Vatican Removes Abbess - Triggers Monastic Collapse
In April, Mother Aline Pereira Ghammachi, the abbess of the Cistercian monastery San Giacomo di Veglia in Italy, was removed without a proper canonical process. SilereNonPossum.com published the Roman decrees on 16 May.
Mother Ghammachi became Italy’s youngest abbess in spring 2018, aged 34. She was renowned for her big blue eyes and winning smile.
Despite Canon Law and common sense requiring formal and transparent charges, Mother Ghammachi was only told: “You know what you have done.”
Key figures against her include Sister Simona Brambilla, Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Religious, and Father Mauro Giuseppe Lepori. He is a Swiss Cistercian monk and the current Abbot General of the Cistercian Order. Silere Non Possum accuses him of narcissism.

What possibly could the charges have been for the Holy See to destroy such a thriving Monastery? Were they false or proven? And if so, by what means and what measure?

Local media reported that the Cistercian order intended to sell the monastery. However, the young abbess had managed to restructure its finances within a few years and pay off its debts.
“You know what you have done.” I dislike reports like where we still do not know what the accusation is. Will have to assume it is orthodoxy.
As I have readed father MAuro had said she was too beauty and as an yound woman and brasilian no one would take her serious. He said that like joking.
