Shocking:Slovenian Priest Said To Be Close To Pope Allegedly Invited Two Nuns For A “Holy Trinity” Threesome.
Pope Francis is a member of the Jesuits, a Catholic order of priests and brothers, and Rupnik is currently at the center of a scandal that has engulfed them.
The former nun, 58, gave an explosive interview to an Italian newspaper on Sunday, saying: “Father Marko 68 started slowly and sweetly getting inside my psychological and spiritual world, taking advantage of my doubts and frailty and using my relationship with God to push me into sexual experiences with him.”
The nun alleged that between 1987 and 1994, while she was a member of the Slovenian convent, Rupnik groomed her, had sex with her, and intimidated her into silence.
The three-way interaction between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit would be replicated, she alleged Rupnik had invited her and another nun to have sex with him.
She described Rupnik’s years of sexual abuse and spiritual manipulation and claimed that she tried repeatedly to report him only to run into Jesuit and other superiors who frequently shielded Rupnik from harm. She asserted that she thought Rupnik had assaulted up to 20 women.
The nun declared, “It was truly an abuse of conscience.”
She claimed that her first complaint about his conduct was made in 1994 while she was living in Slovenia, but that as Rupnik’s society expanded and acquired popularity abroad, first in Slovenia and later in Rome, it was disregarded.
The former nun, now 58, has revealed how her complaints against the priest were disregarded at the time of the claims. Rupnik, who is well-known in the church for his artwork, was the spiritual director of a convent in Slovenia at the time.
She described the use of pornography, humiliation, and many partners “in the image of the Trinity” in Rupnik’s spiritual and sexual abuse, adding that other sisters were also affected similarly.
The woman remarked, “He ought to have been stopped thirty years ago.”
On Sunday, in response to her accusations, Pope Francis’ Jesuit order requested that any further victims come forward and file complaints against Rupnik.
Despite the horrifying testimony of people who said he had abused them sexually and spiritually, it has come to light that Rupnik has essentially been let off the hook by the Vatican twice.
To put an end to the crisis, the Jesuits requested more evidence against Rupnik and gave a timeline of his case.
The Slovenian priest is not well known to lay Catholics but is highly known to the hierarchy because he is one of the most in-demand musicians in the church. Around the world, chapels, churches, and basilicas are adorned with his mosaics.
Rupnik’s ministry has been constrained, and he is not permitted to hear confessions, provide spiritual guidance, or conduct devotional activities. However, Rupnik is listed as planning to offer spiritual exercises from February 13–17 at the Loreto Marian shrine on Italy’s Adriatic coast.
The Rev. Johan Verschueren, Rupnik’s senior, stated on Sunday that he wanted to attempt to address some of the questions that have arisen around the matter. He made a call in a statement for anyone with recent or previous complaints to come forward.
“Those who have suffered are my major concern in all of this, and I invite anyone who wishes to make a new complaint or who wishes to review complaints that have already been made to approach me,” he said.
English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and German complaints will be welcomed, he stated.
