Priest stabbed by muslim during morning mass at Montreal's Saint Joseph's Oratory

[OneHungLo]

A priest at Montreal's renowned Saint Joseph's Oratory was stabbed in the chest Friday while delivering morning mass, shocking parishioners and those watching a live stream of the service from home.

The suspect was quickly wrestled to the floor by security guards after stabbing Father Claude Grou, rector of the oratory. The priest was taken away by ambulance with minor injuries to his upper body.

"I saw this man coming quickly and taking his knife out and going straight for Père Grou," recounted Adèle Plamondon, who was just finishing the day's reading when the man rose from the pew.

"It was obvious what his intentions were. So, I left screaming to alert the security."

Afterward, she saw the man on the floor being restrained. The attack was captured on a live stream and television broadcast by the Catholic channel Salt + Light.

She said she spoke to Grou before he was taken to hospital. He was slashed twice and was in shock but seemed to be OK otherwise, Plamondon said.

She said the priest's wounds were superficial because the knife broke.

Philip Barrett, who was attending the mass along with about 60 people, said the priest was behind the altar, getting ready to proclaim the gospel, when a tall man stood up from one of the pews and started walking forward.

"He walked past the barrier leading into the sanctuary near the altar, and everyone was just initially wondering what was going on, and some people were starting to react a little bit," he said.

"And he walked directly behind the altar and seemed to strike the priest."

Both Plamondon and Barrett described the attacker as a tall, slim man who didn't say anything. Both said they had not seen him at the church before.

Priest transported to hospital by ambulance
A spokesperson for the first responder agency Urgences-santé, Benoit Garneau, said Grou was conscious while being transported to hospital.

The injury was to his chest, he said, but he could not say whether there was more than one stab wound.

A 911 call was made at 8:40 a.m., and the suspected attacker was already being held by security when police arrived, said Montreal police spokesperson Const. Caroline Chèvrefils.

The man, who is 26, was taken into custody and will be interviewed by investigators later today, she said.

Police say he isn't expected to be charged until Saturday at the earliest.

Oratory spokesperson Céline Barbeau said while she believes current security measures are sufficient, there will be a review in the wake of the attack.

She said there are no plans to start searching visitors or install metal detectors, because it would go against their mission.

'I wish him a speedy recovery,' says mayor
The Montreal archdiocese issued a tweet saying the priest's condition was stable and "all of our prayers are with him."

"We are all shocked by this act of violence that has taken place in our city, in a space dedicated to peace," Christian Lépine, Archbishop of Montreal, said in a statement.

"We know that places of worship of many religions are targets of acts of violence. We must continue to follow the path of peace and love, believing that good will overcome evil through prayer and good works."

In a tweet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent his best wishes to the priest.

"What a horrible attack at Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal this morning. Father Claude Grou, Canadians are thinking of you and wishing you a swift recovery."


Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante says this type of attack has no place in the city.

"I am relieved to learn that the life of Father Claude Grou, rector of the [Oratory], is out of danger and that his condition is stable," she tweeted.

"On behalf of all Montrealers, I wish him speedy recovery."

Architecturally, the oratory is the largest church in Canada. Its construction was complete in 1967 on Mount Royal and its dome, one of the largest in the world, can be seen from across Montreal.

Following the stabbing, the suspect dropped the knife and stood up as members of the congregation ran towards him. Three men restrained the attacker while other people went to help Grou who appeared to stand up on his own.

Lurie reported that the assailant slashed Grou in his stomach and the knife broke during the attack.

Here's a lesson from someone that lived the hippy dippy peace and love crap of the 60s.

The more people walk this path of "peace and love" the more shit like this happens. The only way to stop crazies and extremists is through strength and vigilance.

[Acepimp]

Thanks, Trudeau!

I caught this in the news.

When I was a kid we had a summer home outside of Montreal, and we spent our summers there. We went there all the time as a kid. It was cheap entertainment - We would do McDonald's and then go tour a new part of the church or the grounds. I remember they had walls and walls of cruthes and wheelchairs and the like - people who cured....

Nowhere in the article does it say that the attacker was a Muslim. The picture that OneGungLo included in his post is not of the attacker nor of the priest who was attacked.

LOL! Shut the fuck up you stupid old scared idiot. I'd rather live in the hippy-dippy peace and love world than the everyone-hating old fart that is your world any day of the week. The world is a beautiful place and your fear is keeping you indoors and afraid and alone. Have a nice day screaming "get off my lawn" you dumb fool.

Where'd it say the attacker was Muslim?

No we havent. This nation has been 90%+ white European since its start. Do you really think we would have gotten this far if we were 33% hispanic 33% black and 33% white?

Please. Diversity and multiculturalism are an utter failure.

What I've noticed is that people tend to stick within their own groups. So we end up with neighborhoods of Negros, Arabs, etc. No matter how you call it, people like to stick with their own kind.

Plus I've noticed that every time minorities move into an area property values fall and white people leave.

The attacker has been identified as Vlad Cristian Eremia

Hmm...odd name for an Muslim, huh?

[dillfly2000]

If the priest died, would it be considered "Mass" murder?

[MaDalton]

Vlad Cristian Eremia, the 26 year old involved in the stabbing of Father Claude Grou during mass appeared before a judge today and was charged with assault with a weapon.

Rev. Grou also left the hospital earlier today after suffering minor injuries from the attack which was live streamed at St. Joseph’s Oratory.

No known motives have been revealed for Eremia’s attack and a psychological assessment has been ordered by the crown.

Another lie spread by one brain low - why are people like him allowed on this board?

I guess we'll have to scratch this one off.

So now 3 months into the year we're at 4̶0̶4 403 Islamic attacks in 34 countries, with 2256 people were killed and 2182 injured.

OK, sweaty?

I live in a town of 50k people, and we don't have "neighborhoods" of certain races. Our entire town is a melting pot.

We do have one Mexican restaurant in town that only Mexicans go to; Every time I go in there I am the only white cracker in there.

Because scared people like you are afraid of anything and anyone who is "other". In my neighbourhood I have white people, black people, arabic, Italians, Greeks, and a lesbian couple, all on one block.

You know how I know this? Because we go outside and hang out on our street. The kids play with RC cars, the adults share bottles of wine. We all talk to each other, welcome each other to the neighbourhood. We have dinners, we have pool parties, we have cigar parties.

Go outside and and say hello to your black neighbours. You will help make your neighbourhood a better place and you'll stop being so scared and miserable all the time.

Hey OneHungLo, why did you say the attacker was a Muslim? And why did you use a fake photo of him?

Because muslims have slaughtered 6k Christians this year. Figured this was 6000 +1.

And that makes it ok for you to lie to your fellow adult peeps here?

(And on a side note, aren't Cristians responsible for most wars?)

I live in a city of more than 1 million people.

We've got neighborhoods of Arabs (and other Islamic people), black district, Chinese people town, 2 Jewish sections, 2 cheap "hetero" hooker areas and 1 tranny whore street, and lastly, the entire city tends to be divided with the French on the eastside and the English in the westside.

I guess where you live is better than where I do.
