'I see an apparent victory of situation ethics over traditional Catholic morality.'
(LifeSiteNews) — On October 21, 2020, in the documentary Francesco by Evgeny Afineevsky, Pope Francis made a statement on homosexuality that spread very quickly throughout the media and stunned the world. Abbé Janvier Gbénou, a 41-year-old African priest born in Benin and living in Côte d’Ivoire (West Africa), had no idea that this statement would change and mark his life. Ordained a priest of Jesus Christ in Rome in 2012, he holds a master’s degree in Computer Science Applied to Business Management and a Doctorate in Philosophy. As it will soon be the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ declaration, the Abbé wishes to draw attention once again to an event that has already been forgotten by many Catholics but which, for him, constitutes an apparent victory of homosexuality and situation ethics over the papacy. In response, Abbé Janvier Gbénou has decided to take up the pen under the name Father Jesusmary Missigbètò.
Father Jesusmary, a member of Opus Dei, was suspended as a priest in March of this year after last November criticizing Pope Francis’ support of civil unions of homosexual couples and asking him to correct his position or resign. He is not allowed to celebrate public Masses, to preach, or to hear confessions, and he was also told to leave the Opus Dei residence.
