Guy Étienne Germain Gaucher, OCD (5 March 1930 – 3 July 2014) was a French Catholic Discalced Carmelite bishop and theologian. He served as Bishop of Meaux and was an international authority on the life and writings of Thérèse of Lisieux.
Born in Tournan-en-Brie, he was ordained a priest on 17 March 1963 and made his religious profession into the order of Discalced Carmelites on 3 October 1968. He was named Bishop of Meaux, 27 August 1986, consecrated on 19 October 1986 by the archbishop of Paris, cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger. A few months later, 7 May 1987, he was named auxiliary bishop of Bayeux-Lisieux in residence at Lisieux. He remained in this post until 1 July 2005 at which time he retired having reached the age limit.[1]
At first a specialist in the writings of Georges Bernanos, he subsequently devoted his attention to the personality and writings of Thérèse of Lisieux.[2] Amongst his many editorial works, he notably participated in the centenary Edition of the works of Thérèse.[3]
Gaucher died on 3 July 2014 at the age of 84.[4]
