Éric Aumonier (bishop)

Éric Aumonier (born 22 February 1946) is a French prelate of the Catholic Church who was the Bishop of Versailles from 2001 to 2020.

He earned a licenciate in philosophy and a doctorate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University while living at the French Seminary in Rome.

[4] He was consecrated a bishop on 11 October of that year[2] by the Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger; the co-consecrators were the Secretary for Relations with States in the Vatican Secretariat of State, Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, and the Auxiliary Bishop of Paris, André Vingt-Trois.

[3] Within the French Episcopal Conference he was a member of the commission for ordained ministry and the laity in service to the Church.

[5] Aumonier said he had submitted his resignation a few weeks earlier than his 75th birthday as required because he lacked "sufficient energy" to continue as bishop.
