BARDEL, CLAUDE. - Bishop, b. at Thiers on 23 Feb. 1851, d. at Séez on 16 Feb. 1926. A priest in 1874, vicar general of the dioceses of Clermont and of Bourges in 1891 and 1893, auxiliary bishop with the title of Parium in 1894, residential bishop of Séez on 14 Apr. 1897; he cultivated with passion the deep religiosity of his diocesans and the high cultural and spiritual level of his clergy. The object of harsh persecutions at the rupture of the Concordat, expelled from the bishop's residence and gravely struck by the closure of his seminary, he managed by makeshift means to reorganize the institutes for the formation of the clergy, also laying the foundations of flourishing institutions for the defense of religious interests, for the penetration of Christian social ideals, and above all for the intensified expansion of the free Catholic school, manifesting his apostolic and charitable spirit especially on the occasion of the First World War.
