abb pierre

L'Abb Pierre (born August 5, 1912) was born as Henri Grous in Lyon is a French Catholic priest. Abb (abbot) is a courtesy title given to Catholic priests. He is the French founder of the Emmas movement which has the goal of helping poor and homeless people, and refugees. He was ordained in 1938. His pseudonym dates from his work with the French resistance during the Second World War, when he operated under several different names. Emmas was started in 1949. Abb Pierre has also the distinction of having been voted France's most popular person for many years, and in (2003) he beat a footballer into second place. Besides founding Emmaus, he has also been somewhat controversial and has been accused of anti-semitism, though he denies this saying that he is only interested in the truth. He is a friend of the philosopher and convicted Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy.
