Dominique Marie Jean Rey (born 21 September 1952) is the Bishop of Fréjus-Toulon in the province of Marseille in southern France. He is a member of the Emmanuel Community,[1] and he is considered one of the more conservative French bishops.[2] He also frequently celebrates Tridentine Mass.[3] This has brought him under pressure from the Vatican in its campaign to suppress the Tridentine rite along with the theology associated with it.

Biography
Rey was born in Saint-Étienne on 21 September 1952. He served as curé of Ste. Trinité church in Paris from 1995 to 2000.[1]
On 16 May 2000, Pope John Paul II appointed him Bishop of Fréjus-Toulon.[1] He received his episcopal consecration on 17 September 2000 from Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger.
On 18 September 2012, Bishop Rey was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to participate in the October 2012 13th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization.[4][5]
He is the author of a book that argues that being a Catholic and a Freemason[lower-alpha 1] are incompatible.
In June 2013, he organized a four-day conference on sacred liturgy at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.[6][lower-alpha 2]
On 6 February 2014, Pope Francis named him a consultor to the Pontifical Council for the Laity.[8]
In August 2015, breaking with the policy of the Conference of French Bishops, he invited Marion Maréchal-Le Pen a prominent National Front member of the French parliament, to participate on a panel of politicians in his diocese.[2][9] Rey defended the invitation: "The FN is a party like any other on the political chessboard. You have to be realistic, don't cover your eyes and ears!"[10]
Within the Bishop's Conference of France he is a member of the episcopal finance commission.[11]
Notes
- ↑ The nature of Continental Freemasonry in France differ significantly from those mainly operating in the English-speaking world, so called Regular Freemasonry.
- ↑ The monk Rey tasked with managing the conference described its overarching theme: "We hope to give further impetus to the “new liturgical movement,” something that has spread throughout the Church in recent years and which encompasses a desire to implement the liturgical reforms called for by the Second Vatican Council more faithfully as well as an openness to the riches of the pre-conciliar liturgy. Both of these have much to give in sustaining our Christian life and mission today, and both have their rightful place in the life of the Church. At the conference we will celebrate solemn Mass and Vespers in both forms."[7]
Distinctions
- Prelate Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Lazarus (statuted 1910) (2017).[12]
