Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of the archbishop of Paris after he admitted to an “ambiguous” relationship with a woman in 2012.
Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit prior to bless the city of Paris during the Holy Thursday celebration in front of the Sacre Coeur basilica, on April 9, 2020 in Paris. The archbishop of Paris said Thursday Dec.2, 2021 that Pope Francis has accepted his resignation after he admitted to an 'ambiguous' relationship with a woman in 2012.
The Vatican said in a statement that the pope accepted Aupetit’s offer, and named Monsignor Georges Pontier to serve temporarily in his place pending the pontiff's appointment of a permanent new archbishop. Previously, Francis has taken his time considering whether to accept a resignation offered as a result of scandal. In several cases — even ones that many would see as more egregious — he has rejected the offer outright and told the bishop to remain.
“Pope Francis is losing all legitimacy by this terrible lack of judgement,” Francois Devaux claimed. “This gentleman should read the Gospel again.” The timing of Aupetit's announcement was unusual as it came as the pope and the Vatican hierarchy were en route to Cyprus at the start of a five-day trip.
