Yeah it's pretty diabolical, it's been 30 years and numerous reports of children being turned against their parents (a tactic typical of cults) The reports also learned that they were trafficking children (they were removing minor children from the area where their families lived and removing them to far-away areas or different countries). Civil authorities in two nations condemned Heralds for cнιℓd тrαffιcking .
I've linked two docuмents from the Vatican stating they should stop teaching and send minors back to families
They are in Portuguese the PDFs but it would be good if someone who knew Portuguese proficiently could translate them
This is the first one. I put it through a translation machine and made some adjustments.
The text is somewhat strange. It might be a translation from another language, probably Italian.
Most Reverend Eminence,
We received your official letter through which you communicate to us some
information regarding the three entities grouped under the name of Heralds of
Gospel. We sincerely thank you.
As requested, we have attached the decree that appoints
formally as your Assistant, the Reverend Father Evaldo Gomez, O. Carm.,
chosen by you as your Delegate to the male Society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli.
Furthermore, this Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life
and Societies of Apostolic Life - after consulting the Dicastery for
the Laity, Family and Life - and obtaining the approval of Holy Father Francis,
communicates the following:
— in the light of information received by the Apostolic See;
— taking into account the numerous communications sent by the parents
of children and young people in the orbit of the Associacio Arautos do
Gospel, in which they lament that families of origin are, most of the time, excluded from their children's lives, and that contacts with the parents are not sufficiently guaranteed;
— considering the type of excessively rigid discipline practiced in the communities of the Heralds of the Gospel;
— in order to allow younger people to have the indispensable relationship with their
families and with the aim of preventing any situation that could encourage possible abuse of conscience and plagiarism (?) against minors; it was decided that all minors admitted in any capacity to the Private association of Heralds of the Gospel or those residing in the Houses,
Colleges, Boarding Schools of the same Association, or in the Society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli and Regina virginum, at the end of the school year in course must return to live with their families and to be entrusted to their respective parents.
It is you, Most Rev. Eminence, who must communicate this decision to the General President of the Private Association Heralds of the Gospel, to the Superior General of the Society of Apostolic Clerical Life Virgo Flos Carmeli and the Female Apostolic Life Society Regina Virginum, and - along with its employees - define practical procedures and take appropriate measures so that this decision is complied with within the deadlines established.
I take this opportunity to greet you fraternally in the Lord crucified and resurrected.
The other text is a little longer, but in short it installs a cardinal as the pontifical commissary and a bishop and a religious sister as his assistants in this intervetion on the three institutes mentioned in the previous letter (Heralds of the Gospel, Virgo Flos Carmeli and Regina Virginum).
It says that grave problems were found regarding the style of government and of life of each of its members, the vocational pastoral, the formation of new vocations, the source of financial resources and administration, and the management of apostolic works and activities.
This one also is a bit strange, probably an already translated text from another language.
