Biography
François Robert Bacqué was born in Bordeaux, France, on 2 September 1936 and ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Bordeaux on 1 October 1966.[1] He completed a year of pastoral work at the parish of Notre-Dame d'Arcachon.[2]
Bacqué studied in Rome, Paris, and Toulouse, earning degrees in canon law and political science,[1] and completed the course of studies at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in 1967[3] and entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See in 1969. His early assignments included stints in the papal representatives' offices in China (1967–72), the Netherlands (1972–75), and Chile (1975–78); in Rome at the Secretariat of State and as a member of the Council for Public Affairs of the Church (1978–83); and then at the apostolic nunciatures in Portugal (1981–85) and Scandinavia (1985–88).[1][2] In Chile he served under the nuncio Angelo Sodano, later Secretary of State, during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Bacqué defended Sodano's record there, noting that the nunciature sheltered about thirty political refugees.[4]
Pope John Paul II appointed him titular archbishop of Gradisca and Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to Sri Lanka on 17 June 1988.[1] He received his episcopal consecration on 3 September 1988[2] from Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, the Secretary of State.Шаблон:Cn
