One of the first women who accused a once-exalted Jesuit artist of spiritual, psychological and sexual abuse has gone public. Gloria Branciani appeared at a news conference Wednesday with one of the most prominent Vatican-accredited lawyers in Rome. She detailed the abuses of the Slovene priest the Rev. Marko Rupnik. She said they included his fondness for three-way sex “in the image of the Trinity.” If confirmed that would constitute a grave perversion of Catholic doctrine as to be considered false mysticism. Rupnik’s mosaics decorate churches and basilicas around the world. Rupnik has not commented publicly about the allegations, but his art studio has said media reports about the case have been defamatory and unproven.
