ELEVEN ANGRY EX-MONKS ROLLING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO THROW THEIR ABBOT IN THE TRUNK OF THEIR CAR AND TAKE OVER THE MONASTERY, WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING
Take control
According to the local prosecutor, the case is linked to the tensions surrounding the leadership of the abbey. On the evening of the kidnapping, a group of eleven dissident monks arrived at the monastery.
"They reportedly proposed a new organizational structure within the monastery with the aim of taking control," said the prosecutor. It is said to involve monks from Bellaigue Abbey who had left the monastery some time before.
Bellaigue Abbey is not in the news for the first time.
The community was for a long time affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSP), an ultraconservative movement that opposes reforms within the Church. In early July, the Vatican excommunicated this fraternity after four priests were ordained as bishops without papal permission.
