The Archdiocese of Miami announced Tuesday that one of its priests fathered a child from a former relationship, but that he would remain in service of his parishioners.

According to Archdiocese spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta, Monsignor Chanel Jeanty, 49, pastor of St. James Catholic Church since 2015, learned in December that he fathered a child from a relationship with a woman that ended over a year ago.

Locally, the message in Jeanty’s case is one of “forgiveness,” said Agosta in an email to the Miami Herald.

“The Catholic Church’s preaches what Jesus Christ has taught us, forgiveness, and it is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation and in personal life experiences, with face-to-face conversations, that one asks and grants forgiveness,” Agosta said.

“It is Msgr. Chanel Jeanty’s prayer and hope that what he has been able to teach and have the St. James Catholic Church parishioners experience forgiveness, this now will be extended to him. Msgr. Jeanty has asked God for forgiveness, and now, Msgr. Jeanty now asks his parishioners and Catholics of the Archdiocese of Miami to forgive him,” Agosta said in her email.

Jeanty can continue to minister to his parishioners, Agosta said.

People are people. Don't judge.
Wonder what his girlfriend looks like though.

They really need to get rid of that silly vow of celibacy and let these men have families

at least the verb is "fathered"

Haitian dude getting it in with the parishioners.

Maybe some of these priests wouldn’t be out here messing with kids if they can openly have a relationship with women

catholics correct me if im wrong but arent preist supposed to keep themselves pure, and also if you have a child you are married to this person?

not happening clerical celibacy has been a thing for centuries they knew the game before they signed up.

Kiss Land said not happening clerical celibacy has been a thing for centuries they knew the game before they signed up.

In this era it does more damage than good for the church.

It wasn't always a thing. It came into force so that priests would stop passing church property to their chlidren.

It's all bullsh*t anyway but I'd rather they fu*k grown women than r*pe kids.

A lifetime vow of celibacy…

priests pastors church folk party in Miami why is this being blasted

They need to get rid of this whole man made religion altogether....the Catholic church is nowhere written in the bible. They're the main ones that white washed history, and re-told the stories

On a lot of avenues that is factually incorrect...

for instance, the Catholics recite the lords prayer as it is written in the new testament, in the book of Mathew.

Tounw said catholics correct me if im wrong but arent preist supposed to keep themselves pure, and also if you have a child you are married to this person?

The rule to remain celibate is a Catholic rule, not in the Bible.
The act of fornication, s*x with a woman you are not married to, is a sin in the Bible.
It's rare, but priests do leave their job and get married.

Catholic Church

Church of the Edomites. They got a special place in Hell.

Are you saying that Matthews is in the old testament?

that was my mistake. Matthews and Luke are the gospels, new testament

The black priest ain't with that man boy love


If you gone creep, at least do it this way.

.... So do you want expound on how my statement was facrually incorrect, or was that a mistake too?

it is factually incorrect because the Catholic version of the our father is as written in the bible and does not contain the doxology like the Protestant version which is written nowhere in the bible.

God put us on earth to breed, lifetime celibacy doesn’t even make a lick of sense lmao

So the fact that they can read makes them legit?... How about the fact that that prayer actually prophesies their ultimate end... Like I said, Catholics are not in the bible, because they're not a part of God's will.

In the prayer, it states that "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"... When you get to the end of the bible in the book of Revelation, it gives a description of heaven

Revelation 21:10-12 [10]And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, [11]Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; [12]And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: Revelation 11:1-2 [1]And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. [2]But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

All these made up religions that pick and chooses what they want to believe in the bible, are not even mentioned... Only people that are written in the bible that are found in heaven are the 12 tribes of Israel, God's chosen people that was lost but gathered back at the end of the world... It literally tells you that the gentiles, which is a word for the other nations that are not Israelites, are without...
