French Prelate Offers Requiem for Freemason Senator, Mocking Canon Law and Christ’s Kingship
The National Catholic Register reports that Archbishop Antoine Hérouard of Dijon presided over the funeral Mass of Senator François Patriat, a publicly avowed Freemason and architect of France’s euthanasia and abortion legislation, on August 25, 2026. This scandal occurs mere weeks after the Diocese of Rome and the Diocese of Ventimiglia-San Remo denied ecclesiastical funerals to two Italian Freemasons, citing Canon 1184 and the 1983 CDF declaration. The Archdiocese of Dijon has offered no explanation. President Macron, champion of the “end of life” law and constitutional abortion, delivered a eulogy inside the church. This episode is not an anomaly but the logical fruit of a counterfeit church that has replaced the social reign of Christ the King with the civil religion of Masonic humanism.
