Common card · No. 439456

Carlos Miguel Buela (4 April 1941 – 23 April 2023) was an Argentinian Catholic priest. In 1984, Buela founded the Institute of the Incarnate Word religious order, of which he was the Superior General from its founding until 1994 and again from 2001 until 2010, when he was removed as Superior General in response to allegations of abuse against seminarians. Both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis confirmed the outcome, and in 2021 a Vatican tribunal found Buela guilty of committing sexual abuse against five members or former members of the order.
