The Bishop of Tarbes et Lourdes has ordered that the mosaics created by Marko Rupnik on the two side doors of the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France be covered up.
Bishop Jean-Marc Micas also announces that the mosaics on the two large central doors will also be covered in the next few days.
The mosaics by the alleged sexual abuser Rupnik, who is under investigation and awaiting a trial by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, were added to the neo-Gothic facade of the lower Lourdes basilica in 2008.
