The Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) (Spanish: Instituto del Verbo Encarnado) is a Catholic religious institute founded in Argentina by Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela on March 25, 1984. It is a religious institute of diocesan right. The institute is the male branch of the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word, a union of religious institutes founded by Buela; the other two branches are the female religious community known as the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará (SSVM) and the Secular Third Order.
In December 2016, the institute's founder was sentenced by a Vatican tribunal of sexual misconduct with IVE seminarians and was forced to cut off all contact with members of the IVE while living his sentence doing penance and prayer.
