# In the Closet of the Vatican

In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy (French: Sodoma: Enquête au cœur du Vatican) is a book by Frédéric Martel, which was published in French by Éditions Robert Laffont in February 2019 as well as being simultaneously released in eight languages. The book is based upon testimonies from 41 cardinals, 52 bishops and 45 apostolic nuncios, some of whom are anonymous, as noted by the author. The author argues that an overwhelming majority of priests and bishops serving in the Vatican—including several prelates who have given anti-gay sex speeches—are gay, and either secretly have sex with men or repress their desires.
The book is not primarily about child sexual abuse by priests but instead investigates the everyday dishonesty of Catholic priests who lie about their sexual orientation.

## Reception

In a long piece for New York, Andrew Sullivan wrote that "The Corruption of the Vatican's Gay Elite Has Been Exposed". The book was praised by Irish writer Colm Tóibín in the London Review of Books, the British historian Sir Diarmaid MacCulloch on The Times and dozens of scholars and specialists. The book has been translated into more than twenty languages; it was a bestseller in a dozen countries and a New York Times bestseller.
In 2019, Steve Bannon announced his intention of producing a movie based upon the book. This caused the resignation of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke from the Dignitatis Humanae Institute, which is led by Bannon.

## Biography

Bagge was born as the son of Norwegian nobleman Thord Olofsson Bagge and his wife Ingeborg Jakobsdotter. Both he and his father were first in the military service of Denmark. He entered Swedish military service for King Gustav Vasa in 1522. He fought for Sweden in the Count's Feud of 1534–1536. He took part in the suppression of the rebellion of Nils Dacke in 1542. By the 1550s, Bagge was considered the most experienced of Sweden's admirals.
He served with Baron Klas Horn (1517–1566) at Vyborg Castle during 1557. He participated in the battle against the Danish forces at the Battle of Bornholm on 30 May 1563. He subsequently fought in the Northern Seven Years' War of 1563–1570.

# Subshrub

A subshrub (Latin suffrutex) or undershrub is either a small shrub (e.g. prostrate shrubs) or a perennial that is largely herbaceous but slightly woody at the base (e.g. garden pink and florist's chrysanthemum). The term is often interchangeable with "bush".
Because the criteria are matters of degree (normally of height) rather than of kind, the definition of a subshrub is not sharply distinguishable from that of a shrub; examples of reasons for describing plants as subshrubs include ground-hugging stems or low growth habit. Subshrubs may be largely herbaceous though still classified as woody, with overwintering perennial woody growth much lower-growing than deciduous summer growth. Some plants described as subshrubs are only weakly woody and some persist for only a few years. Others, such as Oldenburgia paradoxa live indefinitely (though is still vulnerable to external effects), rooted in rocky cracks.
Small, low shrubs such as lavender, periwinkle, and thyme, and many shrub-like members of the family Ericaceae, such as cranberries and small species of Erica, are often classed as subshrubs.

## Definition

A chamaephyte, subshrub or dwarf-shrub is a plant that bears hibernating buds on persistent shoots near the ground – usually woody plants with perennating buds borne close to the ground, usually less than 25 centimetres (9.8 in) above the soil surface. The significance of the closeness to the ground is that the buds remain within the soil surface layer and are thus somewhat protected from various adverse external influences. Accordingly, the chamaephyte habit is especially common in stressful environments, for example:
* ecosystems on nutrient-poor soils or rock
* exposed alpine or arctic ecosystems where seasonal or perennial wind and freezing conditions are prone to kill vulnerable growing shoots
* ecosystems subject to frequent fires and burning, where many species of e.g. Banksia or Eucalyptus regrow from a lignotuber or caudex.
* heavily grazed or overgrazed ecosystems, such as tortoise turf

## Examples of chamaephytes

The term chamaephyte is most formally used within the context of Raunkiær plant life-forms' classification. Examples of chamaephytes are many of the species living in the maquis shrubland and other plants of submediterranean dry ecosystems (species such as thyme, Thymus vulgaris, and rosemary, Salvia rosmarinus); others include heather species (e.g. Calluna vulgaris and Ericas), African wild olive (Olea europaea ssp. cuspidata) and edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum). Chamaephytes also include cushion plants.

# René Sim Lacaze

René Sim Lacaze (27 July 1901 – 5 January 2000) was a French jewellery designer and artist. He played a major role in the development of the style known as European Art Deco.

## Life and work

René Lacaze was born in Paris on 27 July 1901. His mother ran a tailoring and dressmaking business in Rue d’Alger, where Lacaze grew to love fashion from his early childhood. His uncle, Armand Bignon, often took the young Lacaze to visit museums, where he discovered a passion for art.
A friend of Lacaze was a jeweller and regaled Lacaze with accounts of his work, describing how he created pieces of jewellery set with precious stones including diamonds. Lacaze felt drawn to the profession. He began a four-year training course at Atelier Mentel in Paris, a studio which worked with the most famous jewellers of the time: Cartier, Boucheron, Ancoc and Janésich.
He interrupted this training in 1921 to complete his military service. After spending 26 months in the French Air Force near Bourges, where he was deployed as a cartographer, he returned to Paris and introduced himself to the great jewellers in the Rue de la Paix and Place Vendôme.
In 1923, Lacaze began to work for Van Cleef & Arpels, where it was not long before his exceptional talent for drawing was spotted. Together with Alfred van Cleef's daughter, Renée Rachel Puissant, he took over as head of artistic and creative design at Van Cleef & Arpels in 1926. This period saw the creation of famous pieces of jewellery such as the Minaudière and the introduction of the 'serti invisible' technique which enabled gemstones to be held in place without visible prongs or claws.
In June 1928, Lacaze married his wife Simone; the couple went on to have four children. As he explains in his unpublished biography, in that year Lacaze added the first syllable of his wife's name to his own and henceforth was known as René Sim Lacaze.
Lacaze ceased to work for Van Cleef & Arpels in 1941, moving to Mauboussin and also running his own jewellery studio. He created pieces for illustrious clients including Marlene Dietrich, Michèle Morgan, Maurice Chevalier and the Duchess of Windsor.
Upon his retirement in 1968, Lacaze devoted himself to painting and produced numerous water-colours. He died at the age of 99 in Maisons-Laffitte on 5 January 2000.
Today, the name of René Sim Lacaze stands for the luxury online jewellery store RenéSim, founded in 2010 by Lacaze's grandson Maximilian Hemmerle and Hemmerle's business partner Georg Schmidt-Sailer.

# María Josefa Álvarez de Arenales

María Josefa Álvarez de Arenales (December 1, 1807 in Salta — June 15, 1890 in Buenos Aires) was a patriot who, at a young age, contributed financially to the Argentine War of Independence. She is considered one of the Patricias Argentinas. She married her second cousin, Colonel Evaristo de Uriburu [es], with whom she had many children; among them was José Evaristo Uriburu, who would become the President of Argentina. Her grandson, General José Félix Uriburu, was later the de facto president of the republic.

## Family

According to the historian and genealogist Carlos Ibarguren, she was a descendant of the Spanish colonizer Domingo Martínez de Irala. Her ancestors had remote Guaraní mestizo origin, an origin she shared with many heroes of the Argentine independence movement.
She was the daughter of Serafina de González Hoyos [es] and the general Juan Antonio Álvarez de Arenales.
Included among her children was the general Napoleón Uriburu [es], who participated in the Argentine Civil Wars, the Paraguayan War, the Conquest of the Desert, and the conquest of Chaco; he was also the governor of the Chaco and Formosa territories.

## War of Independence

During the Argentine War of Independence, Álvarez de Arenales donated her jewels and savings to aid the Argentine patriots. As a result, José de San Martín decorated her with a medal and band, upon which "To patriotism" was inscribed. She also received a paper that explained that the medal had been granted "to honor the hearts of the ladies who have felt the misfortunes of the country."

## Later life and death

She accompanied her father in exile, where she met her husband; she later returned with her husband to her home country. During her husband's retirement, she finally settled with her family in Buenos Aires, where in 1874 her father's skull was given to her. The skull was kept by her family until 1959, when it was placed in the Pantheon of Salta.
She died in Buenos Aires on June 15, 1890. Her daughter, Josefa Uriburu de Girondo, donated to Salta funds for the construction of a tuberculosis hospital; the hospital was named for Álvarez de Arenales.
