IN BRIEF

• Jean-Marie Le Pen died on January 7, 2025
• A few months before his death, he received the last rites of the Catholic religion
• One of his daughters then lost his temper with the priest

Jean-Marie Le Pen died at the age of 96 on January 7, 2025. According to our colleagues at Parisien, the politician who had retired from public life for several years received the last Catholic religious sacrament, extreme unction, on November 14.

While he was hospitalized in Saint-Cloud, in the Hauts-de-Seine, he received a visit from Father Philippe Laguérie, who was the priest of the Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnay church in the 1980s. A man he knew well since it was he who married him to Jany Le Pen in 2021. “ He was very weak but received the sacraments with great joy,” Father Laguérie told Le Parisien.

One of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s daughters had a heated argument with Father Laguérie

But for Marine Le Pen’s sister, Yann, things did not go as planned. For her, the religious man should no longer have any connection with his father. Indeed, “When he came to the hospital, he ran into Yann Le Pen with whom they had an altercation”, says a former close friend of Jean-Marie Le Pen.

“His daughters are blocking the way, citing health reasons. I leave that assessment to them”, replies Philippe Laguérie. In reality, according to several people close to her, Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter does not have the abbot in her heart for completely different reasons. It was he who baptized Dieudonné's daughter, of whom Jean-Marie Le Pen was godfather, and who celebrated the funeral of former militiaman Paul Touvier.

But Jean-Marie Le Pen was very close to this priest considered fundamentalist: “according to several sources close to the family, Philippe Laguérie had already granted extreme unction several years ago to Jean-Marie Le Pen at his home in Rueil-Malmaison.
