Charismatic Community Dissolved
The Charismatic community Le Verbe de Vie, made up of consecrated persons and families living together, was dissolved on July 1 after 37 years.
The closure was decided in June 2022 by Brussels Cardinal Jozef de Kesel after two canonical visitations which found “serious and systemic dysfunctions" since its foundation.
As is often the case in Charismatic movements, members reported toxic behaviour by those in authority (people considered to have “an aura”) including sexual assault.
LaVie.fr reports that Châlons-en-Champagne Bishop François Touvet gathered the 200 members for a last time in Andecy Abbey, their former motherhouse, on Pentecost 2023.
The sisters wore sky-blue habits with rosaries and white veils.
