CWN Editor's Note: A Spanish court has ruled that a community of women religious must leave their monastery, approving an eviction order from the Archdiocese of Burgos, after the nuns were excommunicated.

The members of what had been a Poor Clare community in Belorado were excommunicated last year for schism, after they declared that they declared that “the see of St. Peter is vacant and usurped.” They had said that Pope Pius XII was the last legitimate Pontiff.
