Toulouse Archbishop Appoints Convicted Rapist As Diocesan Chancellor

July 9, 2025 by sd

From The Catholic Herald:

Archbishop Guy André Marie de Kerimel of Toulouse has appointed a convicted rapist, Dominique Spina, as archdiocesan chancellor and episcopal delegate for marriages.

The priest was convicted in 2005 of the rape of a high school student in Pau, southwest France, in the Diocese of Bayonne, in 1993. The victim came from a troubled family background and believed he had a vocation to the priesthood. Spina became his spiritual director and carried out the abuse between 1992 and 1994. Spina initially prevented the young man from entering the diocesan seminary. However, he was eventually admitted and later reported the abuse to the seminary director. Shortly after the report, the victim was excluded from the seminary for “lack of maturity”. A complaint was filed in 2002, and Spina was taken into custody.
