New Details: No Confessional and No Clothes

More details have emerged over the reasons for Créteil Bishop Michel Santier's premature January 2021 resignation.

In the 1990s, when he was a priest and a guru of the Charismatic movement who attracted many young people, he practised "striptease confessions" (Liberation.fr, 19 October).

Santier asked young adult men, including one who later became a priest, to take off their clothes in front of the tabernacle, one item of clothing per sin. Strangely, the men complied.

According to Rouen Archbishop Dominique Lebrun several participants in such "confessions" have come forward.

We know McCarrick preyed on seminarians. We know that seminary administrators overlooked bands of sodomites in their seminaries, which led many good men to give up on their vocations.
