François-Wolff Ligondé

François-Wolff Ligondé (January 17, 1928 in Les Cayes – April 8, 2013) was a Haitian Roman Catholic archbishop of the Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Ordained to the priesthood in 1954, he was named archbishop in 1966 and retired in 2008.[1]

Ligondé was a close ally of President Jean-Claude Duvalier and the uncle of his wife Michèle Bennett.[2] He presided over their "opulent cathedral wedding" in 1980 which was broadcast live to the nation.[3]

In January 1991, Ligondé reportedly "fled into the night clad only in undershorts" when mobs attacked the Port-au-Prince Cathedral during a coup attempt against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. He had previously been a critic of Aristide, comparing the government to a Bolshevik dictatorship. This statement was "seen as giving the green light for the coup". Ligondé and other church leaders subsequently went into hiding.[4]

Ligondé died on 8 April 2013.[5]
