French Premier Targets Clergy for Election Interference

The French premier is planning to “deal with” members of the Catholic clergy, who, he states, “have grossly abused their ecclesiastical functions in a way which can not be tolerated.” He has forwarded to all prefects of departments a circular letter drawing attention to the interference of the clergy in the recent elections, and inviting the prefects to furnish the names of those who have so interfered, in order that he may take measures for their punishment.
