Jean-Louis Bruguès, OP (born 22 November 1943) is a French archbishop of the Catholic Church. He was the Archivist and Librarian of the Holy Roman Church from 2012 to 2018.
Bruguès was born at Bagnères de Bigorre, in the diocese of Tarbes and Lourdes. He studied at the Faculty of Law of Montpellier (1960-1963) and the Faculty of Arts of Madrid (1963-1964), graduating with Law and Economics degrees. He graduated from the School of Political Science in 1966 with a degree in Political Science. He was selected for the entrance exam to the elite École nationale d'administration, but instead completed a doctorate in theology.
He entered the Dominicans as a novice in Lille (1968-1969). He made his first religious profession on 29 September 1969 and took his solemn vows as a Dominican in 1972. He was ordained a priest on 22 June 1975 in Toulouse.
Bruguès served as prior of the Dominican priories of Toulouse and Bordeaux, and later provincial of the Province of Toulouse. He was also professor of fundamental moral theology at the Catholic Institute of Toulouse and then taught the same subject at the University of Fribourg, where he held the chair in fundamental moral theology from 1997 to 2000.
In October 2009 he was named a consultor to the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.[2] Since 19 November 2009, he has been a consultor of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.[3]
On 26 June 2012, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him the Archivist and Librarian of the Holy Roman Church.[4] In March 2014 he announced that the Vatican Library was digitizing approximately 3000 handwritten manuscripts and considering extending the project to cover all its holdings.[5]
Bruguès served as President of the Organizing Committee of the Vatican Foundation Joseph Ratzinger - Benedict XVI for the Symposium on "The Gospels: History and Christology - Research of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI", which was held at the Pontifical Lateran University on 24–26 October 2013.[6]
