Calls Intensify for Removal of Art by Priest Accused of Abuse

Victims and advocates urge Catholic bishops to remove mosaics by Marko Rupnik from churches to respect survivors' trauma.

Cardinal Sean O'Malley emphasized the need to avoid implying support for alleged perpetrators by displaying their art.
Victims allege some abuses occurred during the creation of Rupnik's mosaics, intensifying the call for their removal.
The head of Vatican's Dicastery for Communication opposes removal, arguing it does not aid healing.
Several dioceses, including Lourdes, are considering the removal of Rupnik's artworks.
The Vatican's canonical trial against Rupnik is ongoing, with continued debate over the appropriateness of his art in sacred spaces.
