The Case of Marko Rupnik: An Artist’s Perspective

I would suggest that any institution that must make decisions around Rupnik mosaics should commit to dismantling them. Artists could use the tiles to create new mosaic installations dedicated to survivors. These mosaics could be housed in a chapel dedicated to survivors of abuse. Communicating from the authoritative voice of the Church, a chapel dedicated to victims would say, “We see you, we are sorry that we failed to protect you, bearers of God’s beauty in your vulnerability. And we are listening. You are the Church.”
