It is with sorrow that we announce the recall to God of M. Joël MORIN.
Born on September 29, 1965, on the feast of the Archangel Saint Michael, the Good Lord called him back to Himself on August 16, 2022, following a long cancer that he endured with resignation.
He taught true history for many years at the Foyer Saint-Thomas in Avrillé, after having distanced himself from the teaching and pedagogy of certain so-called traditional schools.
Passionate about his subject, he did everything he could to try to pass on the counter-revolutionary spirit to young people, so much so that he knew that the revolution was able to embed itself in people's souls by means of a bad teaching of history.
In this spirit of Catholic historian, with a great sense of duty and discretion, he collaborated with the [Avrille Dominican] review
Le Sel de la Terre by writing many historical and apologetic articles under various pen names, in particular on the Jєωιѕн question (Michel Laurigan:
La chronologie d'un engrenage - L'Eglise et la ѕуηαgσgυє) or the question of Protestantism (
Le protestantisme assassin). He helped the Dominican fathers of Avrillé to organize the
Journées Jean Vaquié; he also regularly organized trips to the Vendée with young people to help them understand, on the ground, the extent of the Catholic struggle to save the Catholic state. His heart was also very Roman since he often went to Rome with school children. He loved to help them discover the foundations and the rock of Christian civilization.
In the midst of his students in the Vendée
Very attached to the work of safeguarding the priesthood undertaken by Archbishop Lefebvre, he had understood very well the drama of the rallying of the SSPX in 2012 and followed closely the current events of the Catholic resistance. We talked about it every time we met and he was worried about whether this front of resistance was strengthening or weakening, so attached was he to true civilization. It is quite possible that this concern about the weakness of the Catholic reaction to the liberal policies and the collapse of our civilization could have had fatal consequences on his health, so sensitive was he.
But God will know how to reward this valiant Catholic for having known how to fight the good fight until the end of his earthly life.
The funeral of our dear friend will take place at the Haye-aux-Bonshommes Convent in Avrillé on Monday, August 22 at 10:00 a.m., on the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
