Priest-Influencer Don Alberto Ravagnani Suspends Priestly Ministry in Milan

The step follows months of tension over his social‑media persona, including a sponsored supplements reel.

Overview

  • The Archdiocese of Milan announced the suspension in a Curia note signed by Vicar General Monsignor Franco Agnesi and read at the evening Mass in San Gottardo al Corso.
  • Ravagnani no longer serves as parochial vicar and is no longer a collaborator for the diocesan youth ministry.
  • The communiqué invited the faithful to treat the moment as an occasion for prayer and accompaniment, and it said parish initiatives such as Thursday evening adoration will continue.
  • The announcement coincided with Ravagnani’s social posts promoting his new autobiographical book, titled “La scelta.”
  • Ravagnani built a large following across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, and his recent supplement promotion had prompted criticism and an informal conversation with the Curia.
