Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes has decided to cover mosaics by Marko Rupnik at the entrance of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, a move aimed at making the basilica more welcoming for all, particularly victims of abuse. The bishop explained his decision yesterday, saying: “I felt, along with my colleagues, that a new symbolic step had to be taken to facilitate entry into the basilica for all those who are currently unable to cross the threshold. As a result, all the doors to the Basilica of the Rosary have been modified,” The Vatican canonical process against Rupnik, the expelled Jesuit, is now in its third year.
