ROME – Conflict is brewing in a northern archdiocese of Argentina, where a group of cloistered nuns have made a formal allegation against the bishop for “gender violence”; at the same time, the Vatican has warned the nuns against promoting an alleged Marian apparition.
The allegation against Archbishop Mario Cargnello of Salta was made by the nuns of the San Bernardo Convent of Discalced Carmelites.
According to the convent’s lawyers – the sisters have refused to speak to the media, including Crux – the situation has been bad since 1999, when the archbishop arrived in the diocese. Earlier this month, the nuns decided to make a formal complaint arguing that they have the right to live without violence, with their physical integrity and beliefs respected, and defending the autonomy of the monastery, that technically falls under the jurisdiction of the Vatican.
Bishop Martín de Elizalde, emeritus of Santo Domingo, and Father Lucio Ajaya have also been named in the complaint.
he archdiocese has been silent on the matter, with Cargnello not answering media requests.
The lawyers of the convent say the complaint does not focus on a particular crime, but say there is “a longstanding and complex relationship [between the archbishop and nuns], characterized by pressing demands and behaviors, carried out from his superiority, boastfulness and masculine worth, either by himself or with the help of third parties.”
The prelate’s defense attorneys deny everything, and attributes the accusation to disobedience to the charism that, according to canon law, the convent should be following.

Send in Nancy Pelosi to sort this out.
WTF is gender violence?...
“Yes I know I have violated FR tradition”
Thank you, and try not to let that happen again...

Bless me AdminMod for I have sinned. :)
Your penance is five postings without reading the article, one pic of CZJ on a Maureen Dowd article, and one personal attack.
I honestly had not heard of this Marian Apparition, interesting.
It feels like I have not read something by her for ages.
Not that I have missed her.
I haven’t been able to post a pic in too long.
It's whenever a man disagrees with a woman / will not submit to her demands.
Regards,
It must be a violent attack on a facet of grammar. With Spanish language that would be a more serious crime than with English.

Sounds correct for current society.
