梵蒂冈周三确认正在进行针对前耶稣会士、艺术家马尔科·鲁普尼克的教会审判,并为诉讼程序的保密性进行辩护 1。梵蒂冈新闻办公室声称意大利博客关于鲁普尼克被判无罪的报道"完全没有根据" 1。
鲁普尼克被指控对女性进行精神和性虐待 1。这一丑闻于2022年末公开,涉及从1990年代开始的性虐待指控 1。2020年,鲁普尼克因在告解中赦免与其有性关系的女性而被暂时逐出教籍 1。耶稣会随后在2023年将其逐出教团 1。
受害者律师对梵蒂冈内部司法系统的不透明性提出强烈批评 1。律师劳拉·斯格罗在周二给梵蒂冈教义部负责人的信中表示,她的五位委托人从未被法庭采访过 1。在教会司法程序中,受害者仅被视为第三方证人,无法参与秘密诉讼程序、无权获得案卷、无权了解调查状态 1。
教宗方济各在压力下于2019年进行改革,允许受害者了解案件最终结果,但除此之外无权获得任何信息 1。
The Vatican confirmed on Wednesday that it is conducting a church trial against Marko Rupnik, a former Jesuit artist, while defending the confidential nature of the proceedings 1. Rupnik faces allegations of spiritual and sexual abuse directed at women, with the case raising questions about Pope Francis's handling of those involved 1.
The Vatican's press office stated that an Italian blog's report claiming Rupnik had been acquitted was "completely without foundation" 1. The scandal surrounding Rupnik became public in late 2022, stemming from sexual abuse allegations dating back to the 1990s 1. In 2020, Rupnik was temporarily laicized after he absolved a woman in confession with whom he had engaged in a sexual relationship 1. The Jesuits formally expelled him from their order in 2023 1.
Victims' attorney Laura Sgro challenged the Vatican's opacity in a letter sent Tuesday to the head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, stating that none of her five clients have ever been interviewed by the court 1. Under the church's judicial system, victims are treated only as third-party witnesses, unable to participate in confidential proceedings, access case files, or learn about investigation status 1.
Pope Francis implemented reforms in 2019 under pressure that allow victims to learn the final outcome of cases, though they receive no other information 1. This limited access underscores the constraints placed on accusers within Vatican justice proceedings 1.
