgos, who is legally responsible for the civil responsibility of the convents of Belorado, Derio and Orduña and who this Monday, after four months of conflict, denounced the schismatic nuns before the courts, demanding their eviction.

Thus begins a process that, according to sources from the diocese admit to elDiario.es, “will be long and complicated” and that could conclude with the Civil Guard entering the monastery to forcibly expel the excommunicated nuns. They themselves, in their only reference to the procedure that was activated this week before the Briviesca Courts, already announced that, in the event of an eviction resolution, they would fail to comply. That is: they would not leave on their own, not even with a court ruling, and it would have to be the forces of public order who evicted them from the convent.

Four months and at least two bishops and three false priests later, the former nuns of Belorado continue to be quartered in the monastery without much being known about them, beyond some rumors. Some sources suggest that the former abbess, Laura Gil de Biedma, has contacted a notary in Burgos to obtain guardianship of two of the five senior 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 story of the diocese of Burgos, which assures 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 aid and with a business, that of truffles. , bankrupt. The nuns’ attempt to register as a civil association and, from there, claim ownership of the convents also failed: the Ministry of the Interior denied registration.


In fact, the archbishop of Burgos, appointed pontifical commissioner (responsible) of Belorado by the Vatican, continues to pay the salaries of the dozen workers (guardians, gardeners and caretakers of the elderly nuns, in a situation of dependency), although those responsible have already They have warned that “at some point” it will be necessary to “regularize this anomalous situation.”

In recent weeks there has been a significant drop in the ranks of the schismatics with the departure of Sor Paz, the vicar of Belorado, right hand of the ex-abbess, with which the group of excommunicated women is reduced to nine, waiting to know the future of the five older nuns, whose families follow the situation with concern, and in silence.

Other relatives of the schismatic nuns have begun to live with them, as is the case of a worker from the Episcopal Conference, officially on medical leave, and whom some sources place behind a failed operation to sell chasubles and ecclesial vestments on the internet, property of Belorado.

A long and complicated eviction

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 the Briviesca Court to accept or not accept the lawsuit filed by Iceta for processing, something that could take between two weeks and three months. As this is a court without an excessive workload, this step is not expected to take too long.

Once the claim is accepted, the corresponding judge must notify the parties, who will be able to formulate their arguments and raise judicial questions. The next step would be to take statements from the interested parties, a complicated moment, since the former nuns have already announced that they will not voluntarily participate in this process. Once the parties have been heard, the court would issue a resolution endorsing or denying the eviction. This entire process could take between six months and a year and a half, according to the sources consulted.

However, the problem does not end there because, once the sentence is issued, it can be appealed before the Provincial Court and, where appropriate, before the Supreme Court, before becoming a final sentence. In the same way, after the sentence, the execution order would be issued, which could be stopped citing different causes, from 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 would have to be decreed. It would not be strange, if the former abbess and her followers do not abandon their attitude, to see the Civil Guard entering Belorado to remove the nuns from there.

False bishops and about twenty priests

Meanwhile, various circumstances may arise that should not be disregarded, such as the death or worsening of the health of one of the senior nuns. Added to this are the influences 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 priests at his disposal. Sedevacantists willing to travel to the convent.


At the moment, a false Argentine priest, former Argentine mate preparation champion and former boxing judge, Sergio Casas, spiritually cares for the nuns expelled from the Catholic Church. This new ‘signing’ 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 the priest and mixologist José Ceacero, whose clues have been lost with the same speed with which they appeared in the small town of Burgos.

Meanwhile, and despite presenting the demand for eviction, the Archbishopric of Burgos continues to express “its willingness to help on the path of return to ecclesial communion, where they would be welcomed with delicacy and mercy, in the image of the parable of the prodigal son.” .
