Another French Diocese Appointed Pervert In Higher Diocesan Post
On 10 August, Riposte-Catholique.fr reported on Rev Joseph Renaud of the Diocese of Angers.
He was arrested on 10 June 2014 and placed in pre-trial detention for posting child pornography on a cloud from a parish computer in Saint Martin des Champs, Angers.
He admitted the charges and was suspended from all public ministry by Bishop Emmanuel Delmas, 70, who was in office at the time. In 2017, Rev Renaud was sentenced to two years in prison.
Following his release from prison, Rev Renaud was appointed to various pastoral roles, including as parish priest in Trélazé.
In October 2024, Bishop Delmas appointed him as one of three members of the presbyteral council.
In 2025, Father Renaud was appointed delegate for the social protection of the clergy.
Two weeks ago, Bishop Delmas appointed the sexual pervert as ecclesiastical notary in the diocese’s chancery.
