It was a strange coincidence. On Monday, April 21, only a few hours after the death of Pope Francis, sister Samuelle, an Hermit nun who lives in Aube, the northeast of France, and the filmmaker Quentin del Court announced the launch of an artistic project entitled Renaissance. The giant mosaic of 50 square meters will be created collectively by approximately boxes and monks that are victims of spiritual and sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, with the help of journalists, lawyers and friends. The work of art will be divided later into 200 pieces, hoping to permanently place them in so many sacred places decorated by Marko Rupnik, a joy and mosaic artist of renowned accused of psychological and sexual violence for about 40 women.
Delcourt did not choose Easter for the opportunity to launch this project: “It was the idea of a resurrection with its wounds,” he explained. The death of the pontiff on the same day gave an unexpected resonance to this project. Special, the Jesuit Pope, who was ambiguous with these issues, is suspended by the Italian press of having covered Rupnik for a long time. In October 2023, the Vatican, whose redemptoris mater chapel was decorated by Rupnik, anyway raised the statute of limitations to allow a trial to be held, while still using the Rupnik mosaics in their online communications. “Pope Francis did not understand at all the severity of the matter and was not clear RUPNIK,” Samuelle said.
