Chibly Langlois (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃glwa]; born 29 November 1958) is a Haitian cardinal of the Catholic Church. He has served as Bishop of Les Cayes since 15 August 2011, and is also president of Haiti’s Bishops’ Conference.[citation needed]
Pope Francis elevated Langlois to the College of Cardinals on 22 February 2014.[3] As of February 2023, Langlois is the first and only Haitian cardinal in history. He was the only new cardinal elevated in the February 2014 consistory who was not an archbishop.[citation needed]
Biography
Langlois was born in 1958 in La Vallée in southeast Haiti to a poor family.[4] Langlois entered the Grand Séminaire Notre-Dame of Port-au-Prince in 1985, where he studied philosophy and theology. Years later, from 1994 to 1996, he studied at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome and obtained a licentiate in pastoral theology.[5]
He was ordained as priest for the diocese of Jacmel on 22 September 1991.[5][6]
On 8 April 2004 Langlois was appointed bishop of Fort-Liberté by Pope John Paul II.[7] On 15 August 2011 he was appointed bishop of Les Cayes by Pope Benedict XVI.[8]
When choosing to elevate Langlois to the College of Cardinals in 2014, Pope Francis bypassed many more senior Haitian bishops, including metropolitan archbishops Louis Kébreau and Guire Poulard.[9] At the time, Poulard was Langlois's superior in the ecclesiastical province of Port-au-Prince.
On 22 February 2014, Pope Francis appointed Langlois Cardinal-Priest of San Giacomo in Augusta.[10] This Roman church had never before been designated as the titular church of a Catholic cardinal. Cardinal Langlois took possession of his titular church on 7 June 2014.[11]
On 22 May 2014, Pope Francis appointed Cardinal Langlois a member of both the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Pontifical Commission for Latin America, and Secretariat for Communications.[12]
Langlois was injured during the 2021 Haiti earthquake. He was at the bishop's residence when it partially collapsed during the quake. Langlois survived, but a priest and two employees were killed.[13] On June 8, 2022, Langlois was injured in a serious car accident.[14]
