Biography
[edit]Early life
[edit]Franck Marie Quoëx was born in 21 June 1967 at Bonneville, Haute-Savoie in France, into an old Savoyard family, because he liked to be defined as Savoyard rather than French, thus showing his dual culture mixing with France and Italy.[1]
Priestly ministry
[edit]In 1986, he entered the International Seminary of St. Pius X in Ecône,[2] Switzerland. But he joined the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest in 1989, at that time the institute was just founded and initially in Moissac, France, and then in Gricigliano, Italy.
On 21 June 1992, right on his 25th birthday, he was ordained a priest by Cardinal Pietri Palazzini according to the Tridentine Rite. Then he started to studying theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (as known as "Angelicum") in Rome. He defended his doctoral thesis on "The External Acts of Worship in the History of Salvation according to St. Thomas Aquinas".[3]
Fr. Quoëx is also a professor of liturgy at the Seminary of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter in Wigratzbad, Bavaria. He had also been appointed professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome few days before his death.
Aside from his work as scholar and professor, Fr. Quoëx is also an experienced Liturgical Master of Ceremonies who has been said to be the only man who could organise an old Papal High Mass.[4] He was the Master of Ceremonies for Cardinal Alfons Maria Stickler for a couple of years.[5][6]
Death
[edit]In May 2006, Fr. Quoëx was diagnosed with cancer, which took his life less than nine months later. He died on 2 January 2007 in a hospital of Aubonne, Switzerland, and was buried in the cemetery of Lausanne, Switzerland, he was 39 years old and 15 years within the Priesthood.[7]
