Two alleged victims of world-famous
Slovenian mosaic artist and ex-Jesuit priest Marko Rupnik have
come out in public for the first time, saying that "the rubber
wall" surrounding his alleged sex abuse has "crumbled."
They are named Mirjiam and Gloria, and are Slovenian women
former members of the Ignatius of Loyola Community of which the
69-year-old Rupnik was a prominent member before being expelled
three years ago.
"We knew each other in the community," Mirjam explained in a
press conference with Gloria at her side, "we were all young
girls, full of ideals, but these very ideals together with our
training in obedience were exploited for abuses of various
kinds: of conscience, of power, spiritual, psychic, physical and
often even sexual.
"We were faced with a rubber wall," they said, "let the wall
crumble.
