Public Sinner: Homosexual Abuser Embarrasses Vatican
Monsignor Tony Anatrella, 80, a psychotherapist ("the Church's shrink") - accused since 2001 by several men, usually homosexuals, of having applied to them "corporal therapy" by making them undress and masturbating them -, participated at the February 17-19 Vatican conference on the priesthood.
In 2018, Paris Archbishop Aupetit found Anatrella guilty, suspended him and forbad him to speak in public. At the conference he registered as “Mons. Tony Anatrella.”
La-Croix.com knows that Anatrella had lunch at Francis' Santa Martha on Thursday. The guest house is one of the places where the participants of the symposium may take their meals.
Registration for the event was open to all clergy and done by an Italian company. Anatrella signed up on his own initiative. Cardinal Ouellet whose congregation organises the event, protested that he didn't know about Anatrella's presence.
However, Ouellet has prefaced one of Anatrella's books, invited him to the Family Synod in 2014, and engaged him as a speaker for a 2015 seminary for newly appointed bishops.
