Msgr. John Joseph Kennedy, who heads the disciplinary section of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, told reporters on May 29 that an investigation into abuse charges against Father Marko Rupnik is “at a fairly advanced stage.”
“It’s a delicate case,” Msgr. Kennedy said, declining to discuss details. The Vatican has been pressed for an explanation as to why Rupnik—who has been accused of multiple serious offenses, and has been expelled from the Jesuit order—remains in active ministry.
