Full interview with Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly: Knights of Columbus to cover Rupnik art in the US

About this sermon

In an exclusive sit-down interview with EWTN News President Montse Alvarado, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly discusses the Knights of Columbus announcement (Thursday, July 11) to cover mosaics by the accused abuser Father Marko Rupnik in Washington, D.C., and Connecticut, a dramatic move that represents the strongest public stand yet by a major Catholic organization regarding the former Jesuit’s embattled art. The 2.1-million-member lay Catholic fraternal order said it would use fabric to cover the floor-to-ceiling mosaics in the two chapels of the St. John Paul II National Shrine in Washington and in the chapel at the Knights’ headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut — at least until the completion of a formal Vatican investigation into the Slovenian priest’s alleged abuse. Patrick Kelly, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus discussed the confidential process the Knights underwent to reach this decision, how they prioritized victims in the process, and what they expect others to do while deferring to the much-anticipated decision from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on the investigation into the Rupnik accusations.
