The Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 1 of Briviesca has accepted the eviction lawsuit against the former nuns of Belorado for processing. As reported by the Archdiocese of Burgos in a statement, it also extends against people who lack “legal title and authorization” to remain in the monastery premises. This refers to the new bishop fake of the congregation, Rodrigo da Silva, and his entourage who recently settled in the convent, as reported by Religión Digital.
The court gives ten days to respond to the lawsuit and gives the possibility of holding a hearing on December 19, 2024. Likewise, it sets January 23, 2025 for the launch, in the event that the plaintiffs do not appear. The Civil Guard will have to identify the people who occupy the property, in addition to the ex-nuns themselves.
The abbess of the Monastery of Santa Clara de Belorado broke with the Church to pass under the guardianship of Pablo de Rojas and his ‘Pía Unión Sancti Pauli Apostoli’, whose founder was excommunicated in 2019, but they remained locked up in the convent of Las Clarisas de Belorado . The number of ex-nuns has been reduced in recent days, going from the ten excommunicated to only seven, after the departure of Sister Paz, and the most recent of Sister Adriana, who left the convent days ago to go live with her family.
The five older nuns who live in the monastery would be exempt from having to leave the facilities, since, as they have pointed out, “they properly constitute the monastic community of Belorado and legally reside in the monastery.”
The Federation of Poor Clares of Our Lady of Aránzazu has planned immediate attention to the older sisters in the Belorado Monastery itself, displacing sisters from other monasteries, as long as the former nuns do not prevent their access.
