Biography
He was born in La Ciotat to Dominique-François and Joséphine-Françoise Arnaud.[1] He studied in Marseilles and Rome, and obtained a doctorate in theology and a licentiate in canon law.[2]
Maurin was ordained to the priesthood on 8 April 1882 in Rome. He did pastoral work in the diocese of Marseille from 1882 until 1911. On 1 September 1911 Pope Pius X appointed him Bishop of Grenoble, being consecrated by Pierre Andrieu in October of that year.
He remained in Grenoble until Pope Benedict XV appointed him Archbishop of Lyon on 1 December 1916.[3] Three days later he was created and proclaimed Cardinal-Priest of SS. Trinità al Monte Pincio. Cardinal Maurin voted in the conclave of 1922 that elected Pope Pius XI.
He died in office on 16 November 1936 and he is buried in the metropolitan cathedral of Lyon.[3]
