Pope Francis should help perpetrators - activists make serious allegations. Ten cases since 2019 show that Francis puts the interests of accused clerics above those affected.
The Slovenian priest Marko Rupnik, for example, was excommunicated in 2020 after allegations of sexual and psychological assaults against nuns, but was readmitted to a diocese in 2023. While he publicly condemns abortions, he turns a blind eye to priests who force nuns to have abortions. They would largely keep their fates secret because they risk being excluded from their orders and becoming homeless.
