Chibly Langlois (born 29 November 1958) is a Haitian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He is bishop of Les Cayes since 15 August 2011, and president of Haiti’s Bishops’ Conference.
Pope Francis, on 22 February 2014, elevated Langlois to the College of Cardinals. Langlois is the first Haitian cardinal, and the only one among the new cardinals at the February 2014 consistory who was not an archbishop.
Langlois was born in La Vallée in southeast Haiti to a poor family. Langlois entered the Grand Séminaire Notre-Dame of Port-au-Prince in 1985, where he studied philosophy and theology; later, from 1994 to 1996, he studied at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome and obtained a licentiate in pastoral theology. He was ordained priest for the diocese of Jacmel on 22 September 1991.
On 8 April 2004 Langlois was appointed bishop of Fort-Liberté by Pope John Paul II. On 15 August 2011 he was appointed bishop of Les Cayes by Pope Benedict XVI.
When choosing to elevate Langlois to the College of Cardinals in 2014, Pope Francis bypassed many more senior Haitian bishops including metropolitan archbishops Louis Kébreau and Guire Poulard. At the time, Poulard was his superior in the ecclesiastical province of Port-au-Prince.
