The case, which centers around allegations of violence against Carmelite Nuns of the San Bernardo Convent, stemmed from the nuns’ support for devotion to the “Virgen del Cerro” (Virgin of the Hill), a figure not recognized by the Church. Archbishop Cargnello, Bishop Emeritus Martín de Elizalde, Judicial Vicar Loyola Pinto y de Sancristóval and Priest Lucio Ajaya were all found guilty of various forms of violence against the cloistered nuns.

The legal team representing the Archbishopric has expressed its intention to appeal the ruling, asserting that there are no substantive grounds to uphold the restraining orders, given the lack of developments in the case over the past two years. In a statement provided to Cadena 3, a news radio station in Argentina, the Archbishopric’s attorneys stated, “[t]he Justice Department already said that there was no type of crime related to violence. In the next few days, the appeal of the resolution will be presented, which we understand is totally inadequate and contrary to law.”
