“The express and public renunciation of abandonment of the Catholic Church would place them, by free and personal decision, on the margins of the ecclesial communion.

As detailed by the Archbishopric of Burgos, “the collaboration of a professional office will be requested for the administration of the Monasteries and their assets and will be responsible for carrying out an audit and an inventory. Likewise, if necessary, we will have the help of professional legal services firms, in civil, tax or criminal matters.”

In the statement, it is also recalled that “the Monasteries, their properties and assets are ecclesiastical assets and belong to the community as a legal entity, not to its members as natural persons” and that “if the suppression of the Monasteries, for not being able to comply with what is established in the Instruction on the contemplative life (called A Praying Heart), all their assets would remain within the scope of the Federation of the Poor Clare Sisters of Our Lady of Aránzazu, in accordance with its statutes.
