Éric de Moulins-Beaufort (born 30 January 1962) is a French prelate of the Catholic Church who has been a bishop since 2008 and the Metropolitan Archbishop of Reims since 2018. He was elected president of the Bishops' Conference of France in 2019.

Life

Éric de Moulins-Beaufort was born on 30 January 1962 in Landau in der Pfalz, Germany.[1] Descended from a noble family, his full name is Éric Marie de Moulins d'Amieu de Beaufort.

He was ordained to the priesthood on 29 June 1991.[1]

Pope Benedict XVI named him auxiliary bishop of Paris and titular bishop of Cresima on 21 May 2008.[1] He received his episcopal consecration on 5 September from André Vingt-Trois, Archbishop of Paris.

In 2013 he became head of the doctrinal commission of the Bishops' Conference of France.[2]

On 18 August 2018, Pope Francis named him Archbishop of Reims,[3] and he was installed there on 28 October.

On 14 March 2019, he participated in ceremonies inaugurating the Grand Mosque of Reims. When criticized for welcoming the growth of Islam in France, he wrote: "I would like Catholic men worried about the presence of Islam in our country to be as devoted to Mass or Eucharistic adoration as the men I saw at the mosque on a Thursday evening at the time of the prayer."[4]

He was elected president of the Bishops' Conference of France on 3 April 2019.[5]
