Ulrich Nominated to Paris

Francis transferred Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, 70, from Lille (2008-2022) to Paris confirming earlier information.

His predecessor, Archbishop Aupetit, 71, (2018-2021), a medical doctor, retired less than five months ago after a controversial relationship with a woman a decade ago.

Ulrich has been a past vice-president of France's bishops. He is a vocal advocate for illegal immigration who insults those who criticise this irresponsible policy as “xenophobic.”

He has spoken out for migrants, shown concern for the victims of sexual abuse and called for a more synodal, listening church.

He’s 70 — so, a bishop of transition, just 5 years.
