A priest who is not very Catholic.

.
He claims to be on social networks as “bishop of the apostolic and ecumenical church”, a church founded in 1945 in Brazil which is breaking away from Rome.
As Monsignor Rey underlines, in the columns of the regional daily, “these celebrations are potentially misleading for the bereaved.
What is deceitful is when certain families wish to appeal to someone from the Church and that they are redirected to a person who does not belong there ”.
The diocese hopes not to have to file a complaint, while asking for the situation to stop.
A letter was also sent to the crematorium of La Seyne, as well as to the president of the metropolis and to the mayor of La Seyne.
Laurent Lenne, did not want to react.
