Henri Delassus (April 12, 1836 – October 6, 1921) was a French Roman Catholic priest and writer. A member of La Sapinière, he espoused intransigent integralist views in his various books and his weekly newspaper, Semaine religieuse de Cambrai. Delassus was one of the main proponents of Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory and remains an influential author among French far-right circles.[1]
Delassus was ordained at Cambrai in 1862 and made a chaplain of the Basilica Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille in 1874. In 1904 he was given a domestic prelature and became pronotary apostolic in 1911. Later, in 1914 he became dean of the Lille Cathedral's chapter.[citation needed]
From 1872 he collaborated with the journal Semaine religieuse de Cambrai, of which he became owner and director in 1875. His funeral was held at the Cathedral of Lille 10 October 1921 and he was buried at his family pantheon at Fournes-en-Weppes.[citation needed]
