  • Entretien Avec Mgr Luc RAVEL
    Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace – Dimanche 02 juillet 2017 – Myriam AÏT-SIDHOUM Entretien-- Rencontre avec le nouvel archevêque du diocèse de Strasbourg : Mgr Luc RAVEL par lui-même De parachutiste à prêtre, des huiles et moteurs au saint chrême, Mgr Luc RAVEL a forgé un style aussi direct que personnel. L’archevêque de Strasbourg ne sacrifie pas sa liberté de dire à sa position hiérarchique. Pour qui a croisé Luc RAVEL depuis son installation en Alsace ou entendu une de ses homélies, c’est assez net : son style vif décoiffe. Il accroche l’attention et peut faire s’esclaffer une assemblée de fidèles. L’archevêque de Strasbourg accueille avec chaleur et intérêt, plante son regard droit dans les yeux de son interlocuteur, a le sourire (et le tutoiement) facile. Avenant, décontracté, il ne s’embarrasse ni des salamalecs ni des précautions langagières d’usage. Une liberté de ton qui doit lui valoir autant de soutiens enthousiastes que d’inimitiés. Ainsi, lors de notre entretien, lorsqu’il cite sa vertu préférée, le courage, c’est pour ajouter aussitôt : « C’est celle que je vois le moins, en particulier chez les ecclésiastiques, en particulier chez les responsables… ». Autre situation, pour l’unique ordination de l’année le 28 mai, dans la cathédrale de Strasbourg, dans un habile exposé sur le métier de prêtre, galvanisant pour les intéressés, il en profite pour pointer la réunionite aiguë de ses pairs, en rien un remède efficace à leur solitude. Au centre, lors de son installation à la cathédrale le 2 avril dernier. Photo DNA – Marc ROLLMANN « J‘ai découvert Dieu et j’ai découvert l’Homme » « Je n’arriverais pas à me changer », convient Mgr RAVEL.
