Dominique Marie Jean Rey (born 21 September 1952) is the Bishop of Fréjus-Toulon in the province of Marseille in southern France. He is a member of the Emmanuel Community,[1] and he is considered one of the more conservative French bishops.[2] He also frequently celebrates Tridentine Mass.[3] He has been criticized for ordaining priests who have failed to qualify for the priesthood in their home countries, failing to supervise religious communities he has established, and for inadequate action against sex abusers in his diocese.[4]
