Constant movement in the Belorado monastery. While the former Poor Clares seem to get tired of the ridiculous schism and leave the monastery in a slow trickle, the sedevacantist bishop Rodrigo Da Silva has left his ‘prosperous’ Brazilian community to settle in Belorado and have his photo taken in front of the ex-nuns together with a singular cohort that resembles a mocking imitation of the photo of ‘The Holy Innocents’, with Paco ‘the bass’, Azarias and ‘the girl girl’ included.
The images, distributed on the social networks of the Seminário São José, the entity founded by Da Silva, show the bishop celebrating the Eucharist by the traditional rite in the monastery chapel, some moments of the blessing of the few faithful participants and a ‘ family portrait’, in which Da Silva and two priests, surrounded by their particular parish, They pose before the nuns, who are grouped behind the fence, in the cloistered area. The curious thing is that behind the grille there are only seven nuns, when those who started the schism in May, and for this reason ended up excommunicated, were ten.
The departure of the former vicar general, known as Sister Paz in her life as a nun, was known this summer. Furthermore, when they hired a new press officer, it was learned that there were 13 nuns left in the monastery, in two groups, “five retired, between 86 and 100 years old,” who were not excommunicated because they never participated in the schism, and ” eight between 32 and 58 years old”, those who led the schism and were excommunicated on June 22. As ABC has been able to verify, from monastery sources, the other excommunicated sister who left the monasteryis Adriana Gil Altares, who did not change her name when taking her vows and was known in her religious period as Sister Adriana.
However, in the photo that they now share, one of those remaining eight is missing, although the nuns’ spokesperson has not been able to confirm whether she has also left the monastery or was not present at that time. «They are nuns of the 21st century, they are very prepared and they are also suffering a lot. I see it as a ‘Big Brother’, the people are becoming strongerthe most charismatic, people of race,” he explains to us while he undertakes to find out the reason for the absence of this former religious.
The photo is of very low quality and the faces of the nuns are barely visible, but at first glance it seems that the missing person may be the former abbess, Laura García de Viedma. The presence in the monastery of the formerly known as Sister Isabel has always been surrounded by a certain mystery and confusion. As ABC learned at the time, from those who dealt with her before the schism became public, She is a woman with a very irascible character, and she was not easy to locate in the convent.. The excommunicated bishop Pablo Rojas also confirmed it to this newspaper and added that “he used to miss mass a lot” during the time he was the spiritual assistant. “She does strange things, she is awake until the wee hours of the morning,” he added.
Aside from this doubt, in the photograph appears, along with the sedevacantist bishop Da Silva, the Argentine priest Jesús Casas Silva, ordained in the Catholic Church but now renounces it and has accepted the communion contrary to the postulates of the Second Vatican Council and? denies the legitimacy of all popes since Pius XII. Casas Silva has taken charge of the spiritual assistance of the monastery since this summer, awaiting the arrival of the bishop.
In fact, the social networks of the Sedevacantist bishop announced a month ago that “on October 30, Don Rodrigo da Silva will say goodbye to his stay in Mexico to settle in Spain and develop a new apostolate there,” which is why he has been in our country since the past. November 1st. It didn’t take long for him to be seen in Beloradoalthough in his message it was said that his intention was to serve “at first the areas of Madrid and Valencia, although Galicia and Portugal are being studied as future mass centers.”
It was not missing from the statement either. a constant that has been repeated by all the protagonists of this crisis: asking for money. The São José Seminário made a call to raise financial funds because, as they explained, “the cost of this move is not low.” In addition, they also urged that those “in the Iberian Peninsula who are interested in being assisted, organize groups and contact us.” Judging by the scarce presence of faithful in the images, it does not seem that the message of Sedvacantism is going to penetrate Iberia.
