Francis Ernest Charles Gigot (1859– June 14, 1920)[1] was a French Catholic priest and Sulpician who published many religious books.
[2] Born in Indre, France in 1859, Gigot was educated at the seminary in Limoges before attending the Institut Catholique de Paris, where he was a student of the liberal Alfred Loisy.
[1] A respected Scripture scholar, he contributed articles to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the American Ecclesiastical Review, the Irish Theological Quarterly, and the New York Review.
Gigot held revisionist views of Scripture and the Sulpician leadership in Paris wanted Rector Father James Francis Driscoll to rein Gigot in.
Driscoll and Gigot "chafed against the scholasticism which they refused to see as exhaustive of orthodoxy".
