Father Jean-Luc Radier, 64, of the Society of Pius X, was arrested on 28 May in Mulhouse, France.
He is accused of raping a male minor aged between 9 and 12 in a FSSPX school in Moselle in the 1990s.
The accuser says there are many more accusers who say that Radier came to the boys' dormitory almost every night to commit his crimes.

Another case of sexual abuse among FSSPX priests is that of Father Arnaud Rostand, who admitted in court two months ago to having abused several minors. A year ago, Father Pierre de Maillard was convicted of abusing 27 minors. Father Matthew Stafki was sentenced to prison for abusing his 6-…More

Yes, I know that certain parts of the U.S. have had their own troubles with SSPX clericalism and other cult-like behaviour. Indeed, I know of good American priests who have been treated very badly by Menzingen for raising concerns about certain teaching methods in the schools, etc. In the grand scheme of things, the good SSPX priests far outweigh the rougue element.

Yes, I know that certain parts of the U.S. have had their own troubles with SSPX clericalism and other cult-like behaviour. Indeed, I know of good American priests who have been treated very badly by Menzingen for raising concerns about certain teaching methods in the schools, etc. In the grand scheme of things, the good SSPX priests far outweigh the rougue element. The problem is that the rogue element seems to enjoy the protection of the Menzingen elite, and that's very worrying. These clericalist types follow the methods of the Gospel Pharisees, which is precisely why you have correctly observed that they act contrary to the spirit of Our Lord and His Church.
