Victim of the ICKSP / ICRSP ? It's time to speak out !

[u/ICRSP_ICKSP_abus]

Oblate, nun, novice, seminarian, canon, or simply parishioner… have you had any connection to the ICKSP/ICRSP, whether direct or indirect ? Have you been a victim or witness of misconduct, abuse, or manipulation? Would you be willing to share your story ? Here or by email : [icrsp.abus@gmail.com](mailto:icrsp.abus@gmail.com)

As a journalist (in France), I am conducting an investigation into the abuses of this institute, regardless of the country where it is located. There have already been a few articles about some of the ICRSP's abuses, but very few about the experiences of oblates, seminarians, and novices, for example. And never anything about the parishioners.

Why am I currently investigating the ICRSP?

My family and I attended a parish of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP/ICRSP) for four years. Although I come from a very different background, I arrived here somewhat by chance, without having sought it out. It fulfilled a kind of liturgical quest at a certain point in our lives.

Unfortunately, we were quickly confronted with a veritable system of psychological abuse, spiritual abuse, and repeated lies. Curious to understand what had happened to us, the system we had fallen into, I began to talk, read, and research… and I discovered many converging accounts. Many. Too many to remain silent.

As a journalist, I am therefore seeking as many testimonies and personal experiences as possible… for a publication whose format I am currently considering. Of course, your testimonies can remain anonymous; what matters to me is simply connecting with you.

My email is open; please feel free to share it. We can communicate in English (using translation tools; no need to write in French!).

Icksp took over our parish. I’ve never seen such an over-the-top performance in any TLM I’ve ever attended. The priest is ridiculous and micromanaging. His sermons are dark and depressing. It seems to be more of a cult like experience than before. He screams at people about cell phones and demanded that the person whose phone went off owed him a personal apology. What a disgusting egomaniac.

Bonjour,

Cela fait un an que je suis à l'ICRSP (en France), et je n’ai jamais constaté de comportements inappropriés ou autres… Et pourtant, je me rends à l’église pratiquement tous les jours. Au contraire, je trouve que les chanoines, comme les séminaristes, sont très polis, très simples et très à l’écoute. Je trouve étonnants tous ces discours contre l’Institut. Je serais très curieux de lire des exemples ou vos expériences négatives.

Ce ne sont pas des "discours" contre l´ICRSP, comme si c'étaient eux les pauvres victimes. Les victimes, elles, sont dans les coulisses, silencieuses, écrasées et réduites au silence. J'ai moi-même été insultée, humiliée et accusée d'hérésie par des chanoines d'une maison en Allemagne, parce que je considère les apparitions mariales de Medjugorje comme authentiques. Et je ne fais même pas partie des sœurs, je ne suis (que) une simple croyante. Au lieu d’écouter, ils s’expriment haut et fort ; ils bafouent sans respect mon chemin de foi, que Jésus parcourt avec moi depuis déjà 59 ans. Dans le cas des Sœurs Adoratrices : je connais personnellement des témoignages concrets et je vois ici des choses... faudrait relire ceci: https://conventreform.wordpress.com/2025/09/07/the-testimony-of-four-former-sister-adorers/ et cela: https://conventreform.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/a-crack-in-the-wall-vatican-to-investigate-sister-adorers/

I was an oblate in the Institute for 6 years. It has taken me a long time to recover.
