[Catholic Caucus] New Preacher of Papal Household Is A Friend of Marko Rupnik

The new Preacher of the Papal Household, homosexual activist and Capuchin Roberto Pasolini, has a connection with Father Marko Rupnik, a former Jesuit at the centre of sexual affairs with half of a nunnery in Slovenia.

Fr Pasolini used Rupnik's artwork as the cover of his trilogy of books: "Saremo noi. Immersi nell'amore più grande", "Non siamo stati noi" and "È stato Dio: Dentro una vita nuova".

The three images are taken from the Joseph Cycle, realised by Rupnik's Roman Aletti Centre in a church in Mostar. The figures have the typical large black empty eyes.

The foreword to the book "Non siamo stati noi", which was published in September 2020, was written by Fr Rupnik. He flatters: "Father Roberto also has the gift of a simple, accessible, immediate, rich language, sometimes even too fluent, if one can say so. But it is precisely this talent that makes the book accessible to a wide range of readers".

There were other collaborations:

Father Pasolini gave two conferences at the annual meeting of the Aletti Centre in Assisi in July 2019.

He wrote reflections for "Briciole di Parola" (Crumbs of the Word), a series of short commentaries on daily scripture readings, produced by the Centro Aletti.

LaNuovaBq.it calls Father Pasolini "a disciple of Rupnik" and suggests that "the ex-Jesuit seems not to have stopped exerting a discreet influence on the Pope and his appointments".
