Who is Jacques Gaillot?

Jacques Jean Edmond Georges Gaillot is a French Catholic clergyman and social activist. He was Bishop of Évreux in France from 1982 to 1995. In 1995, by decision of Pope John Paul II, he was demoted to be Titular Bishop of Partenia, an extinct diocese, for having expressed too controversial and heterodox positions on religious, political and social matters.

In reason of these views he earned the popular nickname of The Red Cleric.
