Fr. Michael DeSaye
Rev. Michael G. DeSaye, originally ordained a priest in the Diocese of Trenton, New Jersey, on June 2, 2018, has since become a Roman Catholic priest within the sedevacantist tradition. He concluded that his initial ordination was invalid because it was performed by a non-bishop, specifically a Modernist layman, rather than a valid Roman Catholic bishop, and that the Novus Ordo Church he served was a counterfeit institution. After resigning from the Diocese of Trenton in May 2021, he was received into the sedevacantist movement and pursued studies at Most Holy Trinity Seminary in Brooksville, Florida. He was ordained a deacon and later a priest on June 29, 2022, by sedevacantist bishops Donald Sanborn and Joseph Selway, marking his transition from a Novus Ordo priest to a Roman Catholic priest according to his understanding of the faith. Since his ordination, he has been active in preaching, including delivering sermons such as "Ignorance and Faith" in 2024.
