Jacques Jean Edmond Georges Gaillot (born 11 September 1935; ; generally known in French as Monseigneur Gaillot) is a French Catholic clergyman and social activist. He was Bishop of Évreux in France from 1982 to 1995. In 1995, by decision of Pope John Paul II, he was demoted to be Titular Bishop of Partenia, an extinct diocese, for having expressed too controversial and heterodox positions on religious, political and social matters. In reason of these views he earned the popular nickname of ''The Red Cleric''.〔Reuters.(French Against Vatican Sacking of "Red Cleric" ) 17 January 1995〕 ==Education and early career== Jacques Gaillot was born in Saint-Dizier, Haute-Marne.
