A Priest in Good Standing

Compare and contrast with Father Pavone:

 

An alleged victim of Slovenian Jesuit artist Fr. Marko Ivan Rupnik detailed on Sunday the sexual, psychological, and spiritual abuse she said she suffered as a religious sister, in a new interview with Italian media.

Allegations against the Jesuit priest have become a point of scandal in the Church, after Rupnik was accused of serially abusing Slovenian consecrated women in the 1980s and 1990s.

The allegations were sent to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2021, but have not resulted in canonical prosecution — with Society of Jesus officials saying they were informed that Rupnik would not be canonically prosecuted for the alleged abuse, owing to the canonical statute of limitations.

That claim has sparked controversy in the Church, with journalists and victims’ advocates asking why the dicastery did not waive prescription — the canonical statute of limitations — as it has in other abuse cases handled at the dicastery.

The controversy escalated last week after the Associated Press confirmed that at the end of a process which began in 2019, the dicastery declared Rupnik excommunicated. The priest was found guilty of attempting to absolve an accomplice after a sexual encounter  — a major crime in the Church’s legal system.

The excommunication was quickly lifted, according to Jesuit superior general, Fr Arturo Sosa. Rupnik was nevertheless asked in March 2020 to preach a Lenten spiritual reflection in the Apostolic Palace for officials of the Roman curia.

 

Go here to read the rest.  For the current gang at the Vatican the procedure is always to punish your enemies for everything they do and to conceal even the greatest crimes of your friends.

 

This isn’t mere hypocrisy.  It is evil of a much blacker hue.  When the Vatican picked the above bizarre piece of “art” by Rupnik to symbolize the Pope’s year of mercy, was Pope Francis making a private in joke as to the kid glove treatment of the artist?  However poorly you think of the current gang at the Vatican you likely do not think poorly enough as to them.

The quoted tweet by Lamb is just repugnant whataboutism:

“There are likely other Rupnik cases, but they may not suit the anti-Francis agenda, so they will likely stay under the radar. 

“In this highly charged atmosphere, it is vital to ensure all cases of abuse are handled in a rigorous, independent and proactive manner.”

There is a special place in hell reserved for people like this and the highly placed clerics who enable them. Here’s looking at you, Bergoglio. I am sorry. I just can’t stand it. That man on the Papal throne must be removed somehow, someway.

How insensitive and diabolical.
Can you imagine being one of the victims and seeing this monsters artwork being used throughout Christendom?

Catholic Church?

Not in Rome. It doesn’t exist.

Sorry.

The outright removal of the imposters will come in time.
It’s just hard to see this and pray for him…his soul. It’s very difficult.

Lamb is right about one thing, there are likely many more Rupnik cases we’ll never hear about, he’s just clueless as to who’s covering for them.
How long, O Lord?!?

Is there such a thing as a Pope in good standing?

Not lately, it would seem, Philip.

Yup…I have to agree.

Upon this Rock ….I thought that our Lord exclaimed…not, upon this Punk Rock. I love classical music…can’t wait for it’s return.
