Jean-Marc Micas

Jean-Marc Micas is the bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, known for his compassionate approach towards victims of sexual abuse within the Church. Recently, he made headlines for his decision to cover mosaics created by former Jesuit priest Marko Rupnik, who has faced multiple abuse allegations. Micas explained that this action was a symbolic gesture to facilitate access to the basilica for those affected by Rupnik's actions, particularly during the Jubilee year. His leadership reflects a commitment to addressing the painful legacy of abuse while promoting healing and inclusivity within the Church.
