ROME (Reuters) – The Roman Catholic Jesuit order said on Thursday it had expelled Father Marko Ivan Rupnik, an internationally-known religious artist accused of sexual, psychological and spiritual abuse.
A statement said Rupnik, whose case has shaken the worldwide religious order and the Vatican, was dismissed for “obstinately” refusing to obey the Jesuit superior general.
