The Archbishopric Of Burgos Excommunicates The Nuns Of Belorado From The Catholic Church

BURGOS CASTILLA Y LEON, SPAIN - JUNE 24: The secretary of the Federation of the Poor Clare Sisters of Our Lady of Arantzazu, Sister Carmen Ruiz, arrives at a press conference, on 24 June, 2024 in Burgos, Castilla y Leon, Spain. The legal services of the Archbishopric of Burgos have decided to excommunicate from the Catholic Church the ten nuns who have occupied the monastery of Belorado in the face of the repeated denial of the last popes of Rome. These ten nuns belong to the fifteen that were part of the community of Poor Clares. The other five nuns who still remain inside the monastery are no longer an active part of the community, so the Archbishopric has decided to leave them out of this collective excommunication.
