Natalis Pinot

Natalis Pinot (born December 19, 1747 in Angers , France , † February 21, 1794 ibid) was a French priest and martyr .

Pinot refused to take the oath on the civil constitution of the clergy of the French Revolution and condemned his bishop, who had taken the oath; thereupon the pastor was removed from office. When he returned three years later, he was arrested at the celebration of a holy mass, brought to Angers and there publicly beheaded on February 21, 1794.

Pinot's beatification took place on October 10, 1926 by Pope Pius XI.
