Rupnik Case: Vatican Covers Its Tracks with Lies
Father Marko Rupnik will face a canonical trial over allegations of sexual and spiritual abuse of consecrated women, the Vatican announced on Friday.
The Vatican’s press office claimed/lied that the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors (PCPM) had only allerted Francis in September to "serious problems" in the handling of Rupnik's case. Rupnik has never been accused of abusing minors.
Ed Condon on PillarCatholic.com (October 27) says what everyone knows, “I don’t think there's much room for reasonable doubt that it wasn’t the PCPM’s representations to Francis last month that convinced him, but rather the instant, international outrage which greeted the news Wednesday that Rupnik was back in ministry.”
Francis has a pattern of protecting an astonishing number of (homo)sexual abusers/allies until he’s forced to act, at which point the Vatican often takes refuge in lies. It can be assumed that the Vatican will drag out the Rupnik trial.
