CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Jean-Marc Micas, P.S.S., of Tarbes and Lourdes, France, told a French newspaper that Father Marko Rupnik’s mosaics at the famed Marian shrine will be covered up before the papal visit there next month.
“My role is to ensure that the shrine welcomes everyone, especially those who are suffering,” said Bishop Micas. “Among them are victims of sexual abuse and assault, both children and adults.”
Last month, the Vatican denied rumors that the Slovenian priest’s canonical trial on charges of abusing women religious ended in acquittal.
