The injustice of not having Marko Rupnik face justice

Rupnik, the sex-abusing artist-priest, was expelled from the Jesuit order in 2023 – for “disobedience” rather than for his alleged crimes, which had been declared beyond the statute of limitations – and was subsequently allowed to join a diocese in his native Slovenia and remain a priest in good standing. When people found out about that development there was massive outcry, and Pope Francis ordered Rupnik’s case to be reopened and re-examined. Still, the case languishes. The Vatican is forgetting that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done.
