History
The Institute of the Incarnate Word was founded by Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela, in San Rafael Argentina, with approval of Bishop León Kruk as an experiment in religious life. In 2004, the IVE became a religious congregation of diocesan right by Bishop Andrea María Erba in the Diocese of Velletri-Segni, Italy, where the congregation's main house still resides. Since its foundation, the IVE has grown considerably and now numbers approximately 1,000 members (including priests, brothers, seminarians, and minor seminarians). The IVE is primarily a clerical institute, where the majority of its members are priests, although it does include some permanent coadjutor brothers who dedicate themselves to the service of the houses and those works which do not require the grace of Holy Orders.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
