A report has found that the Church cannot be trusted to investigate sexual abuse cases. Former nuns have urged Pope Francis to allow an independent investigation into abuse by a prominent priest, including allegations of sexual, psychological, and spiritual abuse. Victims have detailed disturbing accounts, including being forced to watch pornography for 'spiritual growth' and other abusive practices by Father Marko Rupnik, a once-famous Jesuit and renowned religious artist. The Vatican authorities are accused of covering up the abuse at the community founded by Rupnik. Calls for transparency and a public investigation have intensified, with demands for the Church to confront its history of sexual abuse.
