Lourdes covers mosaics of former priest accused of sexual abuse before the arrival of Lion XIV
Before Pope Leo XIV's visit to Lourdes, where he will address the sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy, the mosaics made by the priest and artist Marko Rupnik have been covered on the façade of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. The former Jesuit priest is currently under a process in the Vatican, after being accused by many women of sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse. León XIV will meet with seven victims of sexual abuse by the French clergy during his visit to the city.
