疑遭斯洛維尼亞神父虐待的受害者敦促教宗良十四世加速教會審判

梵蒂岡城，9月23日（路透社）——五名指控遭一名與梵蒂岡有關聯的知名神父虐待的受害者，週三敦促教宗良十四世（Pope Leo）推動這名神職人員將近一年之久的教會審判盡快結束，並表示漫長且祕密進行的程序正使她們無法獲得正義。VATICAN CITY, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Five victims of alleged abuse by a prominent priest with Vatican ties urged Pope Leo on Wednesday to press for the conclusion of a nearly year-long Church trial of the cleric, saying a lengthy and secret process was denying them justice.

在良十四世啟程前往法國進行四天訪問前，馬爾科・魯普尼克神父（Rev. Marko Rupnik）的受害者發表公開信說，她們所受到的對待，對教會協助受害者的承諾造成負面觀感。教宗希望藉此次訪問，在當地虐待醜聞後修復教會聲譽。In an open letter ahead of Leo's four-day visit to France, where the pope is hoping to repair the Church's standing after abuse scandals there, victims of Rev. Marko Rupnik said their treatment reflects poorly on the Church's commitment to helping victims.

信中寫道：「這正在傳遞的訊息是……向教會當局通報虐待事件是沒有用的，因為反正什麼事都不會發生，也沒有人會被追究責任。」"This is the message being conveyed … that it is useless to report abuse to ecclesiastical authorities, because nothing happens anyway and no one will be held accountable," read the letter.

受害者表示，她們沒有收到任何關於教會審判的最新消息，也未能提供證詞。The victims said they had received no updates about the Church trial and had not been able to offer testimony.

她們敦促良十四世推動公平審判，「使判決及其結果，無論為何，都不會留下任何疑雲」。They urged Leo to press for a fair trial "so that the judgment and its outcome, whatever it may be, will remain free of any shadow of doubt."

梵蒂岡新聞辦公室未立即回應媒體詢問。The Vatican press office did not immediately offer comment.

魯普尼克是斯洛維尼亞神父，也是一名宗教藝術家。他的馬賽克作品裝飾全球約200座教堂與小聖堂，包括法國露德的一座宗座聖殿，教宗將於週六造訪該地。Rupnik, a Slovenian priest, is a religious artist whose mosaics adorn about 200 churches and chapels around the world, including a basilica in Lourdes, France, where the pope will visit on Saturday.

露德主教已下令在教宗到訪期間遮蓋這些馬賽克作品。The bishop of Lourdes has ordered that the mosaics be covered up for the pope's visit.

20多名女性指控魯普尼克涉及性虐待與心理虐待，其中多數是前修女。More than 20 women, mostly former nuns, have accused Rupnik of sexual and psychological abuse.

耶穌會在認定針對他的指控「高度」可信後，於2023年將這名神父逐出會外；目前尚不清楚他曾公開評論這些指控。The priest, expelled from the Jesuit order in 2023 after it found the accusations against him to be "very highly" credible, is not known to have commented publicly on the allegations.

梵蒂岡具影響力的教義部門負責人，最早於2025年10月宣布對魯普尼克展開教會審判。這類審判不公開進行，自那以來幾乎沒有最新消息。7月，梵蒂岡否認有關此案已作出裁決的報導。The head of the Vatican's powerful doctrinal office first announced a Church trial against Rupnik in October 2025. Such trials are held behind closed doors and there have been few updates since. In July, the Vatican denied reports that a decision had been made in the case.
