Father Jean-Baptiste Sèbe, 38, a priest of the Rouen Archdiocese, France, committed suicide on September 18 after he was accused of sexual misdemeanour against an adult woman, three years ago. Nevertheless, French oligarch media keep calling her a “young girl”.
No charge was brought against the priest who hung himself in the attic of his church.
During a press conference, Rouen Archbishop Lebrun told the public that he had received Sèbe a day before his death. He confessed his misdeed to him . The acts were likely not of a criminal nature.
Father Sèbe was the oldest of a big family. Ordained in 2005 he became the parish-priest of a run-down liberal parish in Rouen which he was able to revive. He was involved in the Scout d’Europe and also taught at the Institut Catholique in Paris, having written a doctorate about Hans Urs von Balthasar.
Last Saturday, three days before his death, he preached in front of hundreds of Scouts d’Europe about “Take up your cross and follow me.” Sèbe’s suicide …More

What a sadness that he felt such despair. He did not know the Lord's mercy.

@CarolineA03 I think they meant no charges of sexual abuse were brought against him.

Is this definitely a suicide? It says "No charges" were brought against him.

....also, Why is the Confessional Seal being broken? It is forbidden by Canon Law to do so - it leads to a Priest being defrocked.

To sum up.....It's not a common occurrence for a Priest to "commit suicide." Or for others to just assume he has done so. It says elsewhere on the internet that this Priest wowed everyone with an inspired homily just 3 days before the alleged "suicide" - which indicates that the Holy Spirit was with him and He doesn't go that easily if the Priest is willing to speak the Lord's words. 😉
It just doesn't add up.
