There’s a long history of members of the clergy using their religious status to facilitate their sexual depravity against young children but we don’t normally hear about priests going after adult nuns from nearby convents though.

Apparently this has been going on for thirty years over in Slovenia though where 68 year old priest Marko Ivan Rupnik has been accused by an unnamed former nun ten years his junior of convincing her to engage in a threesome and watching pornography back from 1987 – 1994. Here’s what she had to say about the situation:
Father Marko started slowly and sweetly getting inside my psychological and spiritual world, exploiting my uncertainties and fragility and using my relationship with God to push me into sexual experiences with him.
Father Marko asked me to have threesomes with another sister of the community, because sexuality had to be, in his opinion, free from possession, in the image of the Trinity.
In 1992, while I was in my fourth year of philosophy at the Gregorian, he also took me twice to see pornographic films in Rome on Via Tuscolana and near Termini station. By then I was feeling terrible.
He may have had as many as twenty victims.
I first tried to report him in 1994 but every time I was ignored by the church.
He should have been stopped 30 years ago.
It was truly an abuse of conscience.
Yeah that really doesn’t sound good does it, but in all honesty it’s nothing that the Catholic Church hasn’t faced before and is probably pretty tame by their standards considering. Doesn’t even really matter that Rupnik is supposedly really close with the Pope and also has a large following around the world within the church due to his religious artwork.
Interestingly, Rupnik was also excommunicated briefly by the church back in 2020 after it emerged that he used confession to absolve a woman from having sex with him. He repented a month later and was allowed back in. Wonder if it will be as easy for him this time around hey.
