Eugène Arnaud
Eugène Arnaud (born September 11, 1834 in Roquevaire , † June 17, 1905 in Brignoles ) was a French Roman Catholic clergyman and bishop .
life and career
The priest
Aloys-Joseph-Eugène Arnaud grew up with his priestly uncle in La Ciotat , attended the Catholic high school and the seminary in Marseille and was ordained a priest in 1858. He was chaplain in four different parishes in Marseille and in 1867 he was pastor in La Penne-sur-Huveaune , in 1873 in the parish of Sainte-Marguerite in the 9th arrondissement of Marseille , and later in Cassis . At the end of 1899 he was appointed Bishop of Fréjus and took office in early 1900.
The bishop
Arnaud's brief tenure until 1905 coincided with the height of the Third Republic's disempowerment of the Catholic Church in France . He saw the expulsion of all male and many female congregations from his diocese. Sixty schools went into state hands. Although he remained loyal to the state, for which he was rewarded with the Legion of Honor in 1902, the events sapped his health. He died a few months before the law separating church and state, at the age of 70, and was buried in the Cathedral of Fréjus .
Motto
His episcopal motto was: In caelestibus, in Christo (Our fellowship with Christ in heaven) ( Ephesians 1.3)
