(Chai Brady. The Irish Catholic).
Irish bishops have delayed deciding on the future of artwork in Rome’s Pontifical Irish College by a controversial priest accused of abusing several adult women.
Slovenian artist and priest Fr Marko Rupnik has faced a myriad of accusations of serious sexual and spiritual abuse of at least 20 women since 2018. He was expelled from the Jesuits last year for “disobedience”.
The chapel at the Irish College re-opened in 2010 after extensive remodelling and mosaic work carried out by Fr Rupnik. There is still an image of the controversial priest in the process of his work on the Pontifical Irish College’s website in a section on the college chapel.
