ROME (Reuters) - The Jesuit Roman Catholic religious order said on Tuesday that accusations of sexual, psychological and spiritual abuse against a prominent member were highly credible and that restrictions against him have been tightened.
The order said in a statement on its website it intended to start what it called an "internal procedure" against the priest, Father Marko Ivan Rupnik, a well-known artist of religious themes.
