Rome (By Cable) The Pope and
the papal secretary, Cardinal Merry
del Val, have refused all requests to
grant an interview for publication
on the Franco-Vatican situation, but
the following statement is authorized
by the Vatican:
"The situation may be summarized
as follows:
"The concordat, the most solemn
bilateral contract, has not yet been
denounced by the French Govern
ment, which wishes to establish a
new legal standing for the church
in France. The government did not
agree with the Holy See on this sub
iect and repeatedly and openly
showed hostility toward the head
of the church Violence may pre-
vail for a time. but those who are
suffering from this state of oppres-
sion preserve all their rights and all
their claims. The explosion of JOY
among the Masonic and demagogic
societies as a result of the persecu-
tion on the part of the government
shows that the war is against the
church and religion.
Notwithstanding the bills passed
and regulations adopted, France at
the present time has no law granting
religious liberty to those who do not
comply with the law providing for
the separation of church and State.
THE one good point in the cir
cular issued recently by the French
minister of public worship, M. Bri-
and, is his confession tnat 1t is i'm
possible to apply to cultural associa'
| tions the law of 1881 and 1901
which were adopted for the regula
tion of other kinds of associations
meetings. Therefore, what is needed
is a real law providing for real lib
erty, instead of arbitrary ministria
| circulars. The loyalty and good will
of the Holy See under similar cir
cumstances was shown in Brazil
There there was a monarchy and &
concordat, both of which the Repub
licans suppressed and proclaimed
| their separation from the Holy See
under certain reserves. Later the
Brazilian Republic came to an under
standing with the Vatican, and {
papal nuncio was accredited to Rit
Janeiro, while a Brazilian ministe
was accredited to the Vatican.
THE search of the nunciature a
Paris and the expulsion from Franc
of Mgr. Montagnini, secretary of tn
nunciature, were steps taken will
the object of making the world be
lieve the false statements circulate,
later, and which were said to hav
originated in the discovery of docu
ments seized at the nunciature, sue
as the report that some Of the Frenc
episcopacy and clergy were ready t
make applications to hold religion
meetings. There is no truth in tn
statement. The Holy See is not OF
posd to the making of application
under the law, but takes exceptio
to the whole spirit of the circula
issued by Minister of Public Worshi
BRAND"
