A scandal rocking the Catholic Church centers on Marko Rupnik, a famed mosaic artist with ties to the Vatican, now accused of decades of sexual and spiritual abuse by over two dozen women. Despite a 2020 brief excommunication and a 2022 surge in allegations, the Vatican’s handling of the case remains shrouded in secrecy—prompting victims’ lawyer Laura Sgro to demand transparency. Though Pope Francis waived the statute of limitations to allow prosecution, the legal process is glacial, and survivors have little recourse, unable to access files or track proceedings. Critics question whether the Church’s opaque canonical system, despite recent reforms, truly serves justice—or retraumatizes those who came forward.
