Marko Rupnik, S.J., has been expelled from the Jesuits for his alleged sexual abuse of vulnerable women. Despite this, he remains a priest with limited faculties. Rupnik is also a popular sacred artist, and his work can be found in churches and shrines worldwide. For over 30 years, Rupnik’s superiors, including the pope, failed to discipline him or stop his abusive behavior. A formal investigation by the Jesuits confirmed that he had excommunicated himself when he absolved a woman of sexual sins that he himself had committed. Despite this, he was invited to preach at the annual Lenten retreat for the Roman Curia and his work was chosen as the logo for the World Meeting of Families. When Rupnik’s excommunication was confirmed, it was quickly lifted, and when he was later accused of decades-old crimes, the Vatican refused to waive the statute of limitations. The author argues that the Catholic Church will not be purified until the current generation of bishops, appointed by Francis, Benedict XVI, or John Paul II, have been replaced. The author compares the church’s struggle to free itself from abuse and clericalism to the Hebrews’ struggle to be liberated from Egypt in the book of Exodus. The author believes that we are still in the desert and that a new leader is needed to lead the church in a new direction.
