Quentin Meunier shared that comments made by Abbé Matthieu Raffray, a Catholic priest with a large online presence on Instagram, have caused him emotional distress. Raffray, who has over 200,000 followers, has drawn criticism for aligning with identitarian movements and referring to Jean-Marie Le Pen, a former French politician and leader of the far-right National Front, as a "prophet often misunderstood." Constance, a left-wing activist and practicing Catholic, called these statements "blasphemous" and expressed disappointment that she sees the Church being influenced by a minority with more conservative views. Abbé Raffray is set to attend a prayer vigil at the church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris on Thursday evening, the day before the Pope’s visit. The event was initially planned to take place at the Madeleine church but was moved due to high demand. The vigil is organized by the creators of the YouTube channel Two Disciples and will feature several prominent figures in online Catholicism, including Dominican Paul-Adrien d'Hardemare, Father Jean-Baptiste Bienvenu (PadreBlog), and Paul Delafosse from Amen Media. Bishop Bruno Valentin, president of the communication council of the French Bishops' Conference, will open the event. Bishop Valentin emphasized the need to reflect the diversity of the Catholic community, but noted that online spaces often reflect a narrow perspective. Théo Moy, co-founder of Cri, a Christian publication that describes itself as "joyful and radical," noted that the invited content creators are mostly traditional or conservative in their views, though not necessarily political in their approach to faith. He described Abbé Raffray as a figure who "really shocks" due to his controversial statements, particularly regarding homosexuality. These remarks led to a formal request from Minister Aurore Bergé in 2024 for a legal report on Raffray's comments. Several left-wing Catholics expressed a mix of frustration and exhaustion over the growing divide in how the Church is represented. Jeanne, a left-wing Catholic who supports traditional liturgy, agreed with the Pope’s teachings but felt the Church was not focusing enough on issues like environmental protection and the inclusion of migrants. Constance, who does not see her faith as conflicting with her values, believes online Catholicism is being dominated by a minority that seeks to exclude others. Anne, a younger Catholic, mentioned that her parents' generation is surprised by what they see as a return to more conservative positions, while Clément, 29, was moved by the Pope's message on respect for others but keeps his religious practices private to avoid encountering what he calls "horrors." Théo Moy explained that the disparity in visibility between left-wing and identitarian Catholics is due to historical and financial factors. He noted that some Catholic influencers are supported by religious orders or far-right groups, such as the Acutis network, which is linked to Pierre-Edouard Stérin. In contrast, left-wing Catholics often organize through collectives like Amen Media, Dorothy, Paix, Anastasis, or Luttes et contemplations, which Constance is part of. These groups aim to present a different image of the Church, opposing the influence of identitarian Catholics. Cri, a publication launched to increase visibility for left-wing Catholic voices, has 3,600 subscribers, significantly fewer than Abbé Raffray's 200,000 Instagram followers.
