Father Raffray is a well-known priest who has a growing apostolate on the internet and social media aimed especially at young French-speaking people.
The French government has initiated a series of legal measures against Father Matthieu Raffray for calling homosexual relations sinful and for describing homosexuality as a “weakness.”
On March 15, the priest of the Institute of the Good Shepherd — created in 2006 in Rome for “the defense and dissemination of Catholic Tradition in all its forms,” according to the website of this society of apostolic life — posted a video on Instagram in which he encouraged the faithful to fight against their weaknesses.
Father Raffray commented that each person has his or her own weapons with which to fight, but the devil convinces people that the fight “is too hard” and therefore it’s useless to resist.
The video was denounced by various LGBT lobby groups, and Aurore Bergé, government minister for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, called the priest’s statements “unacceptable.”
Bergé wrote on X that she has asked the Interministerial Delegation for the Fight against Racism, Anti-semitism, and Anti-LGBT Hatred (DILCRAH) to report the alleged infraction on the basis of Article 40 of the penal code to the public prosecutor. “In the face of hatred I’m not going to let anything get by, whatever it may be,” she added.
DILCRAH in turn stated on X that it received the minister’s message and has informed “the prosecutor of the homophobic comments made by Mr. Raffray on social media. So-called ‘conversion therapy’ has been illegal since 2022. Talking about homosexuality as a weakness is shameful.”

I imagine the 12% of their population that is Muslim would be a lot harsher in their statements.
why doesn’t French globohomo start their work there?
Cool, lady! Now take that crap to the nearest mosque Imam!
There is no “hate statement” by any religion that cannot be exceeded by an Imam hourly. And, surprisingly, nothing is done.
Yet.
Woe be to those that call evil good and good evil.
Muslims don’t tend to make public statements on such things.
The drive to eliminate Christianity is ever expanding.
“Cracks down,” eh? Today a fine, maybe a job loss. Tomorrow, a gulag.
We’ve seen this movie before. Ad nauseam.
Yep, they’re way to clever for that.
Yes.
How long before Western governments either outlaw the Bible or force the re-writing or removal of “offensive” passages. Starting with online scripture would easiest, then door to door collection of “illegal” Bibles by the Bible police.
Don’t think it won’t ultimately happen here?
How ironic that it was Charles “The Hammer” Martel who kept the Muslims from coming up from Spain to invade France, and now the French are paving the way for Christianity to be criminalized and Islam to rise without a fight.
So the government is now telling you what to believe
This is the same bunch that enacted the Digital Services Act...

Oddly acceptable but if it was a grown man it would be punished by a most unpleasant death.
Better to live and speak in such a way as to welcome judgment by God rather than by men (and women).
7 verses of Scripture agree with him.
