Guy Riobé

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guy Riobé (1911-1978); was a mid-twentieth century bishop of Orleans, France (1963 -1978). He held liberal, progressive views influenced by the climate of Vatican II and became prominent because of an altercation with Admiral Sanguinetti over France's possession of a nuclear deterrent. He died following a swimming accident. His successor, Jean-Marie Lustiger, avoided any reference to Riobé during his installation after a fifteen-month interregnum (1979).
