Bishop of Paris and North of France, Anba Marc, has issued a statement alerting the congregation that there were individuals—the statement did not identify them—who were impersonating Coptic Orthodox priests and claiming to belong to the Paris and North of France Diocese. Anba Marc declared that no priests had been ordained other than the ones already there and known to the congregation, stressing that he had not delegated any outsider priest to any task. He warned against dealing with the imposters.
