The Archbishopric of Burgos has indicated that “he has communicated to the National Institute of Social Security” (INSS) that in the accounts he administers of the former religious of the Belorado convent, the pension of a deceased nun two years ago is presumably received, reports Europe Press.
For their part, the former religious have explained that the National Social Security Institute (INSS) entered “by mistake” pensions in the bank accounts corresponding to some of the sisters who had died in the community, although this “irregularity” was corrected “Quickly” by the administration that recovered the “unduly admitted” amounts.
This alleged irregularity was discovered when, when reviewing income in the accounts, a contribution linked to an unknown identity was detected. Sources of the Archbishopric of Burgos acknowledges that the situation “of a deceased nun” was suspected.
As confirmed by the diocese, it is a religious from the convent of Derio, who ended up absorbed by Belorado when that Biscay cenobium closed. That religious had died in April 2022.
The Pontifical Commission in charge of monitoring the accounts of the nuns of the Bretonera convent observed several “bank movements in which a DNI was associated that did not correspond to any of the residents of it.” Now it is up to the State to check if that irregular situation is true.
If finally the social security corroborates that has been making irregular payments, it could lead to the full return of what was received in the accounts of the excrement from May 2022 to today and, according to a legal source, there could be “a penalty of prison” in the case this situation was ratified.
However, an investigation will open to clarify the facts and determine if the community communicated the death of this woman and, in any case, the money that these accounts have received, from the moment in which the archbishop of Burgos has become administrator Pontifice will be returned.
So far, according to a statement from the archbishopric issued last week, the Federation of Clarisas of Our Lady of Our Lady of Aránzazu “has continued to provide funds to deal with the expenses of the monasteries and be able to meet the peremptory obligations” that, in Last December they amounted to 33,681.07 euros.
They reject the diffusion of rumors that demonstrate the “despair of certain ecclesiastics to know that the monastery will never belong to them”
According to the nuns, “no file has been opened”
“It is important to note that no file has been opened or sanctions have been imposed on this situation,” they have highlighted the excrements in a statement collected by Europa Press in response to the “alleged irregularities” denounced by the archbishopric of Burgos, which he had communicated to the INSS that in the accounts administered by the former religious “the pension of a deceased nun two years ago is allegedly.”
However, they have indicated that some pensions continue to enter the community accounts “without reaching their legitimate beneficiaries (the live nuns)”, while assuring “ignoring” the destiny that the archbishop gives to these funds , since the Clarisas sisters have “denied” access to these accounts.
Similarly, the exmonjas have indicated that at this time there is no case that, from the death of the sisters to the current date, social security “has entered pensions in the accounts of the community in the name of some deceased.”
However, they have stressed that to verify it it would be necessary to review the corresponding bank movements, something “impossible due to the archbishop’s refusal to allow access to these accounts.”
In the same statement the sisters of the Monastic Community of Belorado have explained that since June 2024 they have lost control of the open bank accounts in the name of the entity, since they have become managed by the archbishop of Burgos, including those where the pensions of the older sisters are deposited.
“Continuous attacks”
On the other hand, the ex -religious have lamented the “continuous denigration attacks” that they have suffered and that include “unfounded” publications and rumors that link them with activities such as “prostitution, lesbianism, children or secret relationships, alleged crimes, improper collection of pension and the existence of alleged rival abbess. ”
To this are added “negative review campaigns on the Internet from false or recent accounts, the appearance of unauthorized drones and cameras in the environment of the convent, follow -ups in public spaces and cyber attacks to their email accounts.”
In fact, they have explained that the term ‘nuns of Belorado’ is already one of the “most attacked and vilified” of the virtual world, but at the same time it is reaping a “wide number of supporters and followers that grows constantly and unstoppable in the entire territory ”.
The sisters understand that this path “is full of challenges and perceives these attacks as part of the inherent difficulties” to their “vocation and mission.”
For all these reasons, they have “categorically” rejected the dissemination of rumors or “unfounded” information that only demonstrates the “despair of certain ecclesiastical managers to know that the monastery has never belonged to them or belong to them.”
