Matthieu Jasseron: When a former priest plays the guru and flirts with fraud

MJ (Matthieu Jasseron) continues to exploit his notoriety to market "spiritual and support services." He who has lost himself, one wonders who he will be able to enlighten?

Matthieu Jasseron, once officially a priest of the Catholic Church, distinguished himself with videos in which altars were reduced to mixing consoles and where the Word of the Gospel became nonsense for "Tik Tok fans" looking for everything and especially nothing, and he had many of them... more than a million fans on the social network. Today, he finally presents himself as what he has always been: a guru. Unlike a priest, who listens, advises, and serves freely, enlightened by the Gospel, Jasseron plays for himself, aligning his personal interests under the pretext of spiritual support.

Let's just say that Jasseron didn't find enough room in the ecclesiastical institution to satisfy his overflowing ego. So he converted to running a "small business," focused not on God or souls, but on himself and his profits. The proof? He sold his TikTok account—with its 1.2 million followers—instead of giving it away for free. Too aware of its market value to think about its spiritual value.

Scandalous videos by pro-LGBT Father Matthieu Jasseron...and the Vatican consults him...?

MJ (Matthieu Jasseron) continues to exploit his notoriety to market "spiritual and counseling services." Having lost his way, one wonders who he can enlighten?

Under the label of "spiritual counselor," he offers a range of services:

Individual meetings: "personalized" counseling for existential problems, with a maximum of six sessions. Rejuvenation retreats: three- to five-day retreats in "idyllic and eco-friendly" locations to "let your soul breathe."

Life tips: In his latest book, The Power of Kintsugi: Sublimate What Is Broken, he offers 124 tips for "transforming your fragility into strength."

But behind this facade lies a certain opacity. On his website, there is no legal notice, no general terms and conditions of sale, no clear pricing. In short, everything is done "the old-fashioned way," on a case-by-case basis, with a total lack of transparency.

After spitting on the Church, his bishop, and all those who didn't "understand" his journey, Jasseron is now flirting with fraud. Why? Because he continues to call himself "Father Matthieu," as evidenced by his contact email address: contact@perematthieu.fr, displayed on his website matthieujasseron.com.

A well-calculated strategy to reassure his "clients" with the title of "Father," while monetizing with "Matthieu," which has become a real trademark that he will certainly soon register with the INPI (National Institute of Intellectual Property)... business is business.

So, from the Church, he ultimately kept only what could still be profitable for him.

We see MJ (Matthieu Jasseron) on his website, sporting a three-day beard and a black T-shirt, like James Dean (he wore white T-shirts) or like Marlon Brando in his heyday (before he became obese); he seems to have his head in the clouds, the same clouds that illustrate his website... but where does that lead? Certainly not to heaven.

With his comfortable stays, tailored sessions, and personal development books, Matthieu Jasseron sells more than a service: he sells the illusion of spirituality, stripped of all demands and depth. By reducing faith to a consumer product, he betrays what he claims to defend.

Our judgment may seem harsh, but we are deeply scandalized to see such "spiritual scams" being built on the backs of the Church and the notoriety acquired on social media. While some transform faith into a lucrative business, so many priests operate in the shadows, caring for souls in the full exercise of their priesthood, quietly, without seeking glory, but with real effectiveness and, above all, free of charge. For God's gift is free! Everything else is a scam.

These new forms of spiritual guidance, which will surely one day slide into "guidance for the blossoming of sexuality," leave us more than perplexed. How far will Matthieu Jasseron go? At this rate, why not imagine seeing him one day settled in Cap d'Agde, continuing to "sublimate" everything that can still be monetized?
