Media have reported on the “outrage” from Catholics on social media over the synod website’s use of at least one work of art made by Rupnik.

That art, a depiction of the adoration of Christ by the Magi, was used on the synod website as late as Sept. 26, according to archived pages of the website reviewed by CNA.

The image is that of a mosaic created for the Almudena Cathedral in Madrid, Spain, in 2011. It is listed on the website of Centro Aletti, the art institute in Rome that was until recently run by Rupnik.

Though Centro Aletti does not list the authorship of the mosaics listed on its website, it seems likely that Rupnik was the artist who installed the mosaic in question — it mirrors the style of mosaic work for which he is known, and several blogs and/or websites identify him as its creator, though without attribution.

That being said, CNA could not confirm that the mosaic was created directly by Rupnik or else by someone associated with the Aletti institute. Aletti’s listing of the artwork identifies it as among the “more than 200 works” made by the “Art and Architecture Workshop of the Aletti Center.”

Both the communications manager of the General Secretariat of the Synod of the Bishops and Paolo Ruffini, president of the synod communications commission, declined CNA’s request for comment.
