In February, the Society of Jesus reported that had opened a new internal procedure against Rupnik, after receiving accusations against him that spanned from 1985 to 2018. The “highly credible” accusations, he indicated, included accusations of spiritual, psychological and sexual abuse, and conscience.
The June statement indicated that the team investigating the allegations had submitted its file the same month.
Rupnik’s superiors imposed certain restrictions on his ministry on the recommendation of investigators.
According to media reports in recent months, the priest defied these orders and others, such as to remain in central Italy and not participate in public artistic activities.
