Father Matthieu Resigns from Church Amid Allegations of Harassment

The former TikTok influencer cites internal church pressures and personal conflicts as reasons for leaving the priesthood.

Father Matthieu, a former social media influencer with over 1.2 million followers on TikTok, announced his departure from the Church, citing a misalignment with institutional values.
Matthieu Jasseron claims to have faced harassment and physical aggression from within the ecclesiastical hierarchy, including an alleged assault by a bishop.
The ex-priest expressed feeling marginalized and blacklisted by peers and church authorities, leading to his decision to step down.
Despite leaving the priesthood, Jasseron remains a believer and plans to release a new book titled 'The Power of Kintsugi' on October 23.
Archbishop Pascal Wintzer has acknowledged the situation and intends to meet with Jasseron to discuss the circumstances surrounding his resignation.
