Bishop Rey


LeFigaro.fr (June 2) has details on Francis’ [unprecendented] decision to forbid the June ordinations of six deacons and four priests in famous Fréjus-Toulon Diocese (600’000 Catholics), three weeks (!) before they were supposed to happen. No new date was set. Toulon Bishop Dominique Rey, 69, has been the local ordinary for 22 years. Highlights.

• Rey – a member of the charismatic Emmanuel Community - has transformed his diocese into a laboratory of evangelisation by welcoming priests from all over the world, as well as some thirty French and foreign communities without fearing diversity and Roman Rite Communities.

• Rey’s seminary (fifty seminarians) is the biggest diocesan seminary in France.

• Priestly vocations have been at the centre of Rey’s action.

• Tiny Toulon has 250 active priests (Paris: 500): 75% are under 64 years old, 30% under 44.

• A source close to Rey called the Roman decision “brutal” stressing that the ordinandi “do not pose any difficulty.”

• A 2021 visitation by Marseilles’ Neo-Cardinal Aveline was motivated by the 2020 reorganisation of the seminary. The then-director was unhappy about his replacement and accused Rey in Rome of a “traditionalist drift.” Rome was only too happy to oblige.

• Another issue is the reception of seminarians from outside the diocese which causes the envy of other French bishops and is an open accusation of those [anti-Catholic] bishops whose seminarians run away from them.

• A well-placed source explains Francis’ brutal approach with "Bishop Rey's openness to the traditionalist option which has now been targeted and fought for a year throughout the Church of France on the orders of Rome and the Pope."

The end of this is predictable: the removal of Bishop Rey and bringing the diocese into line.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
