Tony Anatrella

Tony Anatrella is a French psychotherapist and a priest of the Catholic Church. He has specialized in the study of adolescent sexuality and homosexuality. He has opposed civil privileges for homosexuals and the ordination of homosexuals to the Catholic priesthood. He holds appointments as an advisor to departments of the Roman Curia and has been called the "psy de l'Église”, roughly "Church shrink". After allegations of sexual misconduct from male patients he would receive for counseling, a canonical investigation was launched in the Diocese of Paris by local bishop Mgr. Aupetit, leading to Anatrella being barred in mid 2018 from exercing any ministry as a priest in the Catholic Church.
