One of the world’s most popular sites of Marian devotion has announced that it is not considering removing or altering its artworks by alleged abuser Father Marko Rupnik.
It follows another of the world’s most venerated Marian shrines at Lourdes announcing on 31 March that it will be covering mosaics by Rupnik on the doors to one of its basilicas.
A spokesperson for the Fátima shrine in Portugal told the Portuguese news outlet 7Margens via email this week that the famous and beloved shrine is not taking down its giant mosaic installation by Rupnik and several of his artist collaborators, though it has stopped using its image in any distributed materials, reports the Catholic News Agency (CNA).
