The purpose was to examine and study how the victims were treated by the church, specifically the Jesuits
Officials of the Slovenian government expressed anger at the decision to incardinate Father Marko Rupnik, the disgraced former Jesuit, as a priest of the Diocese of Koper.
Everyone is confused and angry that someone as ostensibly compassionate as Pope Francis would refuse to do anything he could to see Rupnik defrocked.
“In September the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors brought to the Pope’s attention that there were serious problems in the handling of the Fr. Marko Rupnik case and lack of outreach to victims,” a Vatican statement said.
The Vatican said Friday that Pope Francis has lifted the statute of limitations on sexual abuse allegations against former Jesuit priest and mosaic artist Father Marko Rupnik.
