Lourdes bishop covers Rupnik mosaics

Post by Denise »

Good for this bishop!

The Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France announced Monday that the entrances to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, featuring art by the disgraced artist Father Marko Rupnik, are being covered.

they will replace them instead of leaving them covered "indefinitely"

so sad when a priest of God falls
I'm unfamiliar with the priest or the case,
is it definite abuse?

ever since Card. Pell was charged and spent over
a year in jail, i 'm wary against false accusations
against priests

prayers for his healing

Fátima shrine will not alter its giant Rupnik mosaic
Unlike Lourdes; but it has suspended use of the image

So sad that they cannot use the beautiful mosaics.
I do agree that just covering them indefinitely is not the answer.

How is Fatima going to suspend use of the images? It seems like it will be a difficult thing to enforce.
