Nothing will happen to Rupinik or his hideous "art" because he is protected by those in high places. Why this should be so is profoundly puzzling, but encapsulates the corruption in today's Vatican. The other puzzle is why so many institutions chose to install that "art" rather than better artists' work.

Perhaps demonstrations at sites with installations of his "art" would pique the interest of secular media and cause enough embarrassment to change his patrons' minds. But probably nothing will make a difference short of sledgehammers and whitewash.
