French Homosex Activist Leaves Priesthood
Matthieu Jasseron, 39, until June parish priest in Joigny, Yonne, announced on 20 October that he was leaving the priesthood. He was ordained in 2019 in the archdiocese of Sens-Auxerre in Burgundy, headed at the time by Archbishop Hervé Giraud.
Jasseron is known for videos on TikTok in which he mocks the liturgy and propagates homosexual sins.
He sees himself as a "victim" of a failing church system and blames "certain behaviours of his hierarchy": "It seems to me that I'm no longer sufficiently in tune with the institutional Church to remain".
Jasseron makes serious accusations, including calling parts of the Catholic hierarchy "traitors": "I was abused and physically assaulted by a bishop," he accuses, without naming the alleged culprit.
He even claims that an intelligence service pressured him not to attend a church meeting for fear of exposing "scandals involving certain prelates" which sounds as if he had psychiatric problems (persecution mania).
