Matassoli was removed from his duties a decade ago because of sexual abuse allegations, though the church reportedly kept him on the payroll until last year.

So the kid is just 19? And the priest was 91? And not been a priest for decades?

I can't see how the kid was sexually abused.

Some kind of fixation. His dad committed suicide, and the priest was a known sexual abuser. He could have focused his anger on the priest and become fixated on the guy, his mind building up rationalizations.

...I can’t see how the kid was sexually abused.

The revenge killing occurred on Nov. 4 at 91-year-old priest Roger Matassoli’s house in Agnetz, Oise, France, where the 19-year-old, identified only as Alexandre V., was working as a housekeeper

I’m confused too and would like to know the timeline. The boy was molested by the priest in 2009(?) The boy told his dad in 2010(?), his dad then confessed that he had been molested by the same priest and killed himself due to guilt (?) The boy then grows up plotting revenge, gets the job which gives him access in 2018(?), and exacts?. Poorly written partial news story. Screenplay writes itself.

Evil begets evil. Forgiveness is the only out. Can’t do God’s job.

“Matassoli was removed from his duties a decade ago...”

If this kid is 19, that would have made him 9 or under, perfect for priest molestation.

It is odd - if it’s “decades” that would entail at least 20 years, which doesn’t add up if those numbers are correct.

Hope that clarifies things for you..........

Matasolli only removed from acting as a priest 10 years ago. What I dont understand is the abused father letting his son anywhere near the priest.
