U and Non-U Justice

I was introduced to the U-diagram several months ago, in the course of a week of intensive trauma therapy, and have found it useful in my personal life. But I have also found it useful in making sense of recent events in the Church. The case of Fr. Marko Rupnik, an artist, theologian, and former Jesuit accused of multiple acts of sexual and psychological abuse of religious sisters, has—as readers of THE LAMP no doubt already know—been a consistent feature of the ecclesial news cycle for almost two years. Over time, attention has focused on the question of what to do with Fr. Rupnik’s output of public artwork. Given the connection between his artistic process and his alleged abuse, is it appropriate to continue to publicly display his mosaics in sacred spaces across Europe and North America, or to use images of these mosaics online?
